Hello chrissylee , welcome !

When you are busily occupied with a task that requires your full concentration, do you still see these faces ?
Do you see them when you blink ?

Is it only one face at a time that you see, which then morphs into another ?

Thanks .

interesting, and scary too.

however could it not be a over active imagination ? I dont know what your seeing so thats all i could think off. i mean its amzing what the brain can do ?

When it starts i have no control over it, i try to stop it and it makes it happen more. Saying that i have gone a few months without seeing a thing and then literally out of the blue it starts up again. In my head i am trying to stop it but they continue to come.
The only way to stop it is to stay p until i cant keepmy eyes open then i fall to sleep. Its very rare that i fear them but a couple of them worry me.

That is exactly it, i only see a few that worry me but if i open my eyes i can still see the one that i last saw and it is still moving until it fades.

That is a interesting question. My only answer is the fact that i do not see anything else, these people have no relevance in my life, they have no attachment to me. If it was a case of a over active imagination i would see other things like animals or even people that i know but this is never the case.

I agree it is a rather specific visual phenomenon , not a rambling stream of associated images .
Have you had any odd experiences with peoples faces in normal interactions i.e eyes open ?
Does your internal dialogue pick up on this theme ?


Thanks for fielding these questions , ...... the only parallel i can make with myself is on those few extreme occasions when i have gone without sleep approaching 48 hours . The mind can become obsessive and keep returning to a `theme` even when it is clearly unsettling to ourselves.

We are very capable of tormenting ourselves .

When my eyes are closed and they first come, if i concentrate on one person and open my eyes i can continue to see them until i lose my concentration. This always worries me as they stare right at me.
With reference to them speaking, I cant make out what they are saying but it seems like they are having a conversation with someone other than me. they will often turn their head as if they are talking to someone next to them.

I don`t know what to say chrissylee .

I truly hope you find some peace of mind , even a few hours respite .

The only thing i could suggest is that you take some semblance of control over the situation , lay down some imagery that you derive strength / peace or comfort from . Failing this , if the theme continues to darken and it begins to affect the functionality of your daily life ...speak to a medical professional, exhaust all possibilities .
Keep it positive .

All the best .

Umbra Sumus.

It is simlar but i tend to see it when i close my eyes, not necessarily when I am dreaming. My dreams would need a thread of there own lol. The faces that come are not all scary but some are, now like you it really scares me when they look right at me, its as if they know that i can see them. Yesterday i had one that carried on looking at me after i opened my eyes for a good 10 secs.
