Anthropomorphic interpretations

Aliens

"I've had a chocolate induced migraine, but it was only after I had eaten more chocolate in one sitting than any smart person would attempt... As for the silvery 'blind' spots, they are usually right in the center of my field of vision (they remind me of that shimmering alien in an old Star Trek)."

Form of a person

"But I always have some weird visual thing going on, even when I don't get the complete aura. I describe it as 'seeing air.' The air is full of sparkling dots, like I can see the molecules colliding.... now *that* is pretty, especially when they form dense shapes (like the form of a person) even when there's nothing there. I used to think everyone could see this.....but I've come to realize that only other migraineurs see them...."

Pac Man

"That sounds like an aura. I used to get prettier auras with sparkly holographic colors and patterns. Now I just get the bright spot. It looks like Pac-Man without eyes. I don't always get a HA after seeing it though."
