I have neither seen or experienced anything like that nor even heard about such thing before you wrote a post. It made me do a quick research on my own and I have seen a rather interesting article on a wiki dedicated to psychoactive substance use.

That's not to say I had no creepy moments during early childhood, but living in a house with two physicists, maths professor and a medical doctor quickly makes you skeptical and very demanding of hard proofs ;). I had a window curtain with a pattern that made me experience weird "house must be moving, but I don't experience any acceleration" moments due to translation-distortion effect similar to ones described in this Numberphile video.
