    Yeah I swear cartoons and maybe movies made mirages look like complex hallucinations to me as a kid. An actual mirage, like in the photo, is something I’ve also noticed ever since I started driving.

      I feel you, lol. To be fair, its likely that they do turn into complex hallucinations after a while. Those cartoon characters have typically spent too long in the desert sun and are dying of thirst.
