<onlyinclude>'''Immersion enhancement''' can be described as an effect which results in a pronounced increase in one's tendency to become fully captivated or engrossed by external stimuli such as film, tv-shows, video games, and various other forms of media. This greatly increases one's suspension of disbelief, suppresses one's memory of the "outside world", and allows one to become engaged on a level that is largely unattainable during everyday sober living.

fully ~~engulfed within~~ external ~~visual or auditory~~ stimuli such as ~~music~~, ~~movies~~, video games and various other forms of media. This ~~effect is very common in its manifestation with [[psychedelic]]~~s, ~~but~~ is ~~considerably more prominent with [[dissociative]]s~~. At its highest ~~level~~, ~~this component~~ can reach a level ~~of intensity~~ which ~~results in a~~ person ~~becoming completely submerged into what~~ they are ~~perceiving~~. This ~~replaces~~ the external ~~environment with~~ the perceived ~~media~~ in ~~a manner that turns it into a temporary all-encompassing hallucinatory~~ and ~~delusional reality~~.</onlyinclude>

At its highest point of intensity, immersion enhancement can reach a level in which the person can begin to truly believe that the media they are consuming is a real life event which is actually happening in front of them. This is likely a result of the effect synergizing with other accompanying components such as [[internal hallucinations|internal]] or [[external hallucinations]], [[delusions]], and [[suggestibility enhancement]]. Whether or not this experience is enjoyable can differ drastically depending on various factors such as the emotional tone and familiarity of what is being perceived.

Immersion enhancement is an extremely common effect under the influence of almost any [[hallucinogen|hallucinogenic]] substance but it is considerably more prominent and consistent with [[dissociative|dissociatives]] and [[deliriant|deliriants]] in comparison to [[psychedelic|psychedelics]] and [[cannabinoid|cannabinoids]].</onlyinclude>
