Exactly, or when I simply close my eyes sometimes, also it intensifies when I rub my eyes. Sometimes it feels like the shapes have a specific colour too, because they are different from each other, but I really can't say what colour, as if I see a whole new colour that doesn't exist outside

Take a shiny object in front of your face, you can see the shiny reflections on it like stars, but if you put it closer to your eyes you can see that they are round. Look close enough and you can see bacteria... I think.

I remember as a small child, maybe even a toddler, playing with these in my eyes, chasing them around in sight trying to capture them. Never knew what they were. Now I'm 70, I'm still playing with them. Half my lifetime ago I found out the name of them; just a few short years ago I found out nothing could be done about it.
