While I agree with how you’ve experienced (or read about) lsd, it may also appear that you, or the writer of the information you got, has aphantasia! People who can see images with their eyes closed (or open depending on how developed their mind’s eye is) can definitely see things that others don’t while having a spiritual experience on LSD. Which is pretty cool, but everyone is different!!

nah, I don't have aphantasia - that would definitely throw a wrench in things but I'm pretty sure I'm as blandly neurotypical as it gets!

you may see or experience things differently from other people, but you're not going to see Barney appear from thin air

I think a UFO appearing is a bit different than Barney or Unicorns farting dust. I mean, getting confused or spooked by a weird light could do it.

May I ask what makes someone blandly neurotypical? Having aphantasia isn’t something that makes you weird, it is actually really common and can occur naturally, or from physical or psychological trauma. Every person on this earth has a spectrum of what their mind’s eye can see or can’t. We have 5 different ways of thinking and only one of those is through imagery.
