Have you considered a
hypnagogic state ?
Some of you explain seeing these geometric patterns after you fell asleep again during the midnight. In this occasion there is the highest likelyhood
to witness this facsinating state.
Many people who practice lucid dreaming, try to induce the WILD(wake induced lucid dreams) by setting their alarm clock in the middle of night. Then
go back to sleep in 5-30mins, and try to stay concious all di while.. succesful WILD can include OBE, hallucinations such as these geometric patterns,
sounds etc....I have never managed to exp it like that.
Anyway I have had a strange experience that is almost similar. I went into a lucid state in my dreams(DILD). I was flying in a forest. After awhile I
thought of trying to induce another scenery to have dreams.. I thought of closing my eyes in this dream and opening them up again to be somewhere
else, but when i closed my eyes, I started to see a quickly changing geometric patterns in black background, a bit similar to
stephenville sighting, just closer up, more clear and flexible. I was amazed of it and kept
watching these patterns for period of time that felt like a long minute. I was "concious" all the time, and i could have kept watching them longer,
but i decided to open my eyes, since i started to feel awkard. I woke up and was little exhausted gasping my breath
The phenomena couldve been a concious experience of a hypnagogic state, at least if it happened right after I went to sleep, but I didn't..I entered
into it from a lucid state(which is not very normal state either though)..so I don't know.
