Floaters.

[JR77]

Does anyone ever see these? I think they are called "floaters" - but when it is really bright out you look straight ahead and it looks like little cells floating around...like a circle with a dot inside it. I have seen them my whole life - and I always thought that they were actual cells...I was curious and very stoned the other day and did some searching online and a lot of other people see them, too! Weird!!!

There are actually two things you are talking about. Sometimes you can actually see dust particles floating around in a stream of light. The other is 'seeing stars'. This happens when you get up too fast and your blood sugar is low (dizziness accompanies stars). It can happen when you get hit in the head as well....remember the cartoons caricatures having birds or stars flying around thier heads after getting hurt?
Mine look like worms sometimes too. Sometimes just dots of light.

And I always call unchewed food in drinks floaties...yuck.
