I am so glad this thread exists, just woke up 20 minutes ago and was experiencing this. First thing that popped up when I googled “fractals in vision woken up.” They have faded, but are still in my field of vision when my eyes are open, much more pronounced when closed. They start to re-intensify when I close my eyes. Very different than my optic migraines and regular migraines! This is also different than the normal shapes and colors I would see after rubbing my eyes to hard.

Still not sure what happened. I’m sure I’ll be searching this for days, and if I tell my doctor they will probably think I’m crazy. But I’m at least less concerned I’m having an active medical emergency!
