'''Transformations''' can be described as the experience of a perceived visual metamorphosis of specific parts of one's external environment into other objects. For example, people who undergo this effect will often report seeing parts of their environment shifting into completely different things. These transformations have a huge variety of potential artistic styles and differing ~~styles~~ of detail, realism, and animation.

'''Transformations''' can be described as the experience of a perceived visual metamorphosis that specific parts of one's external environment undergo as they shapeshift into other objects.

These transformations have a huge variety of potential artistic styles and differing levels of detail, realism, and animation.

These hallucinations are progressive in nature, which means they form by arising from patterns or objects and then, over a period of seconds, by smoothly drifting the object through a fluid motion into an entirely new form. This is significantly enhanced and fueled by the separate visual effect of [[pattern recognition enhancement]]. It causes vague stimuli and specific objects to transform into incredibly detailed versions of what they were already perceived as looking similar to.

At lower levels, the process of transformation can require some minimal amount of focus and concentration to sustain. Losing concentration for an instant can cause the image to fade away or shift into another image. Holding the eyes still will increase the intensity of the progressive transformation. However, at higher levels this becomes completely unnecessary.

Transformations are often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[drifting]], [[pattern recognition enhancement]] and [[external hallucinations]]. They are most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[psilocybin]], and [[mescaline]]. However, they can also occur under the influence of [[deliriants]] such as [[DPH]], [[datura]], and [[benzydamine]].
