Hello there!
So... No, no painting at all. And, no, no ceiling fan or anything like that. But interesting questions never the less.
Now, involving the "black dots"... They had a faint color black. By this, I want to say that they weren't perfect circular dots, with a strong black color. I must reaffirm what I said before, I am certain that those dots felt very "cellular"
The word dot was very vague from my part. Because by no means I meant "holes" or anything like that. They felt like they had mass. They even felt like they had volume.
Now, even though I don't truly understand what may be going around here, I had being trying it more times. So, for those who want to try this,(because as mentioned is quite easy and also fascinating), I recommend you to use a bright light as the only source of light. No natural light, no windows open. The less "atmospheric" light there is in the room, the bigger and shinier the reflection of the flash in the eye. The bigger the reflection, the easier to see through. (I think I am not saying anything weird this time)
On my part, I think I reached a non-so-crazy hypothesis. Let's review the "facts" that I am taking as valid:
• I see something amplified
• If the lens moves (if my girlfriend moves her eyes), the background does the same
• What I saw had mass, meaning that couldn't be a stain from my eye, or any eye damage related
I think that by looking at a tiny flash of the eye, I am processing its light, and just this light, that comes from a tiny part. And it is amplified as I am looking at an eye. A biological lens of its own.
Finally, I would like to say that I am going to be trying this with some friends, so expect some news from me.
I think that I may answer your questions, Zer0, but if you have more, don't hesitate to ask.
