Acid trip in a Tent

After about a week of planning and anticipation myself and several other friends dropped 2 hits of acid each and one shroomed.
Before I start out let me describe the setting. Among my group of friends, none of us had any empty houses to fry in, so we had an idea to set up a tent. We brought out an extension cord about 75 ft from the building and plugged black lights, a plasma light, and a computer (for music and winamp plugins) in. It was fairly cold out at this time so we packed blankets and a heater in as well. This was NOT a good setting, for reasons I will explain later.
As the night started out, we all were very excited and eager to trip. As it started to hit us we joked and played and had generally a good time. I was experiencing some VERY cool visuals. Tracers were a lot different from my previous experiences. As I waved my hand across my face it would drag into shell patterns (repeated trailing images of my hand) similar to those made by the mouse cursor on a laptop screen. I would stare at the computer screen for a second, then look away and the world would suddenly transform. Any object I looked at would be textured in whatever I just looked at on the screen. Because I was looking at designs on the screen I had a very good time.
As I was coming up to my peak, I started talking less and less. Partly because I didn't want to and partly because I couldn't. I was thinking so many things and experiencing so many feelings and sensations that my body was practically overloaded with things. There was so feelings being input into my body that I couldn't output anything. This is when I lost contact with reality.
One of the things I have learned about being on acid is that you constantly have to be talking to people or communicating in some way otherwise it will drive you crazy. As I said, this is something I wasn't exactly doing. Many things happened to me when I was out of reality, most of which I can't remember. I remember small glimpses and chunks of things, but mostly just confusion. I kept thinking that there were people outside the tent looking for us...each time that happened my heart would drop the the bottom of my stomach and I would feel horrible. The world around me was in constant motion. I would just lie down and everything around me would spin and flow in a spiral pattern. I heard voices and saw people that told me to come with them. I was torn between a choice of abandoning my life and going with them to a higher existance, or coming down and living my normal life. I kept on trying to choose to live the higher existance but every time I did something would go wrong and I would feel like I was falling back down.
Eventually I came back to reality slightly and I looked around and all my friends look fine. I thought that their trip had ended and that several days had passed and that I was going to pay some severe consequences for choosing to stay out of reality that long. Eventually as I came down I figured out that everyone else was coming down and that I was pissing everyone off because I was still so confused about reality. For a period of time I wondered who I was, where I was, and when it was. I was just completely confused.
We went back to a warm house and I spent awhile thinking about what had just happened. It was more of an educational experience for me. It was entertaining, mind-expanding.....but it was slightly discomforting. The experience gave me a new respect for acid.
 
heh woops forgot to explain why a tent wasn't a good setting.
Okay it was extremely cold in the tent, even though I didn't notice it much my friends did. But the main reason was that..the tent walls were always moving in and out. One second the room would be small and the other it would be giant! There was a full moon outside shining through the tent, very trippy. It looked like a UFO or something. Just trust me...at least when it's cold....a tent on acid can be kinda scary.
 
Sounds like fun, although I see how that could be scary at times. You should have walked around that is always fun.
 
I have been in a tent on acid, and I kept telling myself and partner that it was a church, and I still remember vividely the butreccess, the windows, the pews, the bit where a choir goes, the bit where the priest talks from, but I loved it (i was warm and very content) scared the shit out of my partner tho'
