The best name I can think of for a weird phenomenon that I sometimes endure while trying to fall asleep. Everything inside my head, when I see things and don't merely think them, I see simultaneously at a microscopic and telescopic level, in addition to viewing the shape as it normally appears. I try not to think about myself, or it gets really intense - I can feel my body being very small and vastly large at once.

For a long time I mistook this for seeing things as dirty, scary, or full of weird details. The physical sensation I couldn't place. Then I realized that the imagined details were actually creases in skin, tiny pieces of dust, and whatnot.
