Couldn't decide between PD, BDD or what so I'll put it here...
Okay so basically, Everywhere I look i see these little, almost invisible, wavelenghts.
I say wavelengths because I can see a very translucent curved line right beside a dark curved line (like the crest and trough of a wave)
Some follow a straight-ish line while others almost meet at the ends to make a circle
There is a decent amount of them, say ~20, at any given time.

Its not really bothersome, just really strange.

Was wodnering if anyone else experiences this or if theres a name for it? I should note its been like this for a good 3-4 months straight.
 
It sounds possibly something like HPPD (I thinK)

I too had something similar to this, after taking morning glory seeds (just the once too) and I would also see patterns flowing whenever I looked at certain objects, the same patterns I saw whilst high on the stuff...very strange... but it did go away after a few months....

anyways.....I hope it goes away for you too... mine did with time and abstience :)
 
Not eye floaters, too regular in following outlines.

The back part of your brain is a bio-image-processing computer, performing all sorts of border extractions, outline following, angle calculation, vertical and horizontal flagging, color area determination, etc etc (data that is passed on to brain centers that integrates the modified retinal images and these analytics with memories and emotions and then sends to result to the cerebelum for "visual perception" as percieved by consciousness... these are some of the data that psychedelics perturb in the process hallucinogenesis [het cool new word, huh?... um: Copyright 2011 Dwayne Hoover haha). Anyway, those lines you see are just artifacts of all this processing that sometimes ones brain starts to "notice" instead of filtering out like normal... not sure if that qualifies as HPPD. Stop thinking about them and paying attention to them, which is just training yourself to notice them more and more. Ignore them and they'll go away sooner or later, kinda like you become accustomed to a scratch on the lens of your glasses and stop noticing it... IF you "allow" yourself to quit noticing it and start filtering it again.
 
I know what you mean OP. I see them also while sober. First I thought they were
eye floaters. Then I thought of HPPD.

But 3 weeks ago, I had a 6-APB trip and in the middle of it I smoked some bowl.
After that I was lying on the bed looking at a white wall. Slowly these "energy waves" got more into my focus and I could clearly see them now.... like a transparent curtain which is infront of the wall. Then I looked everywhere else, but the curtain remaind the same, with the rotating wheels(looked like windmills) and waves of curved lines running through the "screen". Each part of this curtain, was like a single scanner of the world which were put together to form the "cognition scanner(filter)"

2 Days after that trip, I found this thread:

Maybe it's really just HPPD, but everytime I meditate while being sober, I notice them even more.

^this is 100% truth.

I do not experience HPPD, but i know exactly what DH here is talking about. The most noticeable time I find this "backprocessing" intrudes on normal vision is if I defocus my eyes while staring across a busy street. I do not follow cars with my eyes, so they simply cross in from of my vision from left to right or right to left. The effect is best noticed on bright cloudy days (uniform gray lighting common to Seattle) with a dark-colored car. As the car passes in front of me, it leaves a very noticeable tracer or dark shadow that is not exactly car-shaped directly behind it. the car has to be going fast enough for the shadow to be long enough to be noticeable. can anyone else duplicate my hallucination? :)

also, staring at a textured wall until your eyes hurt (you can't move them for this to work) will create vivid hallucinations that crawl out of the texture of the wall in a very interesting way.
