I just had a strange experience which could be similar to the ring thing (if it was a mental rather than physical explanation I mean)... a hallucination/mirage effect; I recently bought a PlayStation and have had Fortnite on the brain for the last week or two. So just a few minutes ago I was settling down to go to bed (after watching videos about Fortnite on YouTube) and in the dark I saw the green light from my PS controller charging dock on the floor and what looked like three or four other red glowing controller outlines in close proximity. And for a solid two or three minutes I was like dafuq is this? Is this some feature of the PlayStation to spawn holographic controllers?... ie they looked just like how looted weapons/items appear in Fortnite... as glowing outlines of the object in question. Like I said it wasn't till a solid two or three minutes later that it twigged for me the red lights were probably the red lights of my extension plug sockets on the floor; that combined with messed up sleep and general haziness lately came together into that surreal little hallucination/mirage. So basically in other words the brain is very good at mindfuckery... to fill in the gaps of what it perceives based on recent events, bias, or wants/needs... especially if you're not fully awake or alert at the time.
