Classic psychedelics such as LSD and mushrooms usually only result in visual distortions such as flowing, warping, geometrics and kaleidoscope effects, colour enhancement, pattern recognition, and lyllyptan hallucinations (idk if I spelt that right) etc. They tend to take a visual feed of reality, and then alter it in some way that is seemingly purely distortion. However, during bad trips it's a different story. I have seen hallucinations that were totally different to the regular distortions, as during bad trips for some reason your psychology seems to greatly affect the visuals to look more like complete redesigns of reality as opposed to distortions. I'm not talking about seeing unicorns or demons or shit (although I've heard that can happen). What I mean is that people (for me it tends to be just people rather than inanimate objects) take on a form that isn't just a geometric misrepresentation of reality, it seems like an entirely new reality altogether. For example, I've had bad trips where people start looking quite cartoony in shocking ways . Specific examples: a friend's head morphing into a rats head. A girl I don't know started looking like Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad. Another friend turning into an elf. Another friend looking like the Joker, this time. Sometimes they turn into completely different characters or creatures, sometimes they just appear as a mythical alter ego of themselves. For some reason, thjs doesn't always apply to everyone around me. E.g. During a bad trip at a festival once, some of my friends looked like people regularly do on psychedelics, just messed up faces and warping mouths and eyes etc. While other friends had no visual distortions, as in their faces and bodies were totally clear, they just looked different. It looks very very real but at the same time cartoony as hell. It always looks very cool, honestly I'm blown away, even in the depths of nightmarish misery and paranoia of the bad trip , I still have to stop and think to myself "holy shit this is cool". Does anyone else get this kind of hallucinations on a bad trip? Is there any way I can get it to happen in a good trip?
My own theory is that the reason this kind of hallucination occurs during a bad trip is because your mind is in such a state of anxiety that it starts to interfere with the visuals in your chemically potentiated brain. Therefore it requires extreme states of psychological stimulation to achieve it. So my guess is that the only way to achieve such mind blowing visuals without having a bad bad trip, is to have a trip that instead of being extremely terrifying, is extremely euphoric. Like the happiest trip ever. Dont know how to achieve that though lol
