maps and journeys - Closed eye hallucination

After doing my initial testing of the video, i though it looked to bland /rubbish and wasn't really giving the effect i wanted it too. 

I was trying to think of a way to make it a bit more exciting whilst giving off a calming effect. 
I started thinking about the effects and patterns that your eye makes when you close them really tight as they are quite relaxing and bright lights. 

The term for the things you see when you close your eyes is closed eye hallucination.  They are closely related to phosphene ( a phenomenon characterized by the experience of seeing light without light actually entering the eye.) 

They are 5 main types of close eye hallucinations 

1. visual noise - this is like seeing static on a televison. its mainly grain or small flashing lights that form no real shape or pattern. 

2.light / dark flashes - people can experience intense flashes of black/whites that can span the entire visual field, but seem to be fleeting in nature

3.Patterns, motion, and color -  the complex motion of these patterns can become directly visible without any great effort.  The patterns themselves might resemble fractals (  a natural phenomenon or a mathematical set that exhibits a repeating pattern that displays at every scale) 

4.objects and things - noise seems to calm down and fade away, leaving behind an intense flat ordered blackness. The visual field becomes a sort of active space. A side component of this is the ability to feel motion when the eyes are closed 

5.Overriding physical perception - The internal closed eye perceptions and think-it/feel-it perceptions become stronger than physical perceptions, and completely override and replace open-eye physical perceptions . this type of hallucination is harder to achieve as you would need to be in a sensory deprivation tank to create them. 

i think i am going to try and incorporate types 1-4 in the video  as the will be the easiest and most realistic to create.
