When you close your eyes, what do you "see"?

[bender5]

Often times I ponder this question, because I hear some off the wall things when people explain the way their brains work.

I'd take a guess at saying 98% of the State of New Jersey is totally retarded(satirically speaking of course) . There's quite a few people that are damn smart, but hardly any of them come from "Jersey" families.

With that being said none of them have any intelligence or creativity, so they just don't know how to truly take an attempt at describing the way they think.

When I was a little kid I used to see colors and patterns when I would push on my eyelids when they were closed before I would be able to fall asleep. These days people tell me they see those patterns when they're on Acid and I get confused, because when I close my eyes now I can see full vivid detail of anything I'm attempting to picture.

Forget about it if I'm actually under the influence of something that forces closed and open eye "visuals", I'm not going to try to explain that.

I'm just wondering the average Critical Thinker here, probably a lot like myself, constantly analyzing not only the way that people act, but the way they react, how they perceive, life, reality, whatever you want to call it, but it's all about brain function, and I'm trying to do as much studying of myself and the brain as I can, because I'm fascinated by the way that my mind forces my horribly broken down body to do the incredible things I manage to pull of.
