Function of Pupil Dilation ?

I know why mushrooms and hallucinogenics cause pupil dilation, but I noticed something today while staring in the mirror- Sober...
As I stare into my own eyes, with the light shining into them too, my pupils remain quite small. Although, the more I stare through my pupils and into the darkness of the insides of my eye, the more I see into myself. The more I try to dive through the mirror, through my pupils, and into myself, the more my pupils dilate- Even with the bright light shining into my eyes.
I can effectively control the dilation of my pupils by how much I 'open' my mind to myself it seems... Does this work for anyone else? And has it been proved that mind expansion has any correlation with how dilated your pupils get?
Sometimes when SWIM is tripping on mushrooms, if his trip is dull and not profound, no matter how many mushrooms SWIM took, his eyes won't get TOO dilated. But when SWIM eats just a few mushrooms, but has some extremely profound mind opening experiences, his pupils enlarge beyond beleif.

Sympathetic & Parasympathetic nervous system.
EDIT: One of the perks of taking pysch is when we discuss psychoactive drugs.

Someone Who Isn't Me. like "A friend of mine..." I find it all rather silly. 
Interesting thing about the pupils...

Someone Who Isn't Me
It's a safety precaution that is required on some other forums when discussing matters of legal question. It is, however, not required on the Shroomery but people may choose to use it for personal reasons.

Interesting you point this out... I noticed this phenomenon on LSD a little over a week ago.
I've noticed it more with LSD than with mushrooms, which seem to put my head in a constant state of psychedelic ideation (which then comes with the standard constantly-dilated pupils). LSD's psychedelic ideation seems to come in waves, with correspondingly dilated pupils.

Yeah, its just your nervous system adapting to the situation.
I will even explain it to you, the sympathetic is enabled during stress which is dilated pupils, increased heart rate/breathing, inhibits digestive tract/sexual arousal/salivary gland, relaxed bladder,
The parasympathetic does the opposite in order to come back to baseline.
