What might cause an 81-year-old man to see red dots on the carpet and the walls?

Answer I am 16 years old and I also have this problem, though I would not consider it a problem. It's been happening since I was about six years old. It's very strange to me because I can make mylsef see these red dots.

The dots I see are a small cluster of moving bright red dots. It usually occurs in the dark, but also in the light. I think it may just be your mind creating a form of stimulus, though this does not explain how I can cause myself to see these dots.

I realize this does not answer your question, but I thought it might help if you knew you were not alone, if we are seeing the same type of dots Answer Oh, this is interesting. I do not have this phenomenon anymore but remember that as a child of about 5 to about 7 years I would see red/ blue/ yellow patterns of dots with closed eyes as well. Because my parents had put me on experimental pills back then with tiny traces of LSD to make me less of a day dreamer.

I blamed the occurance on LSD. A while ago, however, I read an article on the internet claiming that such visions can be triggered by brain waves going wild. So, possibly LSD after all...:).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
