So yeah. Lately, on and off, I've been able to see through my eyelids and see my room when I'm going to sleep. It's only happened a couple of times but enough so that it's peaked my interest.

I was running a virus scan on my computer last night and I didn't really have much to do, so I just went and lied down on my bed to rest my eyes. I noticed after awhile I was staring at my room but it was much dimmer and I couldn't see as much around the fringes of my vision and I thought "what the-" and realized I couldn't see as much because I was seeing through my eyelids. Everything was normal, I'm not particularly overly familiar with this room since I just moved in here like a month ago but everything was in its place and all of the finer details were there. So, I did a reality check or two and confirmed I was indeed awake.

Later on I went to bed for real and was disappointed to find it wasn't happening anymore, but as I dozed off some I seen that I could see my body and my bed but something was off, my body was in a slightly different position than what I was actually seeing. Again, I tried some reality checks but I was definitely awake.

I realized afterwards something similar had happened a few months before, but that instance I could actually see me moving and checking my phone when I wasn't, I was just in bed trying to go to sleep.

It's pretty interesting though, how all the objects and scenery kind of just takes shape from vague to being identical to reality.

I found one thread here relating to it, but I'm not really satisfied with the whole "you must have amazing visualizing skills" explanation as I have a horrible time holding any image in my head and I'm not exactly the imaginative sort (all of this a disappointment to someone who wanted to be an artist, lol)

Anyway, any explanation or personal opinions welcome, I'm just trying to figure this out.
