Hallucinogen persisting perception disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I've had what I assume are mild flashbacks for years but they're never persisting nor are they scary or life-altering in any way. But I also always see blue halos around streetlights especially... but I can't remember if that's normal or not, because the first time I've ever noticed them was when I was during my first trip a lot of years ago and I'm assuming that in normal circumstances it's because of pupil dilation, which, at night, your pupils will be relatively dilated to allow in more light.
I also see barely perceptible trails (tracers) with bright moving objects in the dark, but again, I can't say that's not normal to a degree.

I'm guessing HPPD has to manifest at a much higher intensity before it would be considered, because I can't imagine even my flashbacks as being something someone would worry about or report to anyone out of concern.
