It’s because popcorn ceilings (or acoustic ceilings, historically) are randomly designed, mimicking “noise.” On LSD, the brain’s pattern recognition abilities crank up to 11, and a user may begin to see that kind of breathing effect, or other visual distortions, as a result of the brain trying to identify the pattern in an otherwise patternless display.
That’s interesting. Would it be more interesting to say that I never used to have that effect until I took lsd for the first and only time 2 years ago and even right now I still experience the motions when looking at my ceiling, and any number of things with patterns?
I get the same thing but I think it really depends on my mental state. If I'm stoned out of my mind laying in bed then the ceiling will mildly move, but if I'm sober and alert I get nothing. It could be HPPD, tough to tell since this is an area of research that has been explored very little.

A mate of mine said he knew he was tripping when he threw up and the part-digested mushrooms in the toilet were all laughing at him.

Yo, late as fuck but what is that. I swear it looks as though my ceiling is breathing in waves. Please explain.
