While it’s cool to see this, if you’ve been to DMT hyperspace you know it’s indescribable. Impossible to put into words, explain or visualize.

  Possible to put in words, slightly possible to explain to experiencer of other psychedelic substances, and theoretically possible to somewhat visualise but not as a picture, better as a filter being capable to distort a video stream. And it is definitely not a hyperspase but a kind of deprivation which works significantly better if user manages not to go into sleeping while being under influence.

  Just what I was going to say, not to mention the profound personal internal aspect of this experience. Those who focus on the fractals miss the point and the work that can be done while in that hyperspace.

p.s. What happens when you feed artificial intelligence thousands of psychedelic images? They make machine elves, of course.

  Yes, although it's no substitute for the real thing.

Try to generate Alcohol visuals first.

  Blurring and seeing double? Has this not been done?

I can see these types of fractals when I wake up early in the dark and turn on a bright light followed by pressure to the eye. It’s essentially some type of coordinate system built into us for understanding physical aspects of the world around us (depth, size, etc.)

  You turn on a bright light from the dark and immediately start rubbing your eyes and you see this type of visuals? Is that an accurate enough description to replicate?

    I see the concentric grid lattice for a split second.

    I can get in this state too, Lightheaded helps, worn out helps, tired eyes from looking at a screen helps. Then for some immediate relief, I will squeeze my nose bridge from the eye socket from both sides. And in that moment of relaxation, I will see stars. Probably from starting to breath slower, it's a lack of oxygen caused faintness, then the light and fractals and patterns come in. If I relax, and dont blink, just chill, they will slowly grow larger. Blink or stop focusing and it goes away. I think it has something to do with the liquid environment of the eye, and how tired and watery it can be. Squeezing that water away to another part seems to short circuit the eye and give fuzzy electrical sparks and fractal patterns.

A more authentic approach is what DeepDream did: tweaking the different layers and toying with weights. Bit like what actual drugs do to the brain. Not look at a bunch of Alex Grey art.
