I never thought it could be depicted so accurately. This is *exactly* what happens to me, with the exception that in the semi circle, the lights flicker and move like a kaleidoscope.
What three otherwise sensible people have said about Webside Gleanings
It is a treasurehouse of the bizarre and the offbeat, and it could quite easily eat up 30-60 minutes of your day every day unless you approach it with caution. So - be cautious, be self-disciplined, but do go and have a look. It's a gem.
A charming compendium of the amusing, irritating and obscene, often in the same link. Its cross-eyed editor is an unsung genius who provides a happy meeting place on the net for the disillusioned, the slightly sociopathic, and people with a laptop who have a long time to wait for their train. A familiarity with the more arcane reaches of Church history may help the reader with the less obvious jokes.
It's like wandering into an emporium with lots of choice trinkets and ornaments that you never knew existed and would look just lovely on the mantelpiece.
Not only is it difficult to know the truth about anything, but to tell the truth when one knows it, to find words that will not obscure or pervert it, is in my experience an exhausting effort.

Thanks, Anonymous - it's good to know they're getting it right.

it's got a flash movie made by the sufferer and it's so close to real i thought for a moment, OH NOT it's happening again.
this is good stuff...
Yes, that's extraordinarily convincing.
My own visual symptoms have never been so spectacular - just mist and stars - but it matches what I've heard other people describe.
