Trippy stuff that's fun at night when you're bored

JC 2K3

I love trippy stuff, be it fractals, optical illusions, audio tricks, binaural beats etc. And the time I watch/listen to most of it online is late at night. I don't know why, I just tend to feel more in that state of mind at this time I guess.

Anyway, here's a couple of my favourites to start off with.

Natural Hallucinogens
I love these, they let you experience what is a prominent feature of the visual psychedelic experience without taking any drugs. View them in full screen mode and stare directly at the centre of them. Try not to blink, though it's ok to so a couple of times. All 3 are slightly different and have slightly different effects.

The Castle Illusion and Variations
These are my favourite type of optical illusions ever! They're such a simple concept and so easily made, yet they work so well and are so amazing, especially when you first do them. Just stare directly at the dot in the middle of the negative picture and wait until it changes. When it does change, move your eyes slightly off the dot

Binaural and Monaural Beats
If a light buzzing sound annoys you, turn down the volume a bit. You can stare at the picture if you like, as there are slight visual subliminal messages, but it's not really necessary. I definitely notice something the second I start listening to this. It induces a really relaxed state by playing certain frequencies that your brain responds to. There are more of these available, but this is the best one I've come across.

I watched the first two hallucigoen ones - first one was really cool, though gave me a slight headache.
During the second one I found myself moving closer and closer towards the screen 'til it ended.

I'll be sure to check out the rest later tonight. Those are seriously cool, thanks for sharing them :cool:

Cool links JC 2K3.

The Hallucinogen ones gave me a bit of a headache though. Haven't gotten around to the other ones yet. Apart from the first castle one. That was cool.

Stare at the 4 vertical dots in the centre of the image below for 30 seconds. Then close your eyes, and tilt your head back. Keep 'em closed, you'll see a circle of light. Keep staring at the circle,what do you see?.

'Love watching people's reaction to it too.

"-ok, i'm looking at the white circle, but i dont see anything....

.......

-woah :eek:."

I always thought that one was really obvious and unimpressive...

The "castle illusion" ones in my first post are a more impressive example of that kind of illusion I think.

I saw the castle one before, except the picture was boobies

That castle one was really cool! They're great links, keep em coming!

How long is it meant to stay with you? Fecker was still staring at me about quarter of an hour later or more.
It is pretty cool though.
