... what you see?

Any movement, colours, static or just nothing?

Negative outline of the window/shapes etc I have in my view, in a reddish background.

Why?

TheRealMummyPig · 23/09/2019 12:36

I see nothing when I close my eyes. I can picture things in my mind if I want to, but in terms of what I can physically see when I close my eyes, it's just darkness.

A dark baked bean colour

MrsPear · 23/09/2019 12:37

I can sense that it is light but that is it. I also can’t do pictures in my mind.

Apolloanddaphne · 23/09/2019 12:38

Black with sort of fuzzy white bits like little dots of light.

ShippingNews · 23/09/2019 12:38

Total darkness - no shapes, colours, static.

ShitFuckBastardBollocks · 23/09/2019 12:38

A dark browny red colour with lighter patches where the window is

justbefuddleme · 23/09/2019 12:38

Same as above pp, an outline of the windows and things that were in front if me then fades to black?

SunniDay · 23/09/2019 12:39

Dark with lighter blobs where the light sources and lighter colours have been. However I work waking nights and if I am really sleep deprived - say a day, a night and then a day with no sleep it can get quite psychedelic with swirling patterns and colours and movement.

Apolloanddaphne · 23/09/2019 12:39

I can do pictures in my mind but it isn't what i see when i close my eyes. That is in a different place IYSWIM. One is just behind my eyes and one is in my mind/brain.

Bobthefishermanswife · 23/09/2019 12:40

As above, in terms of just shutting my eyes, complete dark reddy brown directly in front of me, lighter to the left were the windows and patio doors are.

AfterSchoolWorry · 23/09/2019 12:41

Yeah, vague negative image of the room I'm in.

I think in words though, not images.

SimonsJones · 23/09/2019 12:45

Nothing total darkness.

WorraLiberty · 23/09/2019 12:46

A negative outline of my screen and a few golden/orange colours.

Why?

AussieBeauty · 23/09/2019 12:47

Blue tinge at first

user1471449295 · 23/09/2019 12:47

Darkness

Chouetted · 23/09/2019 12:48

Red, with psychedelic effects where I have a small scotoma (looks like blue and white leopard print today).

SuzieBishop · 23/09/2019 12:49

Blackish grey then the light of the window to my right

Coromandel2 · 23/09/2019 12:50

Orangey with darker patches/lines with a bluish hue

CassianAndor · 23/09/2019 12:50

nothing, just darkness.

lottiegarbanzo · 23/09/2019 12:51

Orange, with dark lines.

That has nothing to do with 'the mind's eye' of course.

Elllicam · 23/09/2019 12:52

Reddy brown with flickers from the tv.

Skyejuly · 23/09/2019 12:52

Black. Reddy lines from looking at window

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 23/09/2019 12:53

I’m in a room with just natural, but not direct light and when I close my eyes it’s just black.

Yugi · 23/09/2019 12:53

Nothing, I have aphantasia though so not surprising.
