    First off, I can't believe that they actually named a medical condition after the greatest story of all time.

    Secondly, Alice in Wonderland syndrome sounds mad awesome:
    • Distorted time perception; time moving quickly or slowly.
    • Distorted touch perception, e.g. a feeling that the ground is 'spongy' under the feet or that the sensation received from touching something is simply incorrect or unrecognised.
    • Distorted sound perception.
    • Distorted perception of the size of body parts
    As strange as this sounds, I wish to "achieve" this condition. I know it sounds crazy but this sounds pretty trippy. Think about it: looking in the mirror and seeing your neck being 2 feet long...

    Large amounts of LSD will help you feel that way.

    Also, I believe in the movie there are hints of her eating mushrooms.

    I they are describing what it is like to be tripping on acid, which is what I believe Alice in Wonderland was about.

    I used to experience distorted perception of scale when I was a kid, it had a kind of spongy feeling to it as well, it's really fucking weird actually. Like the digits on my alarm clock start to look like they are as big as a skyscraper, then really tiny and I am a giant. My perception of scale and size would get all fucked up. I have experienced it several times as an adult since, but not so often.

    Alice's Adventures in Wonderland was written in 1865, long before Albert Hoffman first synthesized LSD (1938...it wasn't until 5 years later that it's psychedelic properties were discovered, though)

    Lewis Carrol would have never known what LSD was.

    The use of psilocybian mushrooms by native American peoples was heard of at the time, but very little was known about it.....

    There is a slight possibility that Lewis Carrol would have some idea about such things, but he was more likely to be familiar with opiate type drugs, alcohol, hashish, cocaine and coca......

    But definitely not LSD, and very likely not psilocybian mushrooms, either.

    Sometimes when I'm hungover, my tongue disappears. I grab it with two fingers to make sure it's there. [​IMG]

    I'm not even talking about drugs. Yes, Alice in Wonderland has a lot of drug references, but a medical condition is named after is. Alice in Wonderland syndrome is real, and has nothing to do with the story, other than the coincidence of body part size and such.

    These symptoms remind me more of Heroin withdrawl or an extreme fever than any psychedelics. Other than perception of time slowing down; never had it speed up before, at least not in any 'traditional' sense. Anyway that happens everyday so I would not call it hallucination until time starts going backward lol.
