Another common manifestation of this effect is the perception of textures progressively extending and stretching outward from the surfaces which they reside upon in the form of a detailed 3-dimensional structure somewhat similar to complex, opaque and solidified smoke. These structures usually maintain a size which is consistent with the width of the texture it is extending from. They can also range from anywhere between several inches to several meters in length. For example, if one is staring at a painting on the wall it may extend in one direction in a 2D fashion until the observer looks away.

Although this subjective effect component is categorized as a [[visual distortions|visual distortion]], it is likely an indirect result of [[external hallucinations]] being applied to objects within the user's environment occurring in a manner which does not introduce new data but simply alters the perceived 3-dimensional structure of its content. This ~~is illustrated in subjective reports of~~ one ~~seeing a stationary~~ object ~~move~~ in a familiar fashion, ~~such as~~ a microwave door ~~opening~~ and ~~closing~~. ~~This extreme end of~~ object ~~drifting and distortion is only experienced~~ in ~~late stage sleep deprivation~~, [[~~delerium~~]]~~, or psychosis~~.

The mindstates that often cause this effect are those encompassing [[delirium]] and [[psychosis]]; drug induced or not. These are but are not limited to: [[sleep deprivation]], [[stimulant]] [[psychosis]], [[delirium]] brought on naturally or by [[deliriants]] such as [[diphenhydramine]] and [[datura]].

===Object Activation===

Under late stage [[sleep deprivation]], delirium, or [[stimulant]] [[psychosis]], certain visual effects can occur which are considered to be at the extreme end of the 3-D drifting effect. This unique effect, called '''object activation''', occurs when one looks at an object and the object moves in a familiar fashion of its own accord. For example, if one is looking at a microwave the door may open and close on its own, or a cup on the table may start to slide or tilt over. The "activated object" usually moves in a familiar way that would happen in day to day life, furthering the point that the brain is having [[external hallucinations]] in one's environment. These hallucinations only occur when one looks directly at an object for an extended period of time and are rare and extreme signs of an advanced psychotic state.

The mindstates that often cause this effect are those encompassing [[delerium]] and [[psychosis]]; drug induced or not. These are but are not limited to: [[sleep deprivation]], [[stimulant]] [[psychosis]], [[delerium]] brought on naturally or by deleriants such as [[diphenhydramine]] and [[datura]].
