5 year old seeing things

[mygirls172]

My almost 5 year old daughter had been saying she is seeing things!  She says they are shapes.  All different colors.  All over, all the time.  She sees them on things, in the air....  At first she had told me of this about 2 months ago at bed time so I thought she was only seeing "them" at night.  At thought probably shadows or lights of some effect.  But, just 2 weeks ago she brought it up again and said that she sees "them" all day long....day/night it didn't matter...all the time.  And then I asked her "are they colored spots"  She say "no, they are shapes, toys!  I said "toys what do you mean"  and she sincerely told me she sees things all over.  All different things.  On things, floating...everywhere, all day long!!!  I asked her to draw them and she drew clusters of circles different sizes.  She then got frustrated and said that she wanted to go to sleep because at least when she closes her eyes they go away.  Help!  
I'm not sure what step to take here.  I know it's something because she is very sincere and wants me to help her but sadly I don't know what to do.  I took her to a eye Dr..  He said her eyes were fine.  I thought it might be an eye problem!  He seemed to think not to much of it, which in turn really frustrates me.  I know my daughter and this, this is something...what to do?

Take her to a Neurolgist for kids

She needs to see a eye dr and neuropsychologist thus is very abnormal

I could "see the air" as a child. It turns out that I'm very sensitive to various types of energies. I would lose sleep at night most of my childhood because the energy in the dark was much more
"interactive" than the rainbow colored ones of the day.It's the gift of being able to communicate with part of our  universe and it starts like any other close friendship... visual recognition of each  others existence.
I still can't stand being in total darkness as an adult and I can't tolerate much sunlight either. I've experienced strange "paranormal" activity most of my life. I can feel others emotions and have been called an empath.My youngest daughter also sees air and feels others and can approach many wild animals without them fearing her or without them becoming aggressive. Your children may be gifted. I wouldn't interfere at all. .unless its harmful to them. They should grow out of the fascination with their new view of the world as they mature and realize that it's something very personal that some people can't understand.
I don't know the medical terms for our "condition" but it's valid. Everyone close to us acknowledges it and recognizes it as some type of gift.
They are young and like every growing child they are in awe of new discoveries as they grow. It just so happens that this is not something that every person has the privilege of discovering,so many are inclined to assume something is wrong,when actually,these children are more complete in their humanity than most.
A lot of times they're extremely in their behavior.. either very quiet and timid or over passionate and outspoken ,expecting too much righteousness from others.
Watching these children develop is an amazing experience.

Hi Dreamy172 did you find an answer to your question. My 5 year old daughter says the exact same for the past few week.

You could get your daughter tested for Synesthesia, but research it first to see if she has the same symptoms.

This sounds like temporal lobe seizures we see and hear things that are not really their

[RockRose]

This sounds like temporal lobe epilepsy maybe.  You can google that - it causes all kinds of misperceptions,  visual,  auditory,  taste,  sound,  etc.  

Does she literally see them all day long,  continuously,  with no breaks or does she see them in episodes many times a day?

[Rachael1967]

Was with thinking very same thing I got this with bipolar and ADHD and spd and ptsd it's treatable with essential oils plus I take seizure medication as well daily
