Seeing Patterns when Awakening at night

[LAB60]

Upon awakening at night, I see a grid pattern, black, once red,   The size of the grid can be a small spot on the ceiling or becomes larger and covers the whole ceiling.  The tv is on and provides some light in the room.  After blinking a few times, the pattern goes away.   The pattern is more frequent and has increased in size over the past year.  The eye dr. said he never heard of anyone seeing this and felt there was no retina detachment.

And I was dumbing down ;-). but the point is somehow, this sort of disturbance is much more tolerable when you have a realistic explanation for it, at least I hope so :-)
I'm also trying not to keep a log of how bad it is, or when I see it, in an attempt to get used to it, and start ignoring.  It took me over a year to get used to varifocals, and on a bad day I'm still unbalanced by them, but it does get better.  Last year I could not have born hearing it would take so long!

Yes. I did not word it properly.

Light exists simultaneously in both a wave form and a particle form. In 2015 it was photographed as such see this article  http://phys.org/news/2015-03-particle.html

This reminds me of Young's slit experiment from physics class. It proves that light is made of waves and not particles.
