>that moment of pure bliss when everyone is asleep, you turn all the lights off in your room, sit in your chair, and just let your mind drift off into space
>>36786675
Now this is the best feel. Along with some hot tea, blankets, and soothing classical music on low volume playing in the background.
>>36786675
Do this but outside. It's even better.
>>36786675
Such a nice feeling
But anon, that's when the voices come
>when you just stop everything you're doing and stay completely still, close your eyes, and start to hear everything around you
>just being content with being, and enjoying the sensations and perceptions of being
I should take up meditation.
>that silent quiet moment late into the night where you look out the window see the empty streets and hear nothing to indicate other people outside and it really feels like you are the only one in your city and world for a brief time and you entertain that thought seriously for just a moment and feel a little exhileration swell inside you before a passing car breaks the brief illusion
Always the comfiest moment, I wish I could enter a private world at my own leisure and stay as long as I wanted, like lucid dreaming but without the mountain of effort and discipline it requires.
>>36787197
That is a type of meditation.
>>36786675
This is me as fuck. Super late like around 2am, I'm the only person up, its dark and I'm smoking a fat bowl while thinking. Shits my bread and butter.
>>36786675

Random but I remember some ambient horror short story about just that. Think it was ligotti
>>36787338
Doesnt sound like horror to me desu

>tfw tinnitus and visual snow my whole life but never thought until a year ago that everyone didn't see things this way so it seems normal and non-distracting to me
Sometimes I just lay like pic related and just start thinking of existence.
We're so small compared to the rest of the universe and yet we think of ourselves as the most important part of it.
>>36787406
That's because we are the universe, if we're in it we can't be separate from it, and we think ourselves important because we are where it has become complex enough to realize itself.

Y'all should try filling up your bath tubs with body temperature water, close the lights, and let yourself float in it. Considering you don't touch the bath tub itself, you should be left with what is called a sensory deprivation tank. Astronauts sometimes use this to train and reportedly people dreamed of really weird shit or even supposedly came in contact with alien civilisations. It's some pretty amazing shit.
>>36786675
Tfw everyone is asleep and you're just a bush.

What is silence like? Could you describe visual snow.. is it like film grain?
>>36787789
Sort of, I can't really describe it, but it's more noticeable in low light conditions and on broad flat colors, like a plain wall. It's like a sort of fog that sits in front of your eyes, and if you look for it it's in the entirety of your vision.
There are probably people with it much worse than me, but I don't find it very interfering.
>>36787846
I think I know what you're talking about, I feel like that's just the eye being shite in low light
Unless I have it too and just thought it was the normal thing to see
>>36787914
Close your eyes and cover you eyelids, if the blackness has a sort of speckle motion to it, you can make out a sort of 'nothing' color that's close to red/brown/green/yellow, or you see blooming afterimages like you would after looking away from a direct light, then that's it.
>>36787949
Isn't this normal? Fug
Is the tinnitus/snow combo a common thing? If people are born with one do they usually have the other too
And as a kid I always used to find figures and stuff using my imagination if I concentrated hard on my eyes like that
>>36787985
Exactly what I thought, I have both and always have, but knowing that other people don't have it doesn't make it suddenly a nuisance. I get what you mean about finding figures too, sometimes as I'm falling asleep I can suddenly see an image in the blurs for a split second, kind of like looking at clouds and finding shapes.

I just want my normal fucking vision back, If I had that, all this other bullshit would be fucking nothing. But nope, the dial for my visual cortex has been turned up to 11 and broken off.
Just imagine living in a trip 24/7/365 and being aware the entire time that you are tripping.
>>36786675
>>36786746
nope this is a terrible feel as soon as you get infiltrated by cringey old memories and how shitty your life is.
>>36788121
If it really is permanent do you think it could be something you could ever get used to? The only time I've done LSD it made me realize that regular perception is weird on its own and we're just used to it.
Or are you literally seeing fractals spouting off of edges and patterns repeating forever all the time?
>>36788098
I'm getting PRK on Saturday maybe I'll ask the surgeon about it
