Talk:Intensified realism

Intensified realism is the perception of ones environment as being more realistic or perceptionally raw than what is typically experienced. This might be described as experiencing things as "more real than real" or feeling like a cartoon character who has suddenly been dropped into a live-action world. This effect can impact any of the senses, including tactile, visual, auditory, olfactory, gustatory, thermoceptive, and pain, and it will often affect multiple senses simultaneously.

Intensified realism is associated with moderare doses of psychadelics such as LSD and dissociatives such as DXM. Individuals may also experience intensified realism in states of sleep deprivation.
