Anyone noticed this after sleeping?

Normally if you have your eyes closed and there's a bright light you see a noisy red/orange colour under your eyelids, well i've noticed that just after waking up i sometimes see this...

I think it might have something to do with brain state and dreaming but any ideas?

Not for me, I usually get big black and white blobs instead.

Depends how many kitchen sponges your eating. Amirite?

Cant say I've ever experienced this, but I tend to be more occupied with getting ready for work

I see random shapes when I'm drifting off sometimes and flashes of light, but they can be quite interesting and actually help me nod off

Well try to remember next time you wake up, open the curtains and close your eyes, it doesn't take long before it wears off.

Eyes do all kinds of weird things when your waking up - sometimes I think one type of receptor in mine are slower waking up or something than others and I will see a fine pattern of white dots for a few moments before they fade to the proper image.

Nope. Can't say I've ever had that.

What does the source of those images say? Or did you make those images yourself?

Same, I get epic film grain effect when I'm waking up. Feels like L4d2 with the noise turned up

Do you ever get a rabbit with a carrot pop up in the circles?

This took about a minute of genuine head scratching before it sunk in!

i've never had that, OP. i do notice that i don't get my balance until about 5 seconds of being stood up though, even when i haven't had a night on the wine the night before.
