You were probably like, 'Mental note. No more candles': ![Big Smile [:D]](http://www.aypsite.com/plus-forum/Smileys/akyhne/icon_smile_big.gif)

Christi: The thing that caused the flashing lights in my case was a small ball of flashing light that appeared first in front of my eyes, seen with my inner vision when my eyes were closed. For many months it remained in front of my eyes, but then it gradually began moving around my head, causing a vibration in the part of my head closest to it. Vibrations in the head can also (and much more commonly) be caused by the kundalini energy activating different chakras.
That's similar to my experience, yet different. But I was thinking that maybe the same light that we experienced was connected with a state of consciousness, where we're actually dreaming, which is causing the REM [rapid eye movement], although we are in the awake state and are unaware of it. Kind of like when we dream, the eye flutters, because we're looking at pictures and feel like we are those pictures - in one state of conscious. And in the conscious, awake state, we're observing the same thing, but perceive it as light, as if the eye is a camera lens perceiving these same dreams filtered through nervous system, or through states of consciousness.
We have muscle, motor, control in the awake state, since we are observing, compared to the lack of motor control due to active participation in the dream state. Am I making any sense? LOL:

Christi: How does this flashing light thing fit in to your meditation/ kundalini activity etc?
It happens out of the blue and I have no way of predicting when the REM Like Light happens, since it's not something that happens regularly. And was only perceptible, because of the longer duration. I had only nano second glimpses before, that puzzled me. But it must be connected with the chakras, as you said, and I'll try and pay more attention to where my focus is when it happens.
Thanks, again, for sharing your experience, Christi, since it helps me gain different insight, wisdom, and perspective:

Hi VIL & Christi,
I just wanted to add my voice to this, as well.
Me, too.

Actually, Christi and I have recently learned that we experience some very similar things, energetically - so maybe you (VIL) are entering that same realm.
I got the fluttering eye / lights thing for quite some time (maybe 2 years, or so -- in the beginning, it was really wild -- full-blown metaphysical lightning shown, in conjunction with what I thought at the time was the beginning of samadhi - but was actually just "feelingreallyreallygoodi"
![Cool [8D]](http://www.aypsite.com/plus-forum/Smileys/akyhne/icon_smile_cool.gif)
Then, my eyes settled down quite a bit over this past year, but "interesting stuff in my field of vision" has become even more so - but clearly via the third-eye ... not "behind the eyelids" as this other energy, was.
However, it's been coming back a bit lately ... the lights seem less, but I think they're the same -- they're just less in comparison to how vivid and interesting third-eye visions can be.
My guess, per the return of "eye action" is simply that I've felt drawn to do a bit more overall energy work (spinal breathing) lately, which seems to be a great benefit over all -- the eyelid-flutter just seems to be a sign of running the much subtle energy up and down the spine.
I just wanted to share my experiences, in case they're helpful -- but I don't actually know that much about what's going on -- energetically, it's pretty minor for me right now -- I hadn't really thought about discussing it here, until I saw this thread.
Hope this helps - I'll be interested to hear what others have to say.
Peace & Namaste,
Kirtanman
