man that conjoured up some freaky imagery.
if this happened could you please tell the story?
and lucid dreaming is cool, you're mind awake and free and weird
Hehe, something like this did happen to me, on my last classical psych trip. I had taken 2c-e in the morning, followed by 4-ho-dipt an hour later. I was performing an "experiment" to see if combining 2c-e with 4-ho-dipt would have the same euphoric and visual-explosion affect as 2c-e + cannabis. I didn't like having to smoke weed, so I was seeing if dipt was a good alternative. Anyway...
Needless to say, the 2c-e + 4-ho-dipt sent me off the cognitive deep end. The visuals were obviously quite intense, but the thought loops were really troubling me. It turned into a "bad trip" about an hour after dosing the dipt.
And then, just in case I wasn't stupid enough already, after the dipt wore off (it's a fairly short acting psych), I decided to celebrate my return to reality by smoking my really strong weed...
Within a few minutes, my entire visual reality was being continuously deconstructed before my eyes. I couldn't even tell if my eyes were open or not, because if I stared in one direction for too long, the visuals went from normal -> distorted -> cartoon -> crazy indescribable fractals within a few seconds. And I was on the cusp of complete ego death, possibly even reaching ego death. And keep in mind, this wasn't DMT where it only lasts like 10 minutes. The weed would last an hour or more.
So once again, I was having a bad trip. Except this time, I'm almost completely dissociated. I can't see...Hell, I can't even feel my body anymore. And all I hear is a loud buzzing noise. And my thoughts are loops of pure panic.
Wow, this is turning into a long story. I'll get to the sleep part:
That night after everything wore off, I was still experiencing massive HPPD. And every time I tried to fall asleep, I got to the edge of sleep and then I would suffer a horrible flashback and jerk myself back awake. But by that time, I had taken a few benzos, so I couldn't even stand. So I had no choice but to close my eyes again and drift back off to sleep...FLASHBACK! Wake up...can't move too tired...drifting...FLASHBACK!
In the end it took some liquor and being awake for about 24 hours straight to finally put me down and I only got about 2 hours of sleep. I was up early the next day and was feeling the worst anxiety of my life and it lasted a few weeks.
Oh, but I do like lucid dreaming! Or at least I did, haha
