Hey y'all.\\\
Amongst some reading I was doing tonight, I came across a few reports of experiences smoking salvia divinorum which reminded me of something curious I (and numerous others, I'd imagine) had come to experience and think on, and that is:
once having smoke salvia, there have been tons of subjective reports of reality, and all that it encompasses -sight, sound, smell, but primarily vision and touch- being split, divided, stacked, multiplied, "unzipped" otherwise separated into "layers," "stacks," "levels," "strips," or any other scenario in which multiple visions of reality in its entirety seemed to stack on top of/side by side/in front of each other. My own experience years ago, for relevance, took place behind one of these strips - I would blow out the smoke, and reality would freezeframe as if someone had just taken a screenshot.
\|I would then zoom out but no longer from my own perspective as i would see myself staring blindly as everything I knew, including myself, began to shrink and multiply. Suddenly, I could see seven or eight instances of everything that I could see and feel stacked on top of each other, rotating like an old film at the cinema. The trip, for all intenive purposes, started with this view of reality being segmented and stacked and my subsequent journey in through one of these different (though seemingly identical) "planes" and would finish with me being sent back out and into my own reality plane.
now, obviously, since this is such an unfamiliar phenomenon, not everyone could describe it identically - and I doubt that two different[pillow] people would share the same experience entirely[/piillow[/] but the striking similarities between different trips leads me to believe that there is some sort of familiar absurdity at work here. I would wonder if any agonists of the kappa opioid receptor sites that deliver similar effects? I haven't read too too many DXM trip reports but perhaps people have noticed similar "layering" effects during their experiences with DXM. Any thoughts or, better yet, similar experiences (because now here comes the flood of people who haven't experienced nor have ever read a report about such 'layering' to make me look like a madman) would be great!
