An episode of Family Guy entertained the question of what happens when you take mushrooms as Brian ate what looked like an eighth ounce and began to trip hard. It shows him entering a black space where he starts to fall down a staircase as monsters pop out from nowhere and he is suddenly swimming underwater. It's nothing like that. It is for more sensual.
Ketamine has been a bit like that falling in blackness and underwater stuff for me. But something like mushrooms does things to me like
- make me feel like i have lost my mind
- make everything seem fairytale like and caricaturesque
- give me a closed eyed vision of white teletubby like beings just frolicking around retardedly
- give me a closed eyed vision of a clown behind bars, zooming out rapidly seeing him locked away in some strange world, with the vision ending with some looney tunes like jingle, like a jolly 'you're fucked'
- with psilohuasca i had a vision of sitting on a chair in some nowhere space with a clone of me walking around me, inspecting me. There was just pure confusion on both our faces, and inability to communicate or recognize in any way.
- making people look like they have bellybuttons instead of faces.
I don't really want to talk about when reality gets completely blown off the hinges right now, that is so hard to depict anyway. Ineffable even.
I remember on synthetic psilocin my hands turning into (really tasty and elaborately looking) spaghetti bolognese, being really amazed by
the guy on youtube who reconstructed a skrillex track purely a capella (yeah i know - i have no love for the guy but seeing that video while tripping was bizarre!!)... and then lying down with actual good music and facing my ultimate mortality, but at that point it had gotten almost a routine part of any real trip, being used to much more than deep confrontation (like rebirth, ego death, or cycling through ego deaths at high frequency). My roommate walked by like "you forgot about that being part of the package deal?", and it was beautiful.
Now I am not used to that kind of ego death stuff anymore at all and I am anxious about going far with that again.
