Weird visuals and visual snow from meditation or tripping ?

[Lynnel]

When meditating and focusing on a single point I've had diverse moving shapes of violet/blue/green colors which would dance and underline objects. I took it as if I'm meditating correctly and ignored it.

Most recently I noticed that if I focused on some thing for a bit I would get some sort of visual snow, especially blank surfaces. In the dark I tend to get more diverse colorful visuals and this is freaking me out a bit. What is it ? Could it be HPPD or visual snow or migraine aura ?

I'm aksing because I'm afraid tripping more might make those symptoms worse and it seems that those symptoms in the dark have appeared after me tripping on mushrooms. In my day to day life I don't notice them if I don't pay attention (except in a quite dark room), thus I'm not too bothered by them yet but I'll rather be sure.

Any tips and insights ?

Edit : I've been meditating for a bit more than 3 years, 1 year of kriya yoga and tripped 3 times so it's hard to really understand the cause of this.

Sounds like normal happenings when in a very concentrated state. I get wavy colored blobs that sort of look like the northern lights when I'm deep into breath focus. Those colors can coalesce and turn into nimittas if you stay the course and maintain the same level of focus.

Okay great, at least this part is normal.

Do you get some sort of visual snow looking at dark surfaces ? I'm trying to understand if I have some slight HPPD or it's just something I always had but never noticed before. I'm not sure if mushrooms created the visual snow or I'm freaking out for nothing

I found a lot of useful ressources about Visual Snow and it appears to be related to clarivoyance ?

I pretty sure anyone can see it if they pay enough attention to their visual field, but you can as well ignore it and you will not see it.
