See faces. What does it mean to see faces at night? | Your guardian angel

Do you ever close your eyes to meditate or fall asleep, and start seeing faces passing through your mind’s eye?

Seeing faces at night like this is something that used to happen to me as a kid, and then it started again in college, and it scared the shit out of me to be honest! Before going to sleep I would see faces flickering before me, one after another like a slideshow of ghosts mysteriously appearing before me in the dark.

I thought they were real ghost faces, which scared me at the time, but as I have continued to open my third eye, and learned to tune into the spirit realms, I now understand that these faces are something else entirely.

What is the meaning of seeing faces?

There’s actually a scientific term for the phenomenon of seeing faces, whether it’s in clouds, trees, the texture of a wall, a shower curtain, or even a piece of toast. It’s called pareidolia, and it’s the result of the brain processing visual information like random lines, light, color, and texture. The brain is constantly seeking to understand reality, and so it works to assign meaning to what you see.

In the case of pareidolia, indistinguishable patterns, shapes, and textures are mentally combined with concepts that we can easily understand, such as faces.

So, with this in mind, let’s take a little deeper look at the faces when you close your eyes to meditate or sleep.

Opening of the third eye

As you develop spiritually, a natural part of this development is the opening of your clairvoyant sight through your third eye. When you are relaxed, such as just before bed, or during a meditation, it is easier for you to receive clairvoyant information, and to be aware of it.

Normally, your first clairvoyant visions will be colors, flashes of light, shapes, and geometric shapes… These can all be quite abstract, and so your brain may try to associate these random stimuli like flashes of light, energy signatures, and vague visual images into something tangible and meaningful, like a face.

Third eye opening can occur completely out of the blue, or it can be the result of spiritual and intuitive development, including deliberate attempts to open up to clairvoyant vision. For me, my third eye started to open completely out of nowhere, as I mentioned above it scared the hell out of me, but after some time I finally pushed myself to develop my clairvoyance, and then my visions and psychic impressions (and night faces) started to have a little more sense.

So when faces are seen at night… Are they ghosts?

Although I was initially worried that these nocturnal faces were ghosts, and you may be wondering as well, they usually aren’t. If you keep seeing the exact same face, there is a chance that it is a spirit with a message for you. But, if you see the “show of faces” flickering in your mind’s eye, this is much more often the reflections of your inner thoughts and impressions that you begin to tune into clairvoyantly, sort of like looking into a mirror. When this happens, your brain works to assign characteristics to the vague patterns of light and energy you receive, and you begin to see a chain of faces in the dark.

Also, seeing faces with closed eyes can be the beginning of receiving visions of future possibilities, people you’ll meet, stories you’ve lived through, and ancestors you’re connected to. You may be getting clairvoyant glimpses into parallel realities, alternate dimensions, the akashic records, or you may simply be receiving psychic information about the various stages of the human experience. After all, you are one with everyone and everything, and as you open up spiritually you will begin to tune in and experience this in your own unique way.

As I mentioned earlier, rarely seeing faces at night is the result of spirits visiting you. So don’t worry! If you find yourself responding in fear, know that you can call on divine white light, and Archangel Michael for protection.

You can also call on the angels to help you open your third eye more fully so that you can better understand what you are seeing, and to decipher the information you are receiving visually. By staying focused on responding to life with love and compassion, developing spiritually, and raising your vibration, you will naturally open your third eye.
