Things sticking out
Sometimes, like if something's in a pile that I see otherwise as a bunch of shapes and colors with zero meaning, it will come forth as an itch I cannot scratch. The object sticks out from the pile, but I do not consider the reason. I only notice the feeling of an itch, like an itch I cannot scratch. I want to pick up the object and hold it in my hand and then cover it, yes, yes, then it would be relieving to be able to banish that object from my sight, to submerge it. I have made it cease to exist! But then more items pop out of the pile. I begin to itch all over and begin to think of a cartoon image of a mass of blue pile and a few objects that stick out (like a starfish and a shell in SpongeBob Squarepants), which ruin the perfect unadorned blue pile, that just won't blend in. Cursed items!

I always thought that, too, until I came across this:
Subtype 1
Captivation of attention by a detail in the perceptual
fi eld (C.2.9). A particular visual feature or a part of the visual
fi eld stands out from the background, almost isolated
and somehow pregnant, so that this single aspect of the fi eld
captures one?s entire attention. The patient has to stare at
this detail, although he does not want to do so (fi xation of
perception, spellbound) and he has diffi culty in moving attention
away from it. The perceptual detail usually does
not possess any particular symbolic or psychological signifi
cance [in contrast to intrusive derealization (2.5.2)].
Also this (where the covering it up to make it disappear comes in):
Only Extant Reality
