ImperialCactus said: I've noticed something kind of like this recently. You know the effect you get when looking at something bright, like the sun or a picture flash... that sort of shadow-like afterimage that stays in your focal point for a bit. Well, it seems that whenever I change focus quickly and it's to something either brighter or darker than before, I get that effect. Except it only lasts for about a second and takes up more of my vision, kind of like a subtle shadow-flash sort of thing.

Yep, that's exactly what i'm talking about... cool picture too, forgot about that one. In fact, i'm getting that effect pretty bad right now because it's extremely bright outside with all this snow. Can be fun but mostly just distracting.

i see colors in pitch blackness after using psychedelics. funny huh? good to hear it is common.
by the way... i wonder how much data this site has collected on psychedelic drug users over the years? it is a very good study of us as a population. i hope someone is writing a report on it with good reviews of us haha.

These are pretty cool illusions in the same vein.


Was that first one Dennis Hopper?

It depends on the substance. On LSD I'll see outlines of weird geometric shapes and they'll tend to float around and change shape.
On Mescaline it's weird. I'll always see people walking around, or animals.
It's always crazy regardless

my friend claims to see "static" in the sky after taking acid.
I've always seen it there, though. Maybe you guys just noticed it the first time after

When I was a kid, I used to close my eyes and watch the patterns every night. I would see all kinds of complex and colorful machines made out of gears and sprockets. Its only after tripping that I started to do that again.

Hmm... How was the paint chip situation around your house?

Just kidding. But, would this be after running, or expending energy (endorphins), or what do you think was the reason for the visuals?

I have never seen just pitch black. As far as I can remember, even being in a crib, I have always seen those undefinable visuals in the darkness. This is greatly enhanced for me by prolonged pupil dilation, for instance, once the night after I took a lot of triple C my pupils were really dilated and the visuals were much more vibrant and noticeable. Generally, though, I don't think they have increased since I began using psychedelics.

This is a pretty interesting topic. As far as I can remember, crazy patterns only came from rubbing my eyes.
If kids today are seeing fractals, I'd think about checking the city water.
Does fluoride have some barely noticeable effects that nobody bothered mentioning because they were so slight and took so long to present themselves?
I wonder what kind of creatures we will be after 200 years of hormonal milk, chemical water, cloned meat, and genetically modified vegetables. How much garbage can we take?

But, did you see them before you tripped? And, do you always see them now?
