Was just thinking about this from the last time I did shrooms my whole friend group were stuck staring at the floor because there were incredibly complex geometric visuals all over the floor ?

here’s how i’ve explained it to people:

Shrooms and other psychedelics will make you see ‘motion blur’ due to a miriade of chemical triggers. While you’re seeing motion blur, your mind is also hyper interpreting patters. So now, your motion blur might take on a color, and now you see auras. Or perhaps your motion blur is fixed on a flat surface. So your brain sees the textures of the surface as liquid (or fractals) moving behind the surface.

In my own personal case of LSD, i constantly see ‘eyes’ which, i think is mainly the brain being hyper trained to notice human features. So the motion blur, and curves all start to form eyes, and makes me think ‘the earth is watching me’.
