The visual effects of zolpidem are comparable to that of certain aspects [[deliriant|deliriants]], [[dissociative|dissociatives]] and [[psychedelics]]. At lower dosages, these effects manifest as simple [[visual suppressions]] but at higher doses, they may escalate into full-blown complex hallucinatory states of a bizarre and unique nature. | The visual effects of zolpidem are comparable to that of certain aspects [[deliriant|deliriants]], [[dissociative|dissociatives]] and [[psychedelics]].

*'''[[Effect::Geometry]]''' - The geometry produced by zolpidem shares similarities with [[DXM]] and genereally shifts between jitteriness and static. | |||
*'''[[Effect::Internal hallucination]]''' (''[[effect::autonomous entities]]''; ''[[effect::settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]''; ''[[effect::perspective hallucinations]]'' and ''[[effect::scenarios and plots]]'') - The internal hallucinations present on this compound can be described as vivid dream-like states similar in style to that of [[deliriants]]. This effect typically occurs briefly and spontaneously at moderate dosages but becomes progressively extended in its occurrence and duration proportional to dosage consumed before eventually becoming all-encompassing. It can be comprehensively described through its [[Visual_effects:_Internal_hallucinations#Variations|variations]] as delirious in believability, interactive in style, equal in new experiences and memory replays in content, autonomous in controllability and solid in style. | *'''[[Effect::Internal hallucination]]''' (''[[effect::autonomous entities]]''; ''[[effect::settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]''; ''[[effect::perspective hallucinations]]'' and ''[[effect::scenarios and plots]]'') - The internal hallucinations present on this compound can be described as vivid dream-like states similar in style to that of [[deliriants]].

*'''[[Effect::External hallucination]]''' (''[[effect::autonomous entities]]''; ''[[effect::settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]''; ''[[effect::perspective hallucinations]]'' and ''[[effect::scenarios and plots]]'') - In comparison to other classes of [[hallucinogen]], this effect exclusively occurs at heavy dosages and is comparable to [[deliriant]]s such as [[DPH]] and [[datura]]. This effect can be comprehensively described through its [[Visual_effects:_Internal_hallucinations#Variations|variations]] as delirious in believability, autonomous in controllability and solid in style. The most common themes for these hallucinations include those of both everyday occurrences such as talking to people who are not there and impossible occurrences such as inanimate objects coming to life or [[shadow people]]. | *'''[[Effect::External hallucination]]''' (''[[effect::autonomous entities]]''; ''[[effect::settings, sceneries, and landscapes]]''; ''[[effect::perspective hallucinations]]'' and ''[[effect::scenarios and plots]]'') - In comparison to other classes of [[hallucinogen]], this effect exclusively occurs at heavy dosages and is comparable to [[deliriant]]s such as [[DPH]] and [[datura]].
