Is there a word, possibly even a medical term Wut? to succinctly explain that WEIRD eye feeling... where the eyes feel prickly and slimy? Like the nerves in the eyeballs are microscopic filaments, and then all of a sudden those filaments stand up like goosebumps?

It happens to me with all tryptamines and LSD. I'm specifically asking because I'm wondering if it's a serotonin thing.

It feels distinctly different from the eye jiggles on MDMA. Nystagmus? I think what I'm trying to find the word for is not nystagmus or oscillopsia. Is there anything that physiologically happens with nerves or blood vessels around the eyes, eye pressure?

One time on Ayahuasca I had the very tactile experience of a dragonfly flying out of my pupil and it was while my eyes felt this way. Shocked

“There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work."
― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

Google turned up aeropsia, which is visual snow.

Maybe there isn't a word for weird tactile sensations... if I find one I'll share!

Psychs do all sorts of weird stuff. I, for one, find it really uncomfortable—almost painful, even—to keep my eyes open or my mouth shut during a strong trip. God knows why.

Can't relate to tingly eyeballs, though.
I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want a clever signature.
