Hi Tess,
They're certainly orbs but not anything ghostly just light refracting off something, possibly dust, which is very close to the camera lens. You've not posted enough background details to the photo but I can see there's a strong light source coming in from possibly a window which combined with the angle of the camera relative to it is causing the unusual illumination of the dust or whatever it is.

I too have had this happen in pictures.
I tend to agree with DB on this one. |

I don't think these are orbs. Looks like dust to me. Thanks for sharing though. |

Im willing to bet £5 that seconds before you took the picture, you had just sat down or just got up from the bed/chair/beanbag(?) disturbing the dust and sending it into the air. |

I don't think there's any doubt that this is dust. However for those not fully convinced or anyone wanting a detailed explanation from the experts:
