Yellow/beige/brown spheres for me as well. Other commenter had spheres also. I never even thought that this might be something others experienced. Sadly, trying to find more information on this only delivers "dream interpretation" BS content. For me, the feeling of dread did not come from me "having to move spheres but not being able to" however. It came from "knowing that these spheres will be moving no matter what I do", but they would be moving "infinitely slowly", like one of those optical illusions [1] where things seem to move but they're not actually.

That optical illusion gave me a hint of the original feeling. On my drug trips it was also highly correlated with a spinning or vibrating sensation, which also seems somewhat present in that illusion. There's something really interesting here about this shared type of experience that many people are reporting. All a bit different, but a very similar feeling. I feel like others online must have discussed this type of thing before, but I've also come up short when searching it. How do you even describe it or name it in such a way that is searchable? Has anyone come up with a name for it? Now I kind of want to post this on Reddit or something to find more people with this experience, and maybe see if anyone has a name for it. I've never done Salvia, but the descriptions I read about it from people remind me of this feeling as well. They often talk about a wheel and spinning movement and dread.

  I was a lucid dreamer. Many things mentioned in this thread overlap with my experience, especially hypnagogia [0] (tingling, vibrations, spinning etc.) while attempting to lucid dream with a WILD (Wake-Induced Lucid Dream) technique. Lucid dreaming is totally learnable but internet is full of clickbait scammers. I can recommend reliable sources to learn if anyone wants.
