Could anyone explain this weird experience?

Question

Twice now I have experienced a thing where I'm awake with my eyes closed and something like a screen appears right in front of my closed eyelids, it seems, with a progression of random moving images. The images are silhouetted and move like a film. (Most of the images involved shapes of people). I think it's really strange.

Has anyone else had an experience like this? Can anyone explain it? Or am I just going mad?

Yes, I do and sudden thought I really realize that it is a normal.

Answer 3

Actually your expericing what some people attain during a deep meditation state.  There is nothing to be afraid of and you are not going crazy.  However I suggest that you learn more about meditation and some of the effects it can have on you.  I've listed a really good source below that can help you understand meditation.

when you are awake you brain is constantially recieving information from your eyes. they are the main way for you brain to recieve information from the outside world.

occasionally when you close your eyes, your eyes keep on sending signals to your brain as if it was still seing things. this is perfectially normal. the fibers that transport information from your eyes to your brain arnt able to imediatly shut off and your brain is so used to having visual information sent to it that it believes that it is still seeing something that it is not.

the most common place to see this is in action is 'phantom pains'.

this is when someone has had a limb removed from their body(e.g. their leg), but they can still feel pain in their missing limb sometimes! (they can feel their little toe hurting even though th enetire leg has been cut off!)

their brains cant comprehend that part of their body is missing and pretend that its recieveing information from the limb anyway.

this is whats happening to you when you close you eyes. all day long you brain gets information from your eyes, and when this stream of information stops you brain simply 'makes something up'!

this is perfectially normal =)
