Everyone, thank you so much for further confirming what I believed I was (and still am, of course) experiencing. Like I said at the top of the conversation, it wasn't until recently that I again started seeing these lights. No, the lights have never scared me-- I suppose it's just being human that can make me and others around me second-guess and write it off as nothing more than eye problems...
Funny how I've always experienced getting what I call "confirmation goosebumps", in which whenever me or a person I am conversing with does, feels, or says something that is pure truth, I get goosebumps. But I never questioned those- perhaps because goosebumps are something other people can see as well.
Gotta see it to believe it sort of thing, I guess.... But it's just nice to come to a place where people don't think I am out of my mind

lol even though I am much of the time...
Now it's just a matter of learning what they want ME to know... whether it's "indicating I am on the right track", guiding me to make a "right" decision, or just simply offering comfort.
