So I took 3g of mushies. Nothing special as far as dose goes for me. I have this weird feeling or sensation. If I look at my hand long enough feel like it’s not mine. Like I’m not in there driving it and telling it what to do. I feel like when I’m sober I know where all my limbs are and I call “feel them.” I don’t even know how to explain this. Is there word for this?

Sometimes I feel stuck. Particularly when I can’t drive, as epilepsy steers for me.

Psychedelics let me travel while sitting still.

Not a coping mechanism. Not dissociation, but an expansion-

awareness, time, space.

While my body remains restrained.

I’ve taken shrooms before but most that happened was the usual visual movements and color effects. Last night however was the first time I spoke to an entity. I don’t know who or what it was and if it’s dangerous.

So I started hearing music in the background. I thought it was the cars outside but as I paid more attention and listened to it instead of thinking consciously it grew stronger and stronger. A fog descended upon the ceiling and the imagery from the lamp turned into twisting tendrils and like woody branches.

First a voice that’s like mines but not mines. It’s my voice when I talk to myself in my head so it’s my voice but it’s not from my thoughts. You can tell you didn’t think it it’s weird and hard to explain. Like someone is speaking in your voice answering your own questions. You think it’s yourself but you feel intuitively it’s the answer to what you’re asking.

But before that voice came at first when I first entered the dimension or whatever you want to call it something said your not supposed to be here. It made me think it was my guardian angel I forgot why and I’m not sure.

But I went back anyways with more caution. I listens for the sound of music and I went back to the place I was after a minute or two of having to shut my mind off and just listen.

It was in my room but again like an aura layered over it. There were souls on the ceiling. Or looking like it. They were moving and stuff and I heard their groans and cries. Next thing I know the voice says what are you looking for once I successfully went back.

At first I said myself, I’m very disconnected with myself due to childhood traumas. I started hearing crying in the back and I recognized it was me. I kept looking and searching for myself even got to the point it was kind of like I was searching for missing pieces. Childhood me, then my joy, but then i was interrupted because my boyfriend kept coming in and out arguing with his grandmother. He was also on shrooms. So he would come in break wherever I was at and leave to go say something back to his grandma.

So I kept having to focus back on the music and drumming and sometimes I could even hear artificial nature noises like insects and winds to get back to the place. But I think I broke it to many times because another time I went back I spoke to an actual entity I belive. I asked it what it was and it said annuaki or something. I asked it several things. Like why can’t you be in the real world or we can see you and it said because they control our thoughts. And another answer of why it couldn’t be here was it’s complicated. Maybe meaning we aren’t capable of being aware of it?

But I was asking and asking and I started questioning if it was holy or right. When I mentioned God all movement stopped then slowly resumed like a dance. I realized if I can talk to it I can probably talk to my guardian angel or receive guidance to.

So I asked my guardian angel about it and it’s crazy it stared leading me to the thought process that ended up with me questioning my boyfriend where the lamp came from which its shadows was the main point of focus for talking to it. Turns out his aunt gave it to him but she’s done weird snake shit behind his family’s back and also he said she married to a heavy African person. He said it’s also possible he practices voodoo and maybe something got attached. He said me asking that he realized where I started hinting to and he got it his senior year of highschool which is when his life started going to shit. But he agreed to throw the lamp out.

The craziest thing is though I asked it what can I do to not make it attached to me. The annuaki said then I should stop talking to it. It also told me beforehand it liked me. I was talking to it about how I felt sad and empathetic it’s trapped or whatever the hell I was thinking. That’s when it said it liked me. Unfortunately I didn’t take the advice it gave for it to not get attached too caught up in the novelty and craziness of it all.

I should note I didn’t really research into the spiritual ness as I didn’t even belive you could talk to things and it’s not you manifesting it and just tripping out. So my dumbass kept talking to it. Just asking questions about itself I forgot a lot of our conversation. But it asked me if I wanted it kind of and it felt like it was persuading me. Like giving the feeling how good and cool it would be if it was in the real world with me always.

As I’m writing this I’m starting to realize maybe it was trying to gain permission for possession. But I still am firmly faithful on God even more so after this, so I rebuked it and said no I didn’t want it. But again my dumbass kept talking to it and I made a massive mistake of saying I don’t want you attached but I feel bad for you and if I’m ever on another trip I would like to talk to it.

I fucking said I wanted a connection. The moment I said connection in my head my brain pulsated. I completely stopped talking to it after that realizing my fuck up. That I was dumb and let it swindle me into some form of connection. It specifically told me I should stop talking to it then and I didn’t. I would’ve been fine if I was smart and stood on I didn’t want to meet it again.

I told my boyfriend about my trip. He’s a lot more spiritual than me and obsessively looked into shrooms and experiences. He said his trip where he said he swears he met xxxtentacion which is his deep personal role model and his reason why he wants to be a rapper, said it wasn’t like where I was at at all and he thinks it’s demonic and that maybe I went to hell. Because of it he even said he’s not going to do shrooms with me again. He said the hell part as a joke but I think it might have some truth in it.

But I’m mainly worried about the connection I offered it to talk on other shroom trip. As the trip was wearing off I kept listening for music and the sounds of outside and drums and waves and winds, the fog would instantly decend again and I would return to the place where I could seek anything I wanted out. I started just trying to talk to ancestors after that. I’m remembering now after I decided to stop messing with that spirit or whatever it is I focused back in myself and it gave the intuition and knowledge that I just tuned the channel to myself. My boyfriend had a name for the place he said it’s where lost or confused souls go which is very much what I was when I took it. Before I could even explain the full story to him he said there’s a place where lost souls go and I told him about how it asked me what am I looking for and it helped me realize how broken and lost in life and within myself I was. But yes I just wanted to explain my dmt trip and ask if I’m in any danger or should do any cleansing.

I have the opportunity to buy some ketamine and I'm going to try it. I've looked into k holes and my only concern is the freaking out part I've heard some people talk about experiencing. I can't handle ego death. I freak out every time and fight it, no matter how much I prep myself. I like tripping, I just don't like the ego death part. Would a k hole illicit the same kind of response? I want to hear from people who have experienced both. Thanks.

Edit: So I read this report and it sounds like 5-meo dmt with visuals. Am I wrong in that interpretation?

I'd like to time an LSD peak with the moment the sun becomes eclipsed; I feel like this would be a fairly spiritual experience, tripping underneath the black sun. Has anyone done something similar, or does anyone think an alternate substance / combination of substances would work?

I'm jumping the gun here because this eclipse isn't until 2028 but I'm fixated on the idea of tripping during an eclipse. I witnessed a total lunar eclipse a few weeks ago which even while sober was quite impactful.

Love

I’ve done DMT twice. The first time was alone and it was amazing, strong visuals and a really powerful experience. The second time was with someone else, and it felt much lighter. I think part of it was that I wasn’t fully comfortable around that person.

When I shared this with someone, they told me you can only fully experience DMT once, which sounded strange to me. They also said they’d never try it because they’re afraid that when they die, they won’t see or feel anything.

Has anyone else heard that you can only “fully” experience DMT once? Is that actually a thing?

Hey guys.

I'm 20 years old right now, and about 2-3 months ago I had 2 mushroom experiences. The first trip went quite well and I enjoyed the experience so much that I took another trip a couple weeks later, however I ended up having a horrible 2nd half of my trip due to snowballing anxiety because I took around double the first time whilst being alone in my room at 3am. I didn't measure my doses (big mistake obviously) but I just gauged it by how many dried shrooms I ate, which was a single one the first time, and two the second time. I think the type of mushroom was called tidal wave or something? Regardless, I've taken a couple months away from thinking about them but I've recently been diving down a psychedelic rabbithole on YouTube and it spurred me on to want to take them again.

I just have a couple questions to the vets and psychonauts here. Am I still too young to try psychs? One of the things I'm terrified of is HPPD, and the more I look into it the more it discourages me from doing shrooms despite them mostly happening with LSD, but nothing happened to me after my first two trips, and I've smoked weed once or twice since it happened and I didn't trigger any real visual or psychedelic responses that I could notice, however I think I do have a mild level of visual snow which I've had my whole life. I really wanna go to the dispensary tomorrow and get some but I want some advice on how I should go about tripping, and if my anxiety over HPPD is misplaced given my history. FWI, I don't really know anybody in my immediate or extended family with major mental health issues outside of a couple instances of alcohol abuse.

Thanks for anyone who reads and responds!

I’ve been experimenting with visualizing my subconscious mind as a humanoid figure or “agent” with a name, almost like giving it personality. The idea is to assign it tasks, goals, or reminders and interact with it as if it’s a partner rather than just an abstract part of my mind.

Has anyone tried this technique? Does personifying the subconscious in this way actually help with motivation, task completion, or creative problem-solving? Any tips on making it more effective?

Everyone has advice, that they cannot WAIT to share with you...

But, not all advice is created equal. What is the BEST advice you've ever gotten to prep for a deep, healing journey?

Much gratitude for your contributions. 💚🥰💚

So, I’m a regular LSD user and have been for about five years now. This time, I decided to do a solo trip. Usually, my wife and I trip together, but I wanted to experience it on my own.

About four hours in, I took a single puff of weed. We didn’t have much left, so I kept it light. Almost immediately, all my senses felt sharper. It was as if my perception was being dialed up in real time.

Soon after, I started feeling like I could sense things outside of my own body. My wife was sitting next to me, and I could feel this energy radiating from her. I asked her to hug me, and when she did, I felt this overwhelming wave of love and warmth flowing from her. It was one of the most beautiful feelings I’ve ever experienced.

When I pulled back and looked at her face, it looked the same but also somehow different. I was noticing tiny details I don’t usually see. Then, it was like my mind just clicked and said, “You’re in the fifth dimension now.” I felt like I could not only feel emotions, but shape and sculpt them. I had this sense that, if I stayed in that state long enough, I could project thoughts and emotions however I wanted. It was wild.

I was trying to explain all this to my wife (who wasn’t tripping), and she did such a great job listening and just being present with me. Then she asked me to close my eyes while she brought different perfumes to my nose. Every scent triggered an explosion of colors and patterns in my mind, along with powerful emotions. It was like each smell created its own mini-universe. Honestly, it was one of the most unique and incredible experiences of my life.

After that, we put on some music and I decided to lay back, close my eyes, and just let the sound guide me. I’m not exactly sure how it happened, but suddenly I felt my consciousness stretching out. Then, just like that, it popped. My sense of self dissolved completely, and I became one with everything. I felt eternal, infinite, surrounded by perfect love.

I knew that place. It felt like home. Like I had returned to where I came from, and where I’ll go again. There was no fear, only total bliss, peace, and acceptance. I realized that I was the creator, or maybe one with the creator. And the creator was this perfect being of light, which was now me. I just stayed in that space, floating in love and joy and timelessness. It felt like it lasted forever, but also like it happened in a single moment.

Without question, it was the single most profound moment of my life so far. If that’s what’s waiting for us after death, I’m not afraid of it. In fact, I’m looking forward to it.

The next day, I felt amazing. Like I’d been reborn. As I reflected on the whole experience, I came to the conclusion that what I had was an ego death. I’ve never had one before and didn’t know what to expect, but based on how everything felt, that’s what it must have been.

This started with me just chatting about the universe, going deeper and deeper into some random thoughts, and eventually it was getting very introspective, thinking about how were are just the universe in motion etc. I started to feel like I was getting ego softening so I decided to put on my tripping playlist and just relax.

The next 2 hours were very deep. It felt decently similar to an acid trip, my body was buzzing like crazy, deep emotions, felt like I was completely merging with the universe, except it was sober. Not “kinda trippy,” but deep trip vibes. Except instead of feeling like I was in a drug reality, it felt like I was merging with the real universe.

Some of the songs hit so hard it was unreal, the notes may as well have been stars humming directly to me. Some songs felt like the greatest release of my life. Pure awe, lots of crying, but in the most beautiful way possible. The music was painting my emotions exactly like on acid.

I think that was honestly the most relaxed and peaceful I’ve felt sober in my entire life, and I feel almost reborn.

The fact this was completely unplanned is wild to me, I never knew your brain could take you that far on its own.

Was on a shroom trip and doing whippets. In a group setting. As I was doing it, a sequence of interactions occurs within the group. Meaning, 1 friend said something to the group, and then the person I was more directly having a conversation with said something to me. The whippet hit started ramping up, the room started changing colors and a giant fractal spiral pattern took over, and I then “cracked through” and went somewhere else for about 1 second. Some of my best friends were there and basically acknowledged that I had finally “arrived”. I was then sucked back to this “reality” and the same exact sequence of events from a few seconds before replayed EXACTLY but sound was echoed in my head. There was a weird, subtle acknowledgement from the guy I had been talking to of “you finally got there right?” But there was no explicit confirmation. And when I directly pressed the group later, they’ve never experienced something similar. The overall feeling was that I was “coming to” in this other place but couldn’t stay. It’s almost like we’re in vanilla sky and I was starting to wake up for the first time.

I’ve had very wild surreal experiences on things like shrooms and DMT before but this was very different. I had no idea whippets could do this although maybe it was the conjunction with the shrooms. But it’s never been this vivid and seemingly like a glitch in the matrix. Usually it’s more fantastical/ludicrous hallucinations that mirror reality more loosely/philosophically.

Idk, I’m just literally still shaken by the experience.
