tunnels of light

Tunnels of light are visual phenomena where bright, beam-like structures appear to extend outward or inward, often seen in artistic representations or during certain optical or atmospheric conditions. They can also relate to metaphors for near-death experiences, describing visions of entering a luminous passage. In science, they are sometimes associated with light reflecting or refracting through environments like tunnels, optical fibers, or atmospheric conditions. Essentially, these tunnels are patterns created by light's behavior—such as bending, scattering, or reflection—that produce the impression of a corridor of glowing light.
