Hallucinating visual words and phrases on drugs

ha, wow, thanks for that! Just goes to show the interconnectedness of all things ;)

I couldn't figure out what ATD might mean either.. it felt like there was meant to be another letter on the end that i couldn't read because it had burnt off or was too cryptic. loving your interpretation though!
 
The last time I took 2C-T-7 the words 'More Than Alot' were printed behind my eyes constantly in a similar fashion to a rubix cube.

It was there for the entire 20 odd hours I was tripping, I spent ages trying to work out what it could mean. I later found out that it was the name of chase and status's album.

must have been your brain telling you how much it loved you <3

or it was telling you how much drugs you took to trip out for that long lol

Been ruminating on this lately, and seems most of my most intense visual drug experiences have involved clear closed-eye luminescent 'graffiti' of seemingly random words and phrases, or 8-bit computer style random poetry generators. Even on low doses of things, woodgrain looks like it has writing in it that must be deciphered, and sometimes I see the words I'm speaking as I'm saying them.

Is this common? I do tend to be rather word-based generally.

Yes.

I LOVE IT.

On 2C-E I get luminescent graffiti as you would put it - like 70's bubble writing, and a shitload of faces (like stencil graffiti style).

On 2C-B I get these squares with letters in them, like coloured boxes with letters on one panel (or more, I obviously can't see the back of them ;) ).

Always OEV's though

Yeah, I tend to have letters and numbers as the primary component of my OEVs, along with faces and animals (particularly horses, for some reason unknown). CEVs are a different story -- those are more abstract and geometric.

Apart from the horses and animals in general - this is exactly me on those 2C-x's, on LSD and 4-AcO-DMT, and DMT - I get matrix lines connecting everything, kaleidoscoping images and with the latter sacred geometries and deity iconography.

God I love tripping <3

I have never been able to read the writing though, to my recollection.

I more get open-eye visuals of words than closed-eye. Particularly on otherwise untextured surfaces; but often the whole visual world will be built out of words. Often words beginning with 's', for me; no other connection apparent. :D But the dress on the person in the painting on my wall generally acquires indecipherable word-like characteristics.

I guess, if this is very common, it may be to do with automaticity of reading (as demonstrated by e.g. the Stroop effect), and a similar propensity to see words as one apparently has to see faces. :) We see, and need to recognise, a lot of faces and words in our lifetime; it makes sense to be hyper-alert for them. I guess psychedelics can tip that hyper-alertness into ultra-hyperalertness and make you see them vividly when nothing is there.

This was very interesting.

I don't get writing on anything else...apart from 2c-x.

Boom, back again with some more MDMA/MDAI/sleep deprivation lucid dream type experiences..

Reading a realistic version of Facebook/reddit/etc on the inside of my eyelids from a field..

Questions and thought trains that I was going through in my head were experienced precisely as if I'd posted the question to a forum and were reading all the replies off the screen.

This giving way to gibberish English, similar to the Lorem dolor ipset thingy. Looked like English word shapes but the letters were nonsense, kinda making it look like Dutch... one of the words that I liked especially, I tried my hardest to remember for after the trip - 'azgarborough'. I typed it into Google to see if my imagination had produced something real and was halfway through reading the results on the search page before I realised that I was still in the field and it wasn't really Google...

Last time on L I got CEVs of words comprised of random ass letters (English alphabet). They would always be in a zigzag pattern. They kinda just pissed me off because I was trying to read them, which was hard because they were in that zigzag pattern and liked to move around a lot, then when I managed to figure it out it would be something like EKPELWF.

I get this exact phenomenon pretty much every trip I have, not just LSD. It gets too frustrating to try to decipher them so I just let it go and enjoy looking at the random ass letters now :P
 
I used to always see graffiti style writing over walls when i first started doing MDMA..

On 1000mg dxm I somehow passed out and woke up when I was peaking and hallucinated snoopy the dog right in front of my face.. Followed by a paragraph of text from a website I go on
Click to expand...

funny cause the same thing happend to me on dxm. i passed out and woke up all fucked up. but as far as seeing letters and symbols, yes, but no more or less than other OEV's. when you wonder these types of questions, remember, the trip comes directly from your mind. what you see directly depends on first, whats in your mind, and second, whats going on around you.
 
eatcod said:
Cool. I should have asked the inverse question too; does anyone NEVER get this?
Click to expand...

Never gotten it.

Infact the opposite, words lose all meaning to me and I can't really comprehend them at times as my thinking goes completely out there its all conceptual.

I may hear a word and just laugh about how its nothing more than a commonly accepted label for an implied meaning, but physically consisting of nothing more than a loosely familiar set of sound waves.

Womp womp womp everything eventually just becomes energy to me mid trip, even my thinking... internal monolog is replaced by some abstract form of emotion and image based thinking.
 
During my first LSD trip I had CEVs of numbers and words in bright colours falling down from the sky like soft, gentle rain.

Salvia invariably has this as an aspect to the experience for me;I'm always becoming letters at some point in the experience. Somewhat similar.

I was once a part of the word "Everything".

I was the dot on the i


Should write a TR.....

Dude, I've had this EXACT same trip/visuals, but also some other funky stuff happened during the come up and come down. I feel like EVERYONE will get this same trip effect if they do salvia enough/breakthrough. 8o Although it was scary at first, now I've come to grips with it and it fits into my spiritual beliefs.

Man salvia just seems like a confusion spell you're casting on yourself by smoking it! =D
 
Psychedelic symbolism is incredible, for me some highlines were (not very originally):
- everything is in it's right place
- you have to have trust in yourself to get trusted by yourself

I've seen the motifs of this but "visual graffiti"? Eh let me think.
 
^ One of the reasons I wrote 'not very original'.

Anyway the thing about clichés and platitudes is not only that you see them around everywhere but also that they address some deeper sentiment of perennial wisdom of sorts. They've been said ten million times and guru's and hippies are great at them, so yea yea I know I know. But when it comes down to it, the type of thing that I see before me when I take a big rip of DMT is something along the lines of 'everything is energy, energy is love, love is everything', etc. The rest is just ineffable. It won't solve the grand unified theory of physics and won't win any originality contest, but hey... that's just what I see when I go to the core.
 
i've once had a trip with a lot of words on different surfaces (mostly wood, tree barks). the most common words i remember were "ACID TRYP" and "LOVE" but there were many more. interestingly it was all caps and always english, which is not my native language...
 
Words all over my skin were the first visuals I ever got on my first trip (LSD). It was BEavis n butthead print blotter - those were the days..
 
last night i was tripping and i closed my eyes and saw my living room, but sadly no words.

my day will come oh i know it will...
