Anyone else been hearing voices in the instruments after over doing psychedelics?

[uncle stinky]

Anyone else been hearing voices in the instruments? Things advanced pls advise me

Moved up a notch, now having conversations with myself. Comments sought


I am wondering if I am alone in this? They are remarkably consistent and germane to the music in question, not personal stuff related to me. Don't want to predjudice things but is there an unreleased David Cassidy Album which attempted to insert subliminal messages to encourage people not to do drugs?

Not exactly, but I have had much morphing of audio signals, esp higher pitched sounds. Flutes are all of a sudden strings, are voices, are back to flutes. No distinct voices though, it's just wordless singing, it's a quite pretty effect for me.

There is now a voice in all music, in the television, even in people sometimes. It speaks directly to me; it is myself.

I've heard voices in music whilst tripping, but never after. LSD appears to be the most potent agent at causing this effect in my experience.

I've never experienced what you just described, but I've had psychedelics turn the random ambient background noise of whatever I'm doing into weird space music. I was on my way down from a hefty 2C-E trip, and I was lying down on my couch and I could hear traffic and birds, and the hum of the refridgerator in my room, and a bunch of random other stuff (my sense of hearing felt very amplified during this portion of the trip), and it was all mashing together in my head and it sounded like really strange bizarre music.

It was most enjoyable while it was happening. I guess it was kind of like synaesthesia, but the sensation never really boiled over into my other senses.

I've had soem pretty intense audio distortion from 2C-E. At high doses they really pick up more, but a lot of phasing and flanging, and sometimes an echoing delay.

Last night I heard Physical Music instead of just the Language for the first time.. It was slightly electronic haha. Wonder what that means..

I've not experienced it after taking psychedelics but while on 2C-E I experience a lot of sound distortion, including the morphing of sound into words and phrases, so sometimes an entirely instrumental song can appear to have clear singing in it. I find it rather strange that when talking about 2C-E most people refer largely to it's visuals, when to me the visuals do not compare in the slightest to the extreme auditory hallucinations I experience.

I often get the undeniable feeling of hearing something indistinguishable and knowledgeable whilst tripping only to discover they are not the objects I had perceived. The most spectacular at this phenomena would be n2o during the reintegration to Earth and your ears are readjusting from "WAHHHH music WAHHH" back to just music and that sort of stuff. Sometimes I thought I was hearing the craziest noises that could possibly be experienced by a human only to come back and realize it was a fan or a computer humming/other appliance.

Not after the trip, I've only experienced it whilst under the influence. Crystal clear conversations which my friends have had, coming through the speakers of my music station, my headphones and also just in my ears. One time I even told my friend what I had heard him talking about, only for him to confirm what I had said was true (I had not been present in the original conversation). Weird.

You should consider the possibility that this may be a latent mental illness emerging as a result of psychedelic use. Not to scare you, but this is a real possibility, there's something called ideas of reference that schizophrenics experience where they hear voices and secret messages speaking directly to them through music, television and other media. This sounds exactly what you are experiencing. Especially if the voices are telling you not to take drugs, I'd recommend totally avoiding psychedelics. One of my friends had a similar experience during a period of LSD use where he thought there was a 'secret tone' in an album he liked a lot and would listen to it endlessly. Since then hes developed ideas like he can see someones entire sexual history in the wrinkles of their face and developed all kinds of paranoid delusions, he is definitively full blown schizophrenic now. I am in no way saying psychedelics cause these problems, but they definitely reveal and exaggerate them, and trust me a few more trips is not worth a lifetime of psychosis.

first bit of genuine sense in the thread

as a person with bipolar i found that lsd really over exaggerated my tendency to feel meanings hidden within things but it never came over as voices, more just a godlike insight that only i had as a higher power to realise things in a state of love and bliss. really just bad mania

There's an unreleased David Cassidy album?! Man, what are they waiting for, and will it have a fold out poster for my wall?

Sorry, the words "David Cassidy" actually spun me back down a time-worm hole to a long forgotten childhood and I'm still re-integrating.

I do believe a certain percentage of what I have heard is actually there but only present when perception is heightened. I'm sure some sort of vocoder type effect at the subliminal level can be achieved with digital recording technology. (I would appreciate somone who is on a good strong dose of something giving a listen to anything of Tim Smith's, particuarly Sing to God part 2. See if anything pops out. I suggest a good familiarity with the material first and a strong constitution as it can be a tough listen. Especially if what I am hearing is even a bit correct but no hint to skew the sample)

Latterly, however, my own messages have been coming through and these are definitiely not on record, although they are real (for a given value of real anyhow). Mostly they consist of pretty sound, if somewhat hectoring advice to stop taking psychotropic chemicals for a good long period, to be more considerate and to be a better person. It doesn't feel even a bit crazy, just like having a conversation with the better angels of my nature. I live alone and talk to myself a lot in any case so this may just be an extension of that, using the relatively quiet interior self-dialogue channel which I seldom need as it all get's done externally so-to-speak.

No great cosmic secrets though. Interestingly my lecturing self seems better at navigation and spotting things than I am which is odd and maybe suggests some hemispheric split?

All opinions interestingly accepted

I thought my voices were going to take me away, but the whole thing culminated with me being told that this reality is the real one, and that I am the only one who can make myself better and happy. They were my internal angels, and I'm forever grateful for the experiences. Still, I'm pretty glad that the self-referential ideas are fading.

And now that I'm feeling a bit more sane, I've done some more research, and I do believe that these beliefs may be a new forming connection between neural hemispheres.
