hello everyone, ive posted here a few times but now have the time to get something out of my mind.

ive been experimenting with psychedelics for almost a decade now. i have ingested a fair amount of shrooms, many different doses, lsd, same deal. dmt(alot) and some nbomes. but for the past few years, i think the trips have been burnt into my vision,

first it started with a visual snow in darkness, blotting out everything not in direct light. then the snow translated into daylight, moving and swirling, its most notable in the sky. oevs almost always there now, moving dots that a barley there. to sometimes driving home from work and noticing the sky swirling with colors and sometimes fractals. strong trails off everything. almost all the time

and for the cevs that are present thruout the day but most noticable at night. fractals mostley but sometimes before bed i get the triptamine buzz and i can see lights comeing towards me and it all feels very pre breakthrough dmt hits. i can focus on it from time to time and almost control it.

it dosnt disturb or interfere with anything i do, but im curious does anyone else have this.
its like a permanent dmt afterglow but if i really focus on it, it seems to go stronger

Could it be this?

those two images are spot on to the snow and the sky that i see, i didnt know about hppd ill have to look into that more, i personally enjoy it i guess

IMO it has to do with having expanded awareness and having the auto-ability to percieve things that are mch too fleeting for most people to percieve.(the spiritual realm)

Some people freak out about it and lose there marbles..I personally feel like it gives me a perceptual advantage, it's all in how you look at it I suppose.

Interesting:...
I've always viewed 'reality' through a mild 'visual snow' as if reality is overlayed on a field of minuscule yellow/blue dots fizzing away like a TV channel (un-tuned), much more noticeable in the dark with eyes closed...mostly my brain 'tunes' it out until I focus on it.
I can force mild hyperspacial imagery (in a hexagonal spaced vortex from the centre) though closed eyes.

I always assumed that this was the electrical/visual feedback from the thousands of 'rods' and 'cones' of my retina being interpreted by the visual cortex...!
Or how the 3rd eye is perceived by the brain...
Although it doesn't 'swirl' hallucinagenically (is that a word?), it is always present...

I can also 'see',(out of focus) tiny 'lights' squiggling through my vision....these are blood cells flowing through capillaries in my eyeball...I get transfixed by these sometimes..

I just thought that was 'Normal'....maybe not though!

I've also suffered from 'Scintillating Scotoma' after prolonged GHB/MDMA use....but that another story...very freaky symptoms...although pleasant in a 'psychedelic sort of way'.

Sounds like your thing is more 'pronounced' due to overuse of psychs....perhaps time for a break for a while and see if it goes away..?
Or more likely...get an Optimlogist to check out your retinas...could be a precurser to some kind of premature eye problem...

I see fractals and the visual snow every night before going to sleep, its a state of consciousness that is the transition between being awake and being asleep its called Hypnagogia But not usually during the day.

Do you smoke/use cannabis? Cannabis gives me some trails and visual snow, some CEVs that are colors swirling or 2d fractals, as well as increased pattern recognition. I didn't really ever notice these myself until after I had become very experienced in psychedelics.

If your eyesight is fading it could also be random firing of synapses in your visual cortex.

Accessing the higher realms and seeing these things without ingesting any substances? Sounds familiar....

Its all explainable by science. Totally nothing to do with naturally rising consciousness.

Dont explore and develop it, its just a bunch of big words doing strange things in your thinking parts.

If I knew what I was talking about, I would tell you that

But I dont. So I am not

like pixel play aye

and what about true floaters the ones you cant blink away

It's nothing supernatural... you have a case of hppd that's all. Nothing mystical about it.

Keep in mind that blue-field floaters (the swirling you see when looking at the sky) are a totally normal visual phenomenon.

I am very skeptical of any self-diagnoses of HPPD. I think a lot of it has to do with folks who trip often becoming aware of very normal visual disturbances (floaters, bright lights in relative darkness leaving trails, etc) that most people unconsciously learn to ignore.

wow i love the responses, i feel alittle more enlighted on the subject. thanks abunch guys.

also i do use cannabis but not when it gets coolder, cant stand the cold yo. and if anything i feel like i notice less while cannabising, like i zone out and forget its there, although i do imagine if i focused on it while smoking it would became more pronouced, ill have to see about that.

also i do occasional get the floaters i can blink away i feel like those are just like gross eye gunk things lol

but id like to think or confirm it really is my third eye tearing apart reality and showing my what the universe is really all about

have a good journey everyone. i am

Well, human cellular automata is fractal in nature, so even if one is simply perceiving flicker phosphenes, if these phosphenes result in being consequently fractal, then studying them may give you insights on a fractal universe in which they are perceived.

I get all of this, every day, all the time!

hell yeah sky motion

I never done anything execept weed, but I have it aswell. The static, also the moving, clockwise interlocking melting pattern in the sky also in ambient light. also see lines glowing, sometimes I notice spots that first glow then a dark spot appears(as if the spot just appeared out of nothing). Some stuff even seems to glow in the dark. Like being in a white room, the static becomes more and more all the time.

I dont mind at all really, but for an unwilling person it might be of concern.

I dont think the psychedelics has burned your eyes

I have this in a much milder variation. I always perceive a film brain, but I already had that before I started doing psychedelics. However, it has grown much stronger over the course of the past year. The film grain is more present and at times I see really weird things happen for a split second before returning to normal. I've seen lamps make a quick spin around their axis and then pretend nothing happened.

When I close my eyes I quite often see fractals, lines or other very faint CEVs. When I rub my eyes, apply pressure to my eye balls or sometimes at random intervals when I blink I see an explosion of fractals/colors (CEVs) that quickly dissipate.

I don't mind, it makes life more interesting. I think the girl from Neurosoup claimed to have HPPD and it took her a year of abstinence to make it go away to a level where she no longer noticed it.

The "Static" thing makes me wonder if maybe you guys are just seeing through the holographic nature of things.

Holographic Universe Theory

"The Fermilab physicist Craig Hogan claims that the holographic principle may imply quantum fluctuations in spatial position that would lead to apparent background noise or holographic noise measurable at gravitational wave detectors"

Try this
People refer to this as the morph. If you practice the technique of 'soft eyes' which is basically standing/sitting two meters from a wall(or whatever works best for yourself), and staring at the space between you and the wall. Those 'yellow/blue dots'

Try it, and you will eventually see a 'mist' that falls down, described as 'dry rain' Its quite hard to stay concentrated on this mist.
Keep practicing and you will see swirls and movement, and eventually fractuals. Get pro at it and you'll be in a complete trance state world seeing entities and such

Also simply try this 'dry eyes' technique on a nice sunny blue sky. Look at the sky and use this soft eyes technique. You will see tiny balls of light, that move in and out, dodging each other acting as they are conscious. This is not 'floaters' maybe some other eye condition or something else

This morph is and will eventually become easier to see. This is my opinion and opinion of others on this subject

Nice one WS...gonna get into this...
Isn't it fun Playing with your Mind?


Although the older I get the more Floaters I see...seriously annoying little buggers

I reckon
Floaters suck!
