The "entity" encounters I've experienced involve so much more than just visually seeing some "thing" though. It is much more than just a surreal trippy image that develops out of some stimuli or the layering of stimuli.
Last time I tripped I was on some mescaline, LSD, and mushrooms....I was having some gnarly visuals and I could totally see the stacking/layering and feedback occurring within the visuals, I've been aware of and have observed this many times over the years (even when sober or slightly stoned I can observe it happening when starring at a single point for a long period of time)...The visuals were actually quite reminiscent of those neural network visuals/google deep dream, very similar to that, all sorts of things were forming within the visuals but I could tell it was purely a product of "my mind" projecting.
With an "entity" encounter.....It's an entire ordeal that occurs for me. IME it is not merely seeing something in the visuals and then being like, "Hey look, an entity".....It's a full on situation that goes down. There is an interaction/encounter that happens and for me it usually doesn't take place in the typical space of 3 dimensions and time is usually non-existent when it occurs, I feel like I "pop" into a different space most of the time and not aware of or connected to the space that my physical body resides in.
And there's usually an intense buzzing/increasing in the frequency of my mind/consciousness that builds up in intensity and amplitude that leads up to "entity" encounters.
Really hard to explain and convey in language.
It never happens in the middle of a trip when I'm just casually tripping, it never just randomly occurs...I have to slam my brain with a rapid deluge of DMT, or eat a massive amount of mushrooms. DMT is the one that tends to do it though. And I've only had a small handful of experiences with "entities", it's not a common thing for me.
But I don't get hung up on the whole "are the entities real or not" thing, I don't really approach it or think about it in those terms, either way it doesn't change anything about the experiences I've had ....but the experiences sure have given me a lot of food for thought and things to think about in regards to the mind/consciousness/"reality".
