It's quite a common thing for me to do this, even though it may look as if I'm crazy. I've been noticing it since a long time now. I think I first saw the layer when I was once rubbing my eyes, I was probably 4 or 5. But I didn't understand what it was until I was about 10.
Here is how to see the layer. First close one eye and then place your finger right in front of the other open eye. You wil see that there is a layer around your finger which is transparent. And you will also see that looking thru that layer the object which you look at (say a staircase railing) will get desorted (it will seem to bend) Now this is the same thing that happens when a very heavy object such as the sun bends the fabric of space-time. The only thing is that it is easier to see the layer and the disortion if u have glasses (spectacles), so u would like to take them off before trying this.
