Effects from drugs or something else?

I just got a little question about how I perceive things in my field of vision. Everything seems to almost always be "melting into itself". It's like everything is pixelated and it's especially noticeable when I'm outside. Say I look up into the sky and then down at a tree in the horizon or something, everything in my field of vision will flow like an ocean downwards, like all the pixels just drop a couple degrees until I see the tree. These pixels of light floating around the air also move and swirl around.
Is this like some kind of HPPD or vitamin deficiency? I'm not complaining, it's pretty cool, but I don't think it's normal

Yeah it's like you closed your eyes for 30 seconds and opened them, except it's always going on.
If I didn't know any better ( ) I'd say that sometimes it seems like the things in front of me are about to rip apart and I'm about to see something "real",

Yeah I always thought it was a drug thing, most "normal" people I describe this too have none of these 'symptoms'.

one thing ive noticed since i have started doing hallucinogens is that every once in a while (and i mean a while, like maybe once every month or two) i will see metallic deformations in my vision. like if my entire field of view was a flat screen, and someone poked it from the other wide with a very thin stick.
theyre like tiny little convex bulges in my vision that look like theyre made of mercury, and around the edges of them i see all the colors of the rainbow. and they move around rather rapidly in no definite pattern. just like theyre bubbles of mercury floatin around in my field of view.
when i see them, id say theres maybe 50 in my field of view. and they usually last for about 30 seconds. when i first notice them i always seem to space out, because they catch me off guard and i stare at them for a second. then i realize whats going on and i look around to see everything with the little metallic bubbles transposed upon it.
it happened last week when i was taking a shower.

I've had them all the time since I was like 16 (the beginning).
I hardly even do drugs anymore.

Read Doors of Perception if you havn't. I think I've read it 5-6 times and I'm still amazed by the stuff Huxley suggests. Perception is a complete illusion, forced on us by a necessity to survive. Basically we are perceiving everything in the Universe at an instant, everything that has ever happened or could ever happen. It wouldn't be possible to function with such things going on however, so therefor our brain acts as a filter, and we're getting the watered down version of reality.
Reality is an illusion, albeit a very persistent one - Einstein

I'm inclined to say it's HPPD. I had something like that for a while and it seemed to go away after about a year of psychedelic abstinence.
But I'd also to point out that the sense of sight is a tricky thing and most of the fidelity you think you can perceive is actually an array of smoke and mirror tricks carried out by the brain itself. I know I had my vision play some VERY bizarre tricks on me before I ever touched anything hallucinogenic.

It's a weird feeling figuring out that everything you have ever experienced was in essence, an illusion.
IDK how people don't totally lose it upon realizing this.
