Visual hullucinations

Hi

Does anyone else experience visual hullucinations?

My brain and visual system do this weird thing where they take a collection of objects and merge them into something new.... Like a tree a street sign and a flower box suddenly become a donkey..... 

Most of the time it is so ridiculous I know it is happening but at other times it is more challenging like i might see a person bending over, and I wonder what is wrong so if I am on my bike I will turn back to see if they are OK only to realise it was just a Bush and a dustbin... 

This tends to happen when I am more stressed.... 

Can anyone help?

    I wonder is it connected to what I read the other day? I get worse eyesight when stressed so googled it. Apparently the hormones released when stressed can affect eyesight

    That's interesting....-  I'm suffering from a lot of stress right now and I'm aware of 'movement' in my peripheral vision - sort of like if a bee flies past or a big spider on the floor - my brain is triggering a response but there's nothing there.    Hmmmm.
