Visual disconnection: Difference between revisions

Line 11:

At its higher levels, visual disconnection can become all-encompassing in its effects. This results in a complete perceptual disconnection from one's sense of sight which can be described as the experience of being completely blinded and unable to tell whether the eyes are open or closed due to a total lack of sensory input. During this state, the effect often leads one into the experience of finding themselves floating through a dark and mostly empty hallucinatory void.

[[File:K-HOLE.jpg|350px|thumb|right|''The K-Hole by [[User:Josikins|Josikins]]'' - This image serves as an artistic replication of the common and simultaneous [[dissociative]]-induced effect known as [[Visual disconnection|visual disconnection]], [[Visual disconnection#Holes.2C_spaces_and_voids|holes, spaces and voids]] and [[Visual disconnection#Structures|hallucinatory structures]].]]

'''Holes, spaces and voids''' can be described as a sub-component of visual disconnection that manifests when it has become all-encompassing in its intensity. This experience is more commonly known within the literature as the "K-hole"<ref>K-hole (Wikipedia) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=K-hole&oldid=816882466</ref><ref>K-hole (urban dictionary) | http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=k%20hole</ref> and is generally discussed as something which is specifically associated with [[ketamine]] despite being present within most traditional [[dissociative|dissociatives]]. It can be described as the place a person finds themselves in once visual disconnection becomes powerful enough to leave the person incapable of receiving external sensory input. This replaces their visual input with a space that subjectively feels as if it is outside of normal reality.

The visual appearance of this space, hole or void can be described as a vast, mostly empty and darkened chamber which often feels and appears to be infinite in size. This space is usually dark black in its color but can occasionally display itself with large patches of slow moving amorphous color clouds or subtle [[geometry|geometric patterns]] across its horizon. At it's higher levels, these voids are often populated with hallucinatory structures which are comprehensively described and documented in the subsection below.

Alongside this visual experience, [[changes in gravity]] and a powerful sense of [[tactile disconnection]] are also usually present which can result in one feeling as if they are undergoing an out-of-body experience while weightlessly floating through a void over great distances in a variety of different speeds, directions, and orientations. This is a feeling that is interpreted by many people as floating through space or the night sky.

====Structures====

=====Structures=====

'''Structures''' can be described as the only feature found within what would otherwise be completely empty and uninhabited voids. These manifest as the visual experience of monolithic 3-dimensional shapes or structures of an infinite variety and size which float above, below, around, or in front of a person as they gradually zoom, rotate, transform or pan into focus and become unveiled before the person's line of sight at a gradual pace.
