Perspective distortion: Difference between revisions

Line 6:

When affecting size, perspective distortions can make things seem as if they are physically smaller or larger in terms of the sense of size that one would usually attribute to them. For example, this can range from a subtle experience, such as the room feeling marginally smaller and more cramped than it usually would be, to an extreme experience, such as feeling as if the room is hundreds of miles wide or infinite.

Perspective distortions are often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[depth perception distortions]] and [[visual disconnection]]. They are most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[dissociative]] compounds, such as [[ketamine]], [[PCP]], [[MXE]], and [[DXM]].

Feelings of suddenly having an impossibly giant or tiny body are also a very common manifestation of this effect. This feeling is already known by the scientific literature as “[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alice_in_Wonderland_syndrome Alice in Wonderland Syndrome]”, where it is seen as a temporary condition often associated with migraines, brain tumours, and the use of psychoactive drugs. The effect can either be specifically attributed to the body as a whole or certain parts of it. For example, feelings of having a huge head or tiny limbs are possible.
