Is it normal to see millions of dots?

Oh my. I had this when I woke up this morning. But it died down soon. I hope someone who has knowledge on the matter replies because I've been pretty worried about it.

I'm pretty certain that's called visual snow which can be a normal part of vision, I have it permanently and always see little things moving if I look at a sky. Anxiety can make you notice it more. Check with an optician if you're not sure of if you ever get flashing lights/holes in vision x

When this happens, do you feel a surreal sensation? And maybe things seem a bit hazy? I don't think you should worry but if you feel those things then that can most definitely be anxiety. Of course, consult a doctor, especially if it gets worse.

Yes I've noticed it back in October and I still have it. It's like I see perfectly fine but I can see the dots moving throughout my whole vision. I see it too mostly on walls and on the floors. Our walls or brown and so is the floor.

 as the years went on, I noticed them less but they are still there especially when I’m anxious. Somehow there is a connection between anxiety and those tiny spots as well as floaters. I’ve had them so long that I usually forget about them , but they are not harmful. Just  make sure that if you ever have flashes around your eyes to have that checked out. They can be from migraines but they can also be from what I had which is a little tear in my retina. It was an easy fix but can be more serious if you ignore it. 

The tear  has nothing to do with anxiety or stress. It’s just something that can occur with natural changes in the eye over time.

 hope you feel better 

I've been looking absolutely everywhere on the internet for this and once i found this my thought process was, "Oh, thank god, so this must be one of those relatable things you never thought could've been the same with anyone else right?" and then I read the comments and it seems that i was wrong.

for me, i was never that worried about it say (and this is because i thought it was common, however, i wouldn't say i'm not a kind of hypochondriac in specific areas) i was more curious about it and i never asked my teachers this one theory i had about it because i felt like it was stupid. i won't say it here either because i still think it appears stupid.

but further from my "life story", the way you've described it is exactly how i'd describe it, except of course for the concerns. I wondered if it was something to do with a person's vision or different lightings and I looked everywhere and i couldn't find a single thing anywhere. my friends didn't know neither my mother.

The replies to your comment describe it as a condition but i think it can't be. It's something that's just everywhere and unknowingly more visible in darkness. If you look closely you can see it anywhere all the time. So far I have no answers and seen none that can satisfy me. I've heard about "visible snow" but it's not exactly the same. i guess this is something that can be explained but I'll never find the answer.

I'm sorry if this sounds like a waste of your time, and you think this is nothing like what you explained, but i guess that's basically it. Oh, and I've had it ever since I was little or around 8-9 years old.

My earliest recollection of this vision would be around 7-8 years old. I always had trouble sleeping and would follow the dots around like a drone through space to help me sleep.

This makes the most sense to me... still inconclusive though!

A photoreceptor cell is a specialized type of cell found in the retina that is capable of visual phototransduction. The great biological importance of photoreceptors is that they convert light (visible electromagnetic radiation) into signals that can stimulate biological processes. (rods & cones etc...)

Photoreceptor cells are typically arranged in an irregular but approximately hexagonal grid, known as the retinal mosaic.

My theory is that everyone has this, but people with anxiety or trouble sleeping often lay awake conscious long enough to notice it, once you have noticed it, you are forever now aware of it. People who just fall asleep straight away would never notice.
