Strange thoughts

This is one of those, "has anyone ever felt this?" sort of posts
So for a while I have felt like my "optical-framrate" was not exactly normal...
That is to say that for some odd reason, I feel like my mind processes visual information at a slightly slower/faster rate than "normal."
I have been suspicious of this ever since I took mushrooms and experienced a "different" framerate; while I was high I felt like I could process all the information from my eyes automatically, which in turn led to a very comfortable feeling.
After I came down, it was back to the old unfocused eyes with choppy vision...
but get this, I just finished playing super smash brothers right? specifically super fast mode, and then, super slow mode... for about ten minutes I have the same feeling with my vision that I had that one time on shrooms...
what the hell is going on?
I know this is really weird, just wondering if I am alone in feeling this...

So are you saying that your eye-brain-thought relationship is sometimes fast and sometimes slow and you can actually feel the difference?

yes, 
at least I think I can... I think anyone who has been clinically diagnosed with add or some other attention disorder will know what I am talking about... its almost like tunnel vision except the area outside the tunnel isnt black but just out of focus.
for my vision the area of focus is very narrow. except when I use shrooms, this area grows, and I can actually process all the information
and my vision doesnt seem... choppy?

This sounds like you got an acute case of peripheral vision syndrome. I think your vision is broken.

i think it has something to do with the fact on psychedelics your mind/environment become more fused - it's as if i'm thinking while experiencing my whole environment at once. like hyper-thinking or something. once you get into this mode on acid it feels very flowing, and things start coming up. but if i re-focus my attention i can sort of re-set this whole process and my 'normal' way of thinking takes over. this normal thinking is kind of like what you mean by tunnel vision... you sort of bring all your attention onto a singular object or thought. once again, you can repeat the previous process by sort of not thinking about anything in particular - let go of everything - and the process takes over and it feels like you are percieving everything at once..... the mind starts to flow, your conciousness sort of 'floats' around
and in my experinces this has a lot to do with your vision and how you look at an object. gazing at something and letting it transfigure before your eyes is a way of describing it.
the more i've done acid, and the more i meditate in between my trips, the more i can take advantage of this on a regular basis. meditating becomes more intense and interesting. what you do with these 'powers' you have is up to you, really. you can even ignore them and carry on with other things, but in that case this is when your mind takes reality and splits it into parts so you can understand. this is our 'waking reality'.
interesting stuff. hope this makes sense to someone, i tried to explain things from my point of view. but i know that this occurs to everyone... maybe this is what you're talking about

I do feel like when I sort of "let go" of everything that my mind begins to take everything in... and when I try and grip reality I become fixated on one particular thing... that's when I lose the ability to notice stuff outside of my focus...
I guess what I feel when I am high is the ability to truly just flow along, I lose the fear of missing something if I am not focused.
its a relaxing feeling.

I know EXACTLY what you mean... it's very hard to put into words, but I too, after discovering mj, became more aware of my visual framerate.

YES!!!! Coaster its Faint, but its fucking there YOU see it!!! Perhaps we are both on some sort of unusual wave length associated with unusual neuro-transmitters, mind expansion white light, or something we can not even begin to understand or fathom to conceive because it is a gift of insight or a curse given to us by powers beyond our control, something we are not meant to know."

dxm strobe vision is the shit!
but i don't think thats what they're talking about.
yes i get "faster framerate" on mushrooms too.
psychedelics made me much more sensitive to light, so now sometimes i interpret different lighting as being different mental framerates, which isn't true... its annoying, especially with flourescent lighting.

I once read that mushrooms increase your mental speed.
So say you process things at a given sober rate... time passes by at its "normal" rate because of this. You notice the passage of time at its sober rate is much faster than when you're high on shrooms. So, say you can have 10 thoughts in 1 second sober... take mushrooms and you double that or whatever... that means in one second you have the feeling of two seconds going by... when only a single second has elapsed...
this still doesnt really get to the core of visual framerates...
perhaps I need to get a gui mod for my eyes... something that tells my FPS and packet loss

I get frame skips when I'm under the influence of mushrooms. And I did notice some minor hallucinations while sober. Things moving around real quick just life if I skipped a frame. Nothing really dangerous tho, just a bit annoying.
