Looking in the mirror on psychs

I looked in the mirror while on 5 doses of LCD and saw my face turn into that of the devil's. I highly recommend not looking in the mirror on psychedelics.

I've seen myself as a vampire.

First off, expressions are over exaggerated by the mind while looking in the mirror trpping. I was looking in the mirror and I smiled big, and I naturally have pointy canine (cuspid) teeth. In just a few seconds I looked like a vampire. Looked like something damn close to Harvey Keitel, in Dusk till Dawn. I've tried it again during a different trip, and it works every time.
 
I've never heard that advice myself. I LOVE looking in the mirror tripping, especially on tryptamines because their visuals are much more 'flowing/morphing' than phenethylamines. Im always reminded that I'm an animal when I look in the mirror on mushrooms or miprocin. For some reason my perception of myself is animalistic. I theorize that this is bEcause I'm confronted by something super familiar, my face, but slightly altered, and thus alien.

I also find that my mouth is hugely exaggerated, being much larger than it ought to be. Especially if I smile I am astounded by how big my mouth is!
 
I find looking in the mirror while tripping to be a good way to measure how hard I'm tripping for two reasons. First, it's a quiet environment free of complicating external stimuli where I can reflect on my thought processes. And second by examining how much my face is affected by visuals I can further gauge my current state.

I love tripping with close friends in a social environment but I also find that taking a few minutes to myself once or twice while tripping is a great way to stay centered and self-aware.
 
First time I saw a mirror on acid, I was with a friend at KFC (strangely, my friend had munchies from acid). There was a mirror in the right and a glass window in the left, so there were 8 people: my friend, the two reflexes, and the 4 reflexes of reflexes. I had mental conversations with the other 7... Amazing!

Second time with a mirror was a bad trip. It was a small mirror in my house, already partly broken, but I let it fall and it broke more... I got paranoid about the bad luck I'd have, and seeing myself, in that other dimension, broken in 3 bits, was quite annoying.

So now I know mirrors can be quite fun or quite scary. Better respect them. Much like anything involving psychedelics ;)
 
if i'm tripping at a public place and there's a bathroom i'll go and check it out but if i'm outdoors in nature then i don't make any extra effort to find the closest mirror. it doesn't really trip me out much, it's just fun to do and watch your face morph.

lookin in a mirror on DXM is a diff story tho lol

Yeah some drugs just make you look real bad. Eyes all puffy, skin discolored and broken out. I think it is ok as long as you are prepared to know that strong psychs usually don't make you look that great, and that it can be a frightening experience. Then again, there's a first time for everything hah.

Of course the benefit is that you can use the opportunity to try and clean up, splash some water on your face, remind yourself to use some eye drops, and maybe even laugh at yourself.

^ Yeah I was going to say the only time I ever got freaked out looking in the mirror on psychs, I had taken quite a large amount of acid in the form of some very very strong liqqy, it was the first time I'd ever even come close to hitting a dose like this and thought I'd check out the mirror. I for some reason wanted to just open my mouth, the damn thing got so wide it was as if I was going to eat myself, it wasn't scary but it was definitely rattling.

The funnest thing I've noticed about staring into mirrors is I react to my reflection, and then see my reaction, and react to my reaction, and the loop continues for as long as I'll let it. It's pretty funny.
 
Agree and disagree. The first time I tried a psychedelic, it was shrooms. Looking into the mirror and seeing my eyes and mouth enlarge freaaaaked me out so bad; to the point of not wanting to go to the bathroom because of the mirror on the wall. Every other time I've eaten shrooms or acid, looking into the mirror was not a problem. Im sure it could freak someone out on a really high-dose of any psych, or on a first ever trip like I just described.
 
I think its pretty spooky looking at yourself in the mirror while tripping.
 
I ALWAYS end up spending a little bit of time looking at myself in the mirror when I trip on Mushrooms or LSD. I really don't find it scary at all. I watch my face distort, make fucked up expressions and just laugh at it.

It's way crazier having a staring contest with someone else on LSD. Now that's trippy shit.

I have actually never really done this, I don't really need to though, my best trip buddies we don't even need to talk to each other, it's like the thoughts come for both of us at the same time, so we start the sentence and end up just babbling and laughing at how the other person just realised the exact same thing.

Either way I'll give this a go on my next trip for sure.
 
The only psychedelic I've done was shrooms, and I don't remember looking in the mirror during those 2 trips. I'm sure that if I had, it would've been interesting - I was tripping on very high doses at the time.

I'm not sure DXM counts, as it's a dissociative, but 2 days ago I did over 1'200mg. I remember looking in the mirror and being unable to focus on my reflection. But when I finally managed to do so, I was freaked out by how insane I looked - my eyes were wide open (frighteningly so) and my pupils very dilated. My face looked strange, alien and grotesque. During some of my stronger DXM trips, looking at pictures of people (even those I usually find attractive) and looking at videos of people was a weird experience - they just looked like obscene collections of skin and sensory organs. There's nothing pretty or even human about them.
 
i think the reason your not purpose todo it is if your face does freak you out your stuck with it. There is a child's toy i couldn't look at for about a month the dam thing kept stairin at me
