'''Autonomous entities''' can be described as the visual experience of perceived contact with beings which appear to be sentient and autonomous in their behaviour. This is a shared subjective effect component that can manifest as a result of either [[External hallucinations|external]] and [[Visual effects: Internal hallucinations|internal hallucinations]]. Autonomous entities can appear during a [[hallucinogen|hallucinogenic]] experience, during [[sleep deprivation]], and during [[stimulant psychosis]].

Autonomous entities will frequently act as the inhabitants of a perceived independent reality. Although many entities seem largely unaware of one's presence, generally speaking, they are often expectant of the person's sudden appearance into their realm and usually choose to interact with them in various ways. The behavior of a typical entity can vary wildly and seems to depend heavily on one's current emotional state. For example, whilst many entities will act like loving, kind intelligences, teachers or healers, in certain contexts, they are equally capable of acting as indifferent, uncaring or even as malicious tormentors.
