Visual stretching can be described as an effect which distorts a person's field of view to make it appear as if it is horizontally or vertically stretching in its size. This effect varies in its intensity, ranging from subtle and barely visible to extreme and all-encompassing in a manner which can completely impair a person's sense of sight. At higher levels, it can stretch a person's vision into a seemingly infinite length which typically renders their field of view as a thin strip of sensory data surrounded on either side by either empty space or subtle geometry.
Visual stretching is most commonly induced under the influence of heavy dosages of sudden onset hallucinogenic compounds, such as nitrous oxide, DMT and salvia divinorum. This holds particularly true in the moments immediately preceding ego death.
