so im sure everybody has heard the old "dont look in the mirror on psychedelics" line. anybody else completely disagree with this? when i did mushrooms i wouldnt say i had a bad trip, but i definitly went to some dark places during my trip, however looking in the mirror was awesome. i remember seeing myself, and just thinking shit...thats me and loving it. then last night on acid i looked in my mirror and i looked completely different than i normally would obviously and it was amazing (as was the whole trip). anybody else agree with this? btw, i am not at all narcissistic or anything, i just felt this great acceptance of who i was on both shrooms and acid.
 
I've never had someone tell me not to look in to mirrors. Mirrors are fun to look at whilst tripping.
 
Yes it can kill your body/face image :) When the ego is being crushed it is hard to look in the mirror and not sort of freak out in a way, at least the first time! What is really weird is to look at a flat mirror laying on your in-table when you are on your couch.....the mirror tends to dissolve into a liquid form.....that is when you know your psych has kicked in!
 
it fucks with me a bit. its fun. but then i see how distorted my face look/seems to look. and its kinda weird.
but its also how i figured out how the visuals occur.
 
It's the same for lucid dreaming. It could be really cool, fun and interesting... or it could always take a turn for the worse. My eyes make me feel like an alien is staring back at me, plus my pupils will contract on their own with one always being bigger than the other.
One time on AMT me and a group of friends put a mirror of the floor and looked into it and we all saw ourselves are children.
 
When I first started tripping back in the early 90s everybody I knew told me this. When I'm high and I see a mirror I still think "uh oh" instinctively, but I love the mirror! I like watching parts of my face move and breathe. My pupils are also usually two different sizes, which sort of freaks me out but in a cool way.
 
there is something extremely paranormal feeling about staring into your own eyes. i have never felt more spooked or curious than staring at myself while tripping hard.
 
I've stood in the bathroom for hours on acid, shining a flash light in my eyes and watching the irises contract.
 
I dont mind staring in the mirror, it makes me laugh cuz I look all weird. One time on DMT I decided to stare in a mirror and my face turned black and then there were eyes everywhere, it was rather interesting
 
looking at yourself and others in a mirror is unusual on shrooms and acid. i agree with theotherside

i've looked at myself in a mirror on an very high dose of acid and broken down all perceptions of what i thought i look like. i now have a very different perception of my appearance, just completely different than how i saw myself before. You could say it freaks you out at first when you completely shatter your ego but in the long run it can be really useful for breaking down physical illusions.
 
The only psychadelics ive done are mushrooms, and they kinda freaked me out while looking at myself in the mirror. It was pretty cool at the same time, but I just got out of their hella quick cause I felt a bad trip coming on. For some reason, I felt like I was a drug addict for taking mushrooms (Obviously taking mushrooms a few times doesn't mean your an addict, the mushrooms just gave me a weird trip), and as I looked at my face, it was almost like a saw a flash forward of my life, and saw what I would look like if I became a drug addict, my cheeks started sinking in, started looking more and more sinister, fuck idk,
 
i started tripping at 16 and was told not to look at myself in a mirror especially in the eyes as you could freak out,
i went on to many times tripping fixed on my eyes in the mirror,
i used to love looking deep right into the tunnel, amazing how far in you could see
 
^the eyes are the window to the soul man...especially if you're trippin. Haha

Fun trick, took into the mirror and hit the light switch on and off really fast. Fun visual. :)
 
I have a lazy right eye, and my aesthetic issues with it come to the forefront while tripping. I feel that I look unintelligent and it's hard to hold my own gaze.

Which, of course, is an excellent reason to do it :)
 
I find it pretty wird on acid/shrooms. Shroom's more so though. At a high dose things are just straight up bizzare and it feels like im looking at the mushroom beast within(which is the shattered ego)
