Postmirage

Postmirage refers to a psychological phenomenon where individuals experience vivid, often surreal visual or sensory illusions after a traumatic or intense event, similar to a mirage. These alterations can include hallucinations, distorted perceptions, or lingering visual impressions that feel real but are not physical realities. It is thought to be a way the brain processes overwhelming experiences, blending reality with memory or imagination. Postmirage effects can vary in intensity and duration, and understanding them helps in addressing conditions related to trauma and stress.
