Sensory Deprivation Experience

[Egg]

There were many forum sections this could go under.

(For the unfamiliar, this is where I suggest you start.)

I'm not here to give a detailed report unless you guys want to know, but if anyone has any questions, I'd really like to get into a discussion.

My prerogative here is to give others the opportunity to ask questions (especially those that relate to my demographic) about the general experience and what it was to me.

I floated in a Tranquility style tank that was very clean with a hydraulic lid
I floated for ninety minutes. This length of time really made me appreciate how others can let go and forget but others simply cant.
I am a young male, between 19 and 22 years old, with some Hx which include but aren't limited to: Major depressive disorder (unipolar, melancholic), ADHD

​

That being said, if anyone is thinking of going into the tank, I'd be more than happy to engage in a discussion about logistics (of a float experience), goals, questions, or anxieties.

Best

I've used sensory deprivation tanks before. They're interesting. I was not on any drugs at the time and yet it was still very psychedelic.

I've done it a couple of times in London Bridge/Floatworks. Never got any real introspective experiences from it, though this was during my cannabis smoking era (was not high at the time). It did totally relax my body, alter my posture for a couple of days, and leave me feeling recharged. Unfortunately it wasn't 100% silence.. I could hear the deep rumble of the london underground tube trains every now and then.

Would love to have my own tank though.

I'm really interested in trying this but I don't know where I'd do it.

Couple questions:

1) Where do people usually do this kind of thing?

2) How much does it cost?

3) Can anyone who wants to do this do it?

4) What are the experiences like? Do you get visuals? Do you have really unusual thoughts?

Thanks

This is something that I intend to experience as soon as possible.

I think I'm going to buy one. Does anybody know of good tank vendors?
