Hi there
I got hold of some salvia dried leaves to see if it would open some doors for me - and it did, so I thought I would share it with you.
Description:
Location: Bedroom
Time: Approx 11pm
Number of observers: None
Salvia type: Dried Leaves
Method: Water Bong
Ambience: Silence
Seating Position: Lying on bed(face up) with eyes closed
Approach:
I took several hits that evening after each 'coming back to reality'. I cannot say how long each one lasted for, but I would approximate around 10 minutes duration in each. What follows is my attempt at trying to convey what I experienced in general, rather than any one experience.
Outcome:
Although I could visualise non-sepcific surroundings with my eyes closed, I clearly knew that I was not looking through my own eyes, but rather just seeing things from a particular point in space as an observer.
My perception of dimensions and spatial awareness changed greatly. No longer could I see/visualise in simple 3 dimensional terms, and by that I mean a simple x,y,z type configuration.
The best way for me to try and convey how things appeared was is if you could imagine our 3D dimensions being mapped onto a curved surface (like that of a sphere). Depending on the direction that my gaze would take me, my perspective would change. Where things once looked like being on the outer edge of a sphere's surface, it would now seem to be curved in a way that made it look like it was now on the inside of a surface. By trying to move the direction of my gaze, my surrounding would twist and turn in such a way that made it seem that the fabric of space was flexible, rather than being hard and rigid like we think it is.
Often I would try and look down from my observation point, but it would simply make my surroundings move away from me in a curved way (as if on the inside of a sphere).
To clarify your understanding of the sphere; the sphere is not visible, it simply is how the curvature of my surroundings would appear to me.
I also clearly remember me thinking of two important things at one point. So important that I knew I had to write it down before I forgot it. So I obviously had regained self-awareness at this point. I wrote down two sentences.
1. football shaped dimension (sphere)
2. corkscrew through time
Although it is clear what the first statement is referring to, I do not understand what I was trying to convey with the second. Obviously meant something to me at the time. I did a search on google in case others have thought the same thing, but have not come up with anything.
It is very hard for me to convey my feelings on this to you all. Reading through my transcript here, I know must seem rather vague and aloof, and I know much will be lost in translation.
I went into this experience to hopefully learn something, rather than just 'getting high'. I am unsure what I have learned, but I certainly can't stop thinking about it. I wonder if it means anything at all.
If any of you have had similar experiences or what I have said has struck a chord, please do share. I would like to know more.

) with a rather large bowl. I packed the bowl to the top and took the biggest hit i possibly could. I immediately began tripping, which is very similar to DMT; both of their trips begin upon inhalation. I find that DMT progresses more slowly into the trip, while salvia goes fairly faster, which may make it scary for some people if they are unprepared. If done right, salvia will provide a very intense experience. As i continued to inhale, i started to lose touch with reality. I slowly began to drift into a world where i was no longer aware of my surroundings, and a totally new setting appeared. In this experience, the world that formed around me was like a cartoon show setting. Colors were very bright, yet monotone. While i was lost in the experience, i was laughing hysterically, and i mean hilarious, and for a good portion of the trip i had no idea that i was even laughing. I had also fallen off the chair i was sitting on, so it was a very good thing i had a friend with me to catch the bong from falling! Several minutes later i was pulled out of my different world and dropped back into reality, where i found myself on the ground laughing. There was a mild afterglow, similar to that of DMT.
