Vision melting when realising I'm in a dream
Every time I realised I was in a dream my consciousness either went back to sleep instantly or my vision started literally melting, looked like the in-between stages of an AI generating pictures, and then went straight into sleep paralysis. I can't really be certain, but I'm pretty sure I'm unable to visualize anything (not in the sense that people usally describe it, anyway) and when I had my longest lucid dream once for a couple seconds I didn't really see anything, but it was more like I felt the things around me, what was weird is that the feelings still felt vision-adjacent since I didn't know what was behind a wall or had like a 360-degree awareness. Even when I have sleep paralysis it's never coherent, it's a mix of very loud demonic sounds and weird imagery that, like colourful static and when I look at it it's like I recognise a monster, like when you're tired and you think you see something in the dark, I have to focus on the shapes and then my brain switches to like a daredevil state just like when lucid dreaming and actually recognize something resembling a monster. I can't really explain it since I've never been high but it is almost like when people describe taking strong psychedelics.
The point of this post is mainly to see if there are other people that feel like they're on acid when lucid dreaming. Hope I'm not the only lunatic.
