Normal: We all have some floaters in our eyes. If you look at the clear sky you will see the same. If the floaters become bigger or more numerous, or you see flashes of light or a curtain like feeling on vision, see your eye doctor immediately. See this site for more info. http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/eye-floaters/basics/definition/CON-20033061

Eye vessels: You are observing a normal phenomenon. The sudden and angular input of light when you wake up gives you a chance to see your blood vessels in the back of the eye which you normally do not see.
