My dad gets just the migraine auras, without the pain. He had no idea what it was until I started getting migraines as a teenager and tried to explain them to him what they were like, and he recognized that as that weird feeling that he sometimes gets.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Non-migraine-related, I see things that aren't there out of the corner of my eyes a fair amount.

I just went out to dinner with my family, and in the ladies' room, painted on the wall, was "The weather started getting rough, the tiny ship was tossed..." I asked my dad to go into the men's room and see if there was anything painted on the wall. He gave me a weird look, but did it. The men's room had, "If not for the courage of the fearless crew, the Minnow would be lost."

Yeah, a quick google is telling me that with an aura, sparklies, waviness, lines, and even repeating patterns that "unroll" like a window shade are common, but not seeing things that aren't there. This could just be a coincidence. Or it could have really been Jesus in the dog food.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's as best as I can explain it.
Thinking more on it "I coulda swore I just saw..." is a thing I've experienced, but just chalked up to weirderies of the brain.
Huggy, you're involved in crime! How could you???

That seems the most likely, really.

I think you have a country-western hit on your hands.
Auras, wavy lines (occular migraines), olfactory migraines, and once -- and hopefully never again -- an abdominal migraine. But no seeing actual things. More not seeing things as the blind-spots arrive.
Hoping it's just a coincidence.

I'm one of the olds that has Netflix DVD service still. I figure unemployed means watch 'em until I can't afford 'em.

I very often see things when exhausted from serious lack of sleep ( doesn't happen that often, travel mostly.) I'm acutely aware they aren't there-they look real, but somehow I know they aren't. I don't react anymore, just go huh. Figure it's just my brain misfiring.
