This sub reddit has a lot of examples of people trying to recreate what they saw while tripping. There are some pretty good examples: https://www.reddit.com/r/replications https://www.reddit.com/r/replications Also, I don’t know how true this is, but I’ve heard that some of the hallucinations you see on psychedelics are signals/noise your brain normally filters out, but stops getting filtered during the trip. I believe the context was for so called “sacred geometry”. For example, if you look up the “flower of life”, this is a pattern people regularly see while tripping and it’s one I saw myself the first time I took shrooms.

Yeah! There's evidence for a reduction of the brain's normal input-filtering processes that I alluded to in the parent post. As Huxley says, 'the doors of perception are opened' These two articles discuss in more detail some of the biological/neurological correlates for the types of patterns seen during psychedelic experiences. Some of the pictures of retinal structure etc are pretty eye opening (hah): https://www.quantamagazine.org/a-math-theory-for-why-people-hallucinate-20180730/ https://www.quantamagazine.org/a-math-theory-for-why-people-... https://plus.maths.org/content/uncoiling-spiral-maths-and-hallucinations https://plus.maths.org/content/uncoiling-spiral-maths-and-ha...
