Dizzy when walking in dark and seeing spots.

Hi everyone. Just to start off with I do get vertigo and but what I'll be explaining is something a bit different. I noticed this about 4 weeks ago as I normally dont walk around the house in the dark but I was spending the night at a friends and we had walked through her garage and into her house but to get into the main area we had to go through a room and a hallway with two doors. As this was my friends house was used to this, and I have been over plenty of times so I know the layout, but this time she didnt turn the lights on. As I was walkinh I got dizzy, it felt like I was on a rocking ship with everything going left and then right. I also saw large spots in front of me, like when you look at a light and look away and see those spots but to me they were about the size of a pillow and were a white/shimmery silver. The spots would start small and then grow and eventually disappear, but there would be many of these spots in my visison. I dont feel nausea when this happens just extreme dizziness to the point I had to stop walking and close my eyes or keep blinking and use the wall as a guide. At one point it was so bad I had to call my friend back to come get me and turn the light on because I was so dizzy. As soon as the lights on my balance takes about a second to fix itself and then its like nothing was wrong at all. This has happened a few times sense then, it's not a major concern for me as it doesnt seem to be anything major and isn't affecting my life. I'm just curious if anyine knows what this is or has similar experiences.
