Aww, that was one of my favourite Google Doodles.I'm really glad the Google doodle has changed from yesterday, I was getting seriously bad big/small vibes from the cartoon planet zooming up in size as it got closer. Brr!
RE BIG/SMALL THINGS,
Wow, I have never discussed this with anyone before as i honestly thought it was just me who had these nightmarish visions. i have only just seen this thread, and just thought i was nuts!
As a young child possibly 5-6 yrs old, when ill, i too used to get the feeling of objects getting smaller and smaller, in particular the TV. I would be sat there and all of a sudden it was as though the living room was stretching out in front of me, everything was getting further and further away, smaller and smaller until it was just a dot in the distance.
What made this more frightening for me was the fact that i KNEW i would hallucinate that night - always the same thing, i would be running for my life away from a massive meat ball that was covered in knife blades, this was chasing me gathering speed all the time.
Imagine being so young and having these awful things going on in your head and your parents not believing a word of it, very scary stuff when your 5 or 6. Thankfully its been a long long time since then.
I have this. I used to have it as a child but when I realised (as I was growing up) that it hadn't happened for a while I started trying to bring it on myself. So I still get it and I don't have a brain tumour or migraines or anything like that, I have just sort of trained myself to be able to have it. I know it as Alice in Wonderland syndrome and I think it is cool.
My Nan had something like the brightly-coloured one on the right.Saw this on our travels today. It's just like the one in your Nan's front window. Only bigger.

The other was, when lying in bed, to concentrate on looking at the ceiling and imagine that the ceiling was the floor. Eventually I would feel that this was the case and that I was attached to the ceiling (which was actually the floor). This was accompanied by the physical feelings of being somewhere up high and I would start to panic, thinking that I would fall to the floor/ceiling.
ive always related the sensation to my arm beneath the pillow, as you say infinite in thickness, simultaneously membrane thin ... there must be another thread as i recall posting that ...The only time I've had it as an adult was when I had my arm under my pillow in bed and felt that the pillow was infinite in size. Not just big, it stretched into infinity

I have seen this, also in front of some religious building - possibly York or Chester. I couldn't work out what the message was.
