Visual snow/static

Ok, just a quick question.
How many of you experience visual snow/static?
Was it induced by mushroom/acid, etc, or have you had it since you can remember?
Peace out.

It started once i started doing a lot of "drugs" in general. It has gone away now, and I use psychedelics much more then before. I have graduated to more complex forms of HPPD. I think it is a sign of your brain learning to "open up" to interference transmissions(self induced, or received)
I would notice it when I was extremely high, you can literally "see the particles of air" or "energy in the air".
The static IS the veil we try to cross, its garbled transmissions into your brain coming from jumbled signals. Want to make sense outta the static? Gotta tune it to the right station. How do you tune in? DMT.
DMT made me aware of the possibilities of this said static. Once smoked, DMT makes my entire field of vision fill up this this EXACT "static" but to a strong degree. Then, when all I can see is multicolored static particles, complex 3-d geometric object, items, symbols, and entities start to form literally out of the static!
These entities + objects arn't "solid" but are made up of "ether" or these whispy tiny particles of energy. That is why they are everchanging and so beautiful, made out of pure evertransforming energy particles.
The particles are your brains own interpretation of this cosmic energy. Be it straight interference or a conscious energy attempting to contact you. If your instrument is out of tune, you will see static all over the place. Once fine tuned, you can turn this awareness into something amazingly surreal...

since I remember however As a kid in the 50's I went to the hospital a few times & I was subject to opiates maybe 20 times which may have mixed the dream state with the waking state - and that would possibly make me not the norm as a child.

not sure exactly what you are referring to but sometimes when i stand up and walk around (sober) i see randomly moving pixels that are randomly colored. maybe they last for a minute but they seem to be rapidly diffusing as they appear and dont really impair vision after the first second or two. kind of the same stuff you see when you close your eyes tighly and give em a little rubbing.
alternatively, the static/snow on the tv is caused by microwaves (from the creation of the universe, not the warming of pizza bites). that'd be cool to see visually though if you could

I guess it would be hard for people who don't see it to understand what it's like. Basically - try concentrating really hard at a wall and imagine that it is made up of trillions of pixels, very much like looking at a computer screen, but in normal vision.
This image may help you understand - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Visualsnow-80.jpg
I definately notice it more now since I my tripping days, but I hope it will eventually subside as my last trip (ever) was only a month ago. Hardly any time at all in terms of mild HPPD disappearing, true?

I wouldn't stress at all man...
I don't know if\how often you smoke pot, but I know after a month or more of not smoking or taking any psychedelics, eating right, and running, most HPPD tends to go away.
Also, if you just stop noticing, soon enough you will forget to notice. You may be aware of it, but applying focus to it only gives it strength. Just know it will go away, and try to forget it exists.
If you really did have your *last* trip, I would just give it time and exercise... there are great detox diets for your body and specific ones w/ supplements you can do as well for brain and nervous system detoxification and rejuvenation if you are interested or care to know about them.

I've had mild stuff like that since I was a kid. I was more aware of it though after tripping, just because it's easier to perceive things like that after using hallucinogens.
You should check out "Haidinger's brush" for another cool thing our eyes do.

I perceive visual static/snow most often in shadows (or more intensely).
I've come to the belief that people begin to realize things like this after "tripping" more often than any other means because they can think introspectively/outwardly enough to look at their bodies from a "foreign" perspective and realize that things aren't as perfect as we're taught they are. We're still trying to make them some sort of "perfect", but, for example, if you have "visual snow", you realize to live past this "imperfection" and carry on with life.

Ive had them ever since I can remember, audio too if that makes any sense, they seem more pronounced since I started smoking weed and especialy when Im high or on psychedellics.

was thinking about that today actually.
like somebody else said the more you focus on it the more strength you give it.
it it bothers you try things like fish oil and being healthy. lay off the pot too, and it will go away. then in my experience its okay to hit the bong

Wow, I've never heard of anyone having this except me. I've always had it VERY strongly. The static seems to intensify while tripping and go into hi-def. This is really interesting.

Its weird because I was just talking about this with someone today. After tripping a number of times we both agreed that we sometimes have these weird static flashbacks. Out of nowhere it seems like all the static comes out at once, like a glitch in a television screen.

Anyone ever had visual static and noticed it disappear after abstaining from drugs?
It is beginning to piss me off.
