Yep - those are called phosphenes. Pressure can generate them as well as low-frequency electrical stimuli.

Yes. My grandmother is blind from a disease known as maculuar degeneration.  She dreams in full color.  She doesn't know if the colors look like what everyone else sees, according to her.  But she dreams about an apple and it is what she thinks red should be.  She can "see" what an apple looks like by feeling its shape and texture.  She imagines the rest.

This sounds like synesthesia. Most of the times I've heard of this it ties colors to letters. A is red, q is yellow, that sort of thing, but I think the term applies to any mixing of the senses.\n\nAs neurological conditions go, this one sounds kind of fun. Enjoy!

I can sometimes do that.  If I'm dreaming and know I'm dreaming, I'll lower my inhibitions a bit and just let myself go because I know it's "not real".  (i.e., if it's a "happy" dream and I want to go through with it because I know there won't be any consequences because it's "just a dream")\nAnd I have woken up from a dream and wanted to go back to resume my dream.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.  If I am not "fully awake" and I focus on the dream and where I was, I can resume it.  If I wake up fully and try to go back to sleep to resume it, it doesn't usually work...\n\nInteresting question...

the eyes sometimes open briefly during rapid eye movement(REM) sleep which is when you are more likely to be dreaming.

I know exactly what you are talking about... I seem to be conscious, yet I cannot move... I see everything that's around me in the dark room, my eyes seem to be open, but are they ?   .. how long this lasts, I dont know, but I'm conscious enough to say to myself, "this is just a dream, its going to go away"\nIt has happened several times to me to be dreaming especially about flying and saying to myself, "When I wake up, this is what I'll do to be able to leave the ground, its so easy" \nOr to dream about places I've never been to in real life, but to which I go back often in my dreams.  Dreams are weird things but without them we would not be able to live.  I'm only surmising this, but I wonder if its not the brain winding down after so much activity during the day.

The truth is that you see with your brain, not with your eyes.  The eyes are simply cameras relaying meaningless information to the brain.  It is the brain which makes sense of the information.  Dreaming is thought to be a time when the things you have perceived during the day are sorted out.  Rubbish is disposed of and the good stuff is kept.  REM is when you dream.  The hippocampus comunicates with the cortex allowing consolidation of memory.

why not, do u dream with ur eyes open?\n\nPeople who are visually impaired from birth appear to lack visual imagery in their dreams. It's believed that the parts of their brains that register visual information remain dormant. \nAccording to this fascinating article by Diego Kaski in the International Medical Students' Journal, even people who lose their sight early in childhood retain visual imagery in their dreams well into adulthood. However, this imagery fades over time. \n\nNevertheless, blind people do dream and often describe their dreams in terms of places and surroundings. An article from the University of Santa Cruz notes that blind dreams feature a "very high percentage of gustatory, olfactory, and tactual sensory references," something very unusual for sighted dreamers to experience. \n\nFor some intriguing and descriptive quotes on the subject, read Richard Catlett Wilkerson's article "Dreams of the Blind."

i do it all the time!  \n\nthe people who think it's impossible are uniformed. \n\nclosing your eyes is the natural involuntary response, but when i was young i realised that i could voluntarily keep my eyes open. \n\nIt is possible, and i have had no ill effects from doing it.  I think it is a fun way to impress my friends.  They all think I'm weird, and i like it like that!

In color, because your brain recap your day and what you experience is in color so you dream in color too.

I used to get this a lot when I used to regularly stay awake for 70+ hours in a stretch (I had problems and didn't sleep much).  Basically the way that the eyes work involves two main pigments (often called visual yellow and visual purple) which are photosensative (like camera film) and they constantly renew themselves, if you have not slept enough sometimes the production of these visual pigments slows down a bit leading to shapes and specks in th peripheral vision.  \nHave a great day and get more sleep!

Your tears will be dry and your contacts may 'roll' up your eyes, kinda like if you fall asleep with them on and then you have to locate them when you awake on your eye. I have contacts and I've had surgery, think of your surgery as if you are taking a heavy nap.

Yes. I've done that alot... But it's usually where i dream about it and then it happens the next day. I have a lot of Deja Vu moments and i also have insomnia sometimes. It really kinda freaks me out when i have Deja Vu twice..
