Visualising, how to? Options

I've been wondering what to explain to myself really. When we are born we know nothing about using the mind, as we grow older we visualize certain things. It's all there when we need it, we just have to want to do so. Although thats the basic stuff really. For example if anyone else see's this stuff or not I have no idea, asked a friend and mother and they dont seem to do so, but it's what I would call the spiritual, scientists probably think of it as dark matter, it's the gray bitty stuff that reminds me of dust. I know it's different for everyone but those who are born spiritually aware would have it there. Saying that though, if anyone has been to the etheric then they would also see this other stuff almost twinkling in the sunlight, colord blue white and yellow. It's down to perception of reality, most people only have the basics, what you see when you remember, has anyone else noticed a flat color border around their memory window?

What do you see though and how would you go about visualising something in that space / with it?

Well, first I should ask then, while in the trance state, were your eyes opened or closed? The state that I referred to in the last post occurs while in a closed-eyed meditation, which is a normal occurance for everyone. Yet at times I've come to see certain light movements and such with my eyes opened. I suppose the only way to explain it is when you have one of those times where you're with friends and you see something out of the corner of your eye, and you're like "what was that?" and nobody else sees it? Yet when I meditate, I tend to see multiple different colors, but green/ red and blue are the most common for me, I'm not sure if it would be the same for everyone else. They tend to be long lines that sway, bend, and curve randomly. GIve your experiences also if you want, it might help me understand better.
