Eye problems..

Very few believe Jesus is on earth or would manifest to them. Hence, very few hallucinate Jesus.

Jesus was not adverse to manifesting himself on earth. The after-resurrection appearances to the apostles. The blinding manifestation to St. Paul. The visions of St. John recorded in Revelation. There's no reason he couldn't do it to others.

"Was" being the operative word there.

Was jolted awake last night and saw above me for a brief instant a glowing blue ring of plasma-like energy that also made an electrical crackling sound as it descended upon my face. Hallucinations rarely involve two simultaneous sensory modes, in this case sight and hearing. No big deal..I just take it as a sign/symptom of my accelerating evolution into a higher energy being. lol

Migraine aura? They can occur with or without the headache.

Maybe so. But I was jolted awake by something. I've had these myoclonic jerks before as a side effect of taking Effexor, especially when going off it too suddenly. What distinguished this one was it happened while I was sleeping and had visual/auditory manifestation. I have been having many experiences of hallucinated colors right when I wake up. Bright greens and blues and reds all coloring my rather monotone apt. I even observed a candle sconce I have hanging on the wall appearing to rise up continually but never actually moving at all. I actually look forward to what it will come up with next.

Migraines can cause floaters, too. Withdrawals from Effexor can cause nightmares and excessive dreams. Maybe you weren't fully awake. While it might be fun to see, I'd make sure to push the VA for further exams. I hope it's nothing bad. 

Good day to you, MR!

I'm scheduled for a follow up with my optometrist at the VA in February to confirm if I have glaucoma. Don't think these are symptoms of that though.

Just to follow-up on my waking experiences, on two more occasions I have been jolted awake to the blue light of something out of my field of vision illuminating my white pillow and covers. No sound. Just the brief cognizance that there is a light coming from something!

While I do see "lightning" in the corner of my eyes when I look to the left or right, my recent trip to the eye doctor found no sign of that. He said don't worry about it unless my vision becomes "shadowed" or "boxed in". Tks for the suggestion though.
