Burnt in vision?

I was wondering about two OBE experience i had for a long time ago.
This was my first experience with OBE. Ive had a few OBEs', but many LD since. But what caught my attention about these two was that as i got my "vision" in this state, my field of vision sort of burnt in. It was like i was first in all blackness, refferd to as a void by someone here on the forum, when suddenly like this void just was paper and "burnt" away and i got my vision sense, little by little(happend fast) as it burnt to the edge of my vision. Now when i experience a LD its more sort of i realize im dreaming from a dream, or im suddenly just in the dream.

Has anyone ever experienced this kind of "burn" in vision, or know what it was? Just curious about what it could have been.

Wooah, I can honestly say that I am unable to relate with that man, sorry. But I at least wanted to reply so the post gets bumped back to the top.

Anyone else here have any experiences like this???

That happens to me once in a while...it's like there's a map or something,
and suddenly there's a flame in the center and it quickly burns away, and
then...
Oh wait...I'm thinking of the opening credits on Bonanza.
:-P
(Couldn't resist)
I have experienced like a small spark in the center of my field of vision
that quickly expanded to a bright flash of light, but it was so startling that it
woke me up.

Burned vision may be your personal way of entering a dream from darkness or "void".

For me, semitransparent etheric images appear, and they become more and more real, until I can actually walk around and interact with a dream... It does feel weird tho :D

Hehe
After the burn in i found my self the first time looking up in the roof, crystal clear and all that, and the second time i found myself in the hallway outside my frontdoor.
Only way i can think of it like is that signals was sent to the vision place in the brain, and stimulated it like my eye stimulates it but on another way like the brain trying to map a new way of seeing without an eyeball.
Have really no idea, never experienced it since. But it was really strange.

*Moves to Beyond Dreaming*

The barriers burning down in the "void" could be symbolic of reaching a plateu of consciousness, reaching the next level, etc. As the void symbolises the unknown and unpredictability comes burning down, this could mean that you are now aware of your new consciousness and the lucid dreaming state.

My question is if this was an OBE, then was it in your mind or well.. what kind of "realm" were you in? What state? What was the state of mind?

If it was in the astral plane or simply, external of your body, then that could symbolise more. It could represent the perforation of the tangible external environmnet.

I'll leave it at that point, look forward to hearing what you have to say.

The first happend a night i just knocked out on my bed. After a while i saw the roof getting closer and closer after the burn in happening. In after thoughte im really not sure if those were OBE's, but ive always refferd to them as it. At that time all i was thinking about after those spontan OBE's was OBE. So i experienced many minor OBE's where i got aware of this really high belly noise in my ear, the void, vibrations, and then experience a swift ride trough a tunnel, sometimes getting nowhere, sometimes getting trough and into my bedrom, sometimes just seeing my bedroom trough closed eyelids, and sometimes a brief tour up and out. But after i turned over to Lucid Dreaming all im experiencing is LD's. Im planning to use LD as launching pad for OBE's. Made it once and it was funny how easy it was when already inside a dream.

For the first experiences i reffer to as OBE's they could also be LD, cause when i woke up right after it it wasnt dark outside like inside the dream/obe but it was light. It was about 2 years ago, and when i experienced it, it was quite confusing, didnt understand what happended in the moment, and after i woke up. But it was crystal clear and i moved from my body the first time, so i dunno really.
