Used to take quite high doses of LSD, and often had incredible visual hallucinations. Things like watching a large plant sprout flower buds all over it, which slowly expanded to full bloom and then retreated back to small buds; the whole experience went on like that for 20 minutes. Another time I hallucinated that a neighbor's house was on fire, until my friend said she was hallucinating the same thing. Fortunately, the fire brigade showed up quickly to quench the very real flames, without us having to ring them.

- PartiallyTyped 2y agoThere's something about digital pictures that escapes the visuals.
- dymk 2y agoI dunno about that, everything turns into a wildly animated gif when I’m tripping
- LoganDark 2y agoi had a friend who told me that on high enough doses every picture becomes like a movie, you can just stare into it and imagine that whole world

- LoganDark 2y ago> You don’t need acid for that. Just imagination. That was my first entertainment as a child. While I'm on LSD it looks like any picture/art/etc is literally alive. I don't really know how to explain it. > But LSD and related psychedelics are uniquely able to help one reconnect with that part of themselves. LSD absolutely helps me reconnect with many parts of myself. I have dissociative identity disorder and certain memories or even certain perspectives of memories can only be recalled when I'm on LSD.
- ForTheKidz 2y agoI have the opposite problem: i try to watch scripted entertainment and all I see are actors in makeup on a set. Very hard for me to immerse myself when I keep getting distracted by bad wigs.
- theshackleford 2y agoThis happens to me on any amount of cannabis for some reason. It becomes immediately clear in a way I can not shake. It breaks the illusion. It only happens with live action, I can watch animation etc without issue.
- dylan604 2y agountil you hit the generative AI camera mode because, well, you're tripping, and it hears your description of the fire and adds flames to your image. In the words of Neo, "whoa!"

- hhh 2y agoit’s a great trick and even some schizophrenic people can use cameras to ground themselves. I trust the computer, and it will never lie to me.
- itsmemattchung 2y agoHoly hell that was hilarious. I can totally see that happening: "Hey, I'm hallucinating that that house is on fire." "Whoa, me too." ...
