Looking into "Vision"

Ever wondered about unimaginable and unknown things in your dreams ?
Or why do you sometimes feel, after watching something or some person, that you have seen him before ?

Well! I am no psychologist. But I read about peripheral vision in a book, I thought that, this can be useful to all the people.

Now, what is this 'Peripheral Vision' ?

Peripheral vision is a part of vision that occurs outside the very center of gaze.

Let's take a look at the image below.
While gazing at the first word of the text , try to figure out the last word.

You may not be able to know the word but it is still seen by your eye.
While gazing at "Diamond", the word "substance" was under your peripheral vision.

In our eyes, though all the portions of the retina are equally capable but the portion of the retina far from the center are less consciously aware within the mind.

Therefore, our eyes make our mind store a lots of information than we are aware of.
Thus, our mind can manipulate the information that we are not aware of and show it to us in the form of dreams, hallucinations, Deja Vu etc.

Imagine if someone improves his/her peripheral vision, he/she can read a page of text more quickly or go through all the articles in a room at a swifter rate.
In other words, his observation power can increase sharply.

And if someone could use full of his vision, it would be a nearly divine experience.
