Perspective hallucination + 25C-NBOH
25C-NBOH is known to produce perspective hallucination, a visual effect. A hallucinatory phenomenon in which the observer's visual perspective shifts from the normal first-person viewpoint to alternative vantage points — including third-person (seeing oneself from outside), bird's-eye, or omniscient perspectives — during both internal and external hallucinations.
About Perspective hallucination
Perspective hallucination is a remarkable alteration in the viewpoint from which hallucinatory content is perceived. Under normal circumstances — and during most hallucinatory experiences — the observer views events from their own first-person perspective, looking out through their own eyes. Perspective hallucination disrupts this default by shifting the apparent camera angle to positions that are physically impossible: seeing oneself from above, viewing a scene from a distant third-person vantage point, or perceiving events from multiple simultaneous perspectives.
The most commonly reported form is a shift to third-person perspective — the sensation of viewing oneself from outside one's own body, as though watching a character in a film or video game. The observer may see themselves sitting, lying down, or interacting with the environment from a vantage point several feet away or above. This can also extend to viewing hallucinatory scenes from a removed, cinematic angle, as though one is watching the hallucination play out on a screen rather than being embedded within it.
More exotic manifestations include bird's-eye or aerial perspective (viewing the scene from high above, as though looking down on a map or diorama),panoramic or omniscient perspective (perceiving the scene from all angles simultaneously, with an impossible awareness of spatial relationships from every direction at once), androtating or shifting perspective (the viewpoint continuously orbits, pans, or moves through the hallucinatory space in a way that would require a moving camera in physical reality).
Perspective hallucinations are closely related to, but distinct from, out-of-body experiences (OBEs). While OBEs involve a sense of one's consciousness genuinely leaving the body and occupying an alternative spatial position, perspective hallucinations are more specifically about the viewpoint of hallucinatory visual content — they alter how imagined or hallucinated scenes are seen rather than necessarily producing a sensation of physical displacement.
The effect is most commonly induced under high doses of psychedelics,dissociatives, anddeliriants, and it frequently accompanies memory suppression and delirium. The hallucinatory content being viewed from these alternative perspectives may involve both internal imagery (closed-eye visions, dreamlike scenarios) and external hallucinations projected into the physical environment. Dissociatives, particularly ketamine during K-hole states, are especially associated with the third-person and aerial variants.
