LSD flashbacks caused auditory association?

[Omnz]

Howdy guys, I'm a bit new to bluelight and haven't posted much but have an interesting phenomena that I was wondering if anybody has any thoughts on or stories related to?

Almost a half a year ago I had tripped straight through the span of about a month (about 32 hits of LSD and approximately 10 grams of mushrooms, usually separated from eachother, one time a hit and a half and an eighth). I never took doses exceeding two hits of acid or four grams of mushrooms. I've grown a lot since then, and realized that it probably wasn't a smart idea in the long run, but I could never regret the experiences, euphoric or demented because they shaped me into a much stronger and more in-tune person. 8)

As one could imagine, there was a span of time where I had an "afterglow" which was excessively long, about two months strong; it especially intense when smoked herb, which even included visual/auditory flashbacks and I had a few mental meltdowns where I thought I had destroyed my mind but the afterglow faded and is now barely there.
However, there is one occasion that I still have closed/opened eye visuals as well as overwhelming sensations of awareness/melting/dying and even the "cosmic vibrations" as I call them; and that is when I play music (either that I recorded or wrote and sometimes just songs that had "meaning" during my trip). It's not bothersome, usually, but is overpoweringly there and undeniably in existence especially if I'm playing a live show and the crowd starts melting or if I'm hanging out with friends who are "straight" and a song of mine comes and I start going back to those realms while trying to communicate with them.

Does this mean that "flashbacks" can occur simply from association like a traumatic experience, even if the experience those those associations are linked to aren't traumatic in any way shape or form?
Lemme know what you think/insight/personal stories that could be related, it's really been fascinating me lately

Much love,

**correction; it was actually about a year ago, probably around last March I believe.

Whenever I smoke herb I find it easier to slip into that awesome psychedelic music appreciation place. It got to the point where I couldn't let myself smoke and just kick back and listen to music on a regular basis, because I would spend waaay too much time doing it.

I don't think you are having flashbacks. That's probably not even a good term to use or think about because it will only lead to "is this a flashback?/was I having a flashback?"

Just think of it as the psychedelic part of you

But this seems to happen even when I don't smoke herb. It just happens if I play a song that I wrote or recorded during that specific month long span and a very select few that are just songs a friend played for me or something.
I do understand what you mean though, it is just a trippy part of me I spose 8)

I almost ruined some of my favorite albums like this. Now, every time I hear certain music, I am taken back to this intense psychedelic headspace. I wish I could just appreciate the music normally. But the images I see are pretty, so at least it's nice in that way..
It's just hard to focus when you see shit like that..

I know the feeling brother,
like I said the audience melting when I play songs I wrote that month was a really distracting hallucination, the only negative part of it imo is I wrote over half my music whilst tripping that month, thus half of my music makes me get visual distortions..
however, it does make for very inspired/interesting music I spose
