I started writing this report several months ago, and just found it unfinished on my hard drive tonight. I did my best to finish the report - here is the result.
I am particularly interested to know if anyone else has experienced the WOOSH phenomenon I describe. Please post comments/theories if you have any.
I have taken mushrooms several times, however this only the second mushroom trip report I have written. My typical does is between 2 and 2.2 grams. I’ve always felt this to be a good dose. It makes me very introspective and does not give me much of a body load. I get some nice mild OEV and very interesting and detailed CEV.
It has been quite some time since I have taken a good trip. I was married a few months ago, and I am I not comfortable tripping around others (including my wife). It makes me feel very goofy and makes me lose the focus of my trip. My wife is still in school and was working on a big paper that was due, so I told her I was going to take a big trip and asked her not to bother me.
Typically during my trip and I lie on my living room floor and have my stereo playing music. For this trip, I decided I wanted to seclude myself (I’ve been listening to Terrance Mckenna the last few weeks on the Psychedelic Salon
).
I made 2.6 grams of mushrooms into a tea. The strain was B+. I asked the magical brew to help me see into the future and connect with my past. I used mint green tea, a little honey, lemon, and a few shakes of ginger for my tea. I drank down the tea in a few big gulps out of a beautiful handmade mug. I had originally planned to take 3 grams, but I chickened out when looking at all the mushrooms on my scale. Guess I’m a conservative guy.
I went into my bedroom and lay down. My cat followed me and in and laid down with me. We were comfy and cozy. I was a bit apprehensive because it has my largest dose to date, however, my cat was purring and relaxed next to me. This helped me relax.
I stared up at the ceiling for about ten minutes, waiting for the effects to start. I closed my eyes and let my mind wander. I wasn’t feeling anything, so after what felt like about 20 minutes I opened my eyes to see if anything was happening. I looked at the clock and noticed it had only been about 5 minutes. I looked at the top of my closet for a few minutes. It was starting to wiggle ever so slightly. It was bigger than it should be. I relaxed, knowing the mushrooms where coming on.
Things began to take on a bit of an atypical turn here. I can usually recall about 85-90% of my trip very clearly. I have a hazy memory of most of this one. I’ll try to piece it together as best I can. I remember staring at my ceiling and walls for about 20 minutes while I waited for the head trip to start. Things seemed about of proportion and wiggly. Not my normal visuals, and they seemed off. I had to really focus on things for a long time before anything would happen. It was very subtle.
Since I wasn’t seeing what I hoped, I closed my eyes to focus internally. My visuals looked like an inverse charcoal painting the whole time. They where completely black, with the objects being a shimmering white. I went through several stages of where I saw only animals in a 2D plane. The animals were flowing and morphing amongst various organic scenery, one at a time. The first I saw was an elephant. I’ve always been drawn to elephants. I think they are beautiful creatures. He wandered about for several minutes, then morphed into a tiger. The tiger was absolutely stunning. I remember seeing his face and hearing him growl. There were a few other animals between I don’t really remember. The next I recall is a spider. There were dozens of spiders in my vision. Crawling all around one massive spider whose legs took up my entire field of vision. This was all extremely “fluid.” I don’t know how else to describe it. At one point, a tiny snake head popped up into the bottom left of my vision and asked why he wasn’t included.
Things took a bit of a scary turn. I had a sudden rush and wooooosh! I was hit with a wave of magic, it scared the shit out of me and I shot straight up in my bed with eyes wide open. It was like a jet flyby. You hear the distance rumble, then out of no where, bang zoom! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgoDi16t1YE). I have never smoked DMT, but from descriptions I have read it almost seemed like the rocket ships to hyperspace.
My heart was beating out of my chest. I lay down and tried to clam myself. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before. I began to think the mushrooms were just beginning to show me how powerful they are. I thought I had seen all they had to offer. I was wrong. I started to feel the mushrooms pulsing through my veins. I began to connect with them. They implied I would see something few people have been shown during this trip.
They began to guide me to my inner most mind. I felt my head in the stream of global consciousness. The mushrooms began pushing my chin up. My head felt like an egg being squeezed through a hole just a little too small for it. Eventually, it popped out the other side. I saw a long tunnel in front of me. In it were hundreds of other minds, trapped along the walls of the tunnel, just like mine had been. I saw one other mind being brought up out of the wall and a few flying down the tunnel. I stayed put where I was, my mind was not quite ready to fly down the tunnel. I felt a rumbling rustle in my head. I could tell I was about to have another jet flyby. My whole body began to vibrate. WOOOOSH! It happened again and I shot up in my bed, breathing heavy.
Again, I tried to relax. I closed my eyes and focused on my breathing. I felt my cat press her head into me. Immediately, I felt an imprint of her face flying up my leg and into my brain. I saw her face in my mind and was connected with her mind for a brief second.
I felt my body begin to vibrate and rumble again. I focused on it this time. I figured if I could focus on it, I could ride with it. I was right, for a bit. I stuck with it. It was the mushrooms, taking me were few have gone before. I followed them down into the forest. Looking up, I could see the caps of other mushrooms, grass, and trees. I had been accepted as mushroom, but there was more. I could feel that we were just guarding an entrance to something… a mushroom lair. WOOOOSH SNAP! I was out of it again. I hadn’t realized, but during that whole time, there was a loud humming buzz sound in my ears. I was snapped out of it and my eyes popped open once again.
<Note: I stopped writing here and forgot about this trip report for a few months. I am just coming back and will try to finish as best as I recall>
I lay back down and tried to relax. I closed my eyes and called out to the mushrooms. Asking them to take me back and give me another chance. After several minutes of quiet the mushroom did come back. They escorted me back through the forest, down to the mushroom lair. Only this time they did it very slowly. It seemed to take ages to get back to the spot we were before. They were extremely hesitant. They showed me the door to the mushroom lair and told me I could go no further that day. I would have to make another attempt sometime in the future, after I had learned something. They would not tell me what I had to learn. I still wonder.
I don’t really recall what happened after this. Probably after 30 minutes or so I decided to venture out of my room. I went and found my wife and sat across the room from her. I felt very strange seeing another person while still on mushrooms. It was a first for me. I found it uncomfortable to look at her and I felt like she was constantly staring at me. I would occasionally burst out in neurotic laughter. We started playing MarioCart as I came down.
