My bedsheet has flower patterns on it (I am male, but always lived in a house where a sheet’s a sheet. So I have flowers on it) The other day I managed to see a woman’s bra and cleavage in the flower pattern. It was quite a well formed ‘picture’ too.  
I often (well maybe once a month on average) manage to find quite vivid faces or other things within clouds, or my pile of clothes at night (or just about any ‘random’ mess of shapes and lines)

Post your most memorable experience of percieving things in patterns or clouds.

chemically-enhanced experiences are welcome.  
But just to make it clear - I am refering to the type of things our sober, drug-free minds can do with patterns _accidentally_ Like seeing an evil face in the folds of your screwed up t-shirt

I thought I saw a picture of Jesus in a spilled bottle of ketchup once
