Heh - the patterns, right?

Yes, they're strange!
Does it really help you sleep? If so I will focus on doing that and not waiting for sleep to grip me.

Patterns can be annoying on the inside.

Yes, especially if I manage to get a good "depth" thing going and a good sense of floating forwards through them.
There are the "flood" types, that wash from one side to the other like a reddish wave, pulses which always seem to come from above, random faint sparkly things, "blobs" - loads of things.
It's a bit like being aware of dreaming - there's a knack in not pushing too hard, and finding the right frame of mind to sit and watch yet being in control.

Yes, I have different things which I can't really describe, and a sense of whatever the shape is growing/shrinking rapidly, or perhaps going closer or further away from it, who knows! :lol:

It seems to work for me because it stops me thinking about stuff. Just focusing on the visual and observing without pushing I suppose is a form of meditation?

@blitzkrieg: Yeah, the flashy ones I used to get during the day were a bit of a worry for a while, but I now know they're related to certain types of patterns I see on "noisy" objects.

Well not long until I put it to the test and mercifully, I am feeling slightly tired right now!

No, stupid stuff like large areas of pebbles or fine brickwork. It would pulse or flash horribly if I looked at it for too long.
The only problems I've had with screens were old CRT things set at ridiculously low refresh rates - and doubly so if they were interlaced too.

Ah well there you go. Or hopefully, will be soon. :lol:

In the hopes of getting a full night's sleep, I'm off too. Wonder what's on the eyelid cinema tonight?

Goodnight, WP!
