Sober OEVs | Tripping on life

Remember when you were young? Maybe there was a time you laid down and looked up at the sky on a sunny day, looking at the few clouds, trying to recognise patterns or images in them.
Remember your first trip? Maybe you noticed things that weren't there before yet weren't hallucinations- things that existed that you just didn't notice before.

Remember now.

I've only had 2 trips, yet since those experiences, I've been able to see what would become an OEV.

Examples:

I have the most boring carpet in the world, it's just a plain brown carpet made of super cheap material, looks like a door matt really- yet since my trips, months and weeks after them, I could be sitting listening to music and just relaxing taking a break from doing something and staring down while I think, then I would notice the patterns emerging a la the psychedelic experience. They don't change colour much or move but they are definitely highlighted and come into focus more as I concentrate and meditate on them.

I was standing at a bus stop waiting for a bus, cold and tired, on my way to work, staring, thinking, not really paying attention, and part of the road started to highlight with psychedelic patterns. In this case, the patterns don't move again but they do seem to turn more psychedelic pink (the second most occuring colour in my CEVs and OEVs after green but definitely not a natural colour, it was psychedelic pink). I snap out of it and try to find the source but it's not there, the pattern isn't a bump in the road or anything, it's smooth concrete with no oil present (which I thought could possibly reflect the colour I saw).

Oddly enough, I never see CEVs although I have started seeing shadows of hallucinations when closing my eyes on MDMA.


Is it possible I've lost part of my sanity or have I gained something forever from my experiences? I think the latter and so it is. My mind enjoyed seeing these patterns while I was tripping and has learned to see them when I'm sober- the mind is amazing.


Do you have any experiences like this or feel like you see OEVs when completely sober at times?
 
on one particularly intense acid trip a couple years ago i saw these crazy swirling paisley type patterns on my buddy's garage floor (it's just a plain grey concrete floor with nothing on it). ever since then i still see them when we're chilling out there, not as intense or blatantly obvious as when i was tripping but its as if the image was imprinted in my mind and now i just kind of automatically see it.

don't worry you're not crazy :)
 
It's just memory. I can't look at grass without immediately associating it with the constant, robot alien lizards I see on a nice dose of psychedelics.

You can't unsee what you've seen :) I always figured it's not HPPD unless it's bothering you, but hey I'm no neurology expert.
 
Thanks Toucan :)

Tangein0 I don't think it's memory, it's usually new. I think it's more like my brain has learned how to pick up the patterns and when I'm in a certain mood my brain is able to do it without the "push" of PDs. Luckily it's not very often at all, it's usually some pleasant surprise when I'm bored.

I'm a way off HPPD :P

Still, I've only tripped twice. The 3rd time might not be for a while because I don't really get space to myself for long enough because of living arrangements. Hopefully I will have time to trip 2 or 3 times during summer :) I'm looking to do a combo of 4-HO-MET&DiPT&MiPT, some 25c-i-NBome and maybe some LSD if I can get hold of it :D Perhaps if there is time or I can't get some of the others I will try shrooms and make a start on the traditional trinity of PD, shrooms, LSD then DMT :D Quite a way off those I think yet

Well, there you go, you said it yourself. And Tangerhinoceros has a fair point too. You can't unsee it once you know what it can also look like. For a time - in waybackistan - I had the greatest difficulty in not seeing floaters after a particularly impressive 5-MeO-DMT trip. Eventually you'll shift back to your usual perception and wish you'd see them again. ;)

I'm not trying to be pedantic or anything, but if you've only tripped twice before and already have some lingering effects, wouldn't you want to explore those substances on their own first before combining? If you don't know how you react to these substances alone, what's the point in combining? Just sayin'... take it easy, you've got the rest of your life to experiment.

Perhaps if there is time or I can't get some of the others I will try shrooms and make a start on the traditional trinity of PD, shrooms, LSD then DMT :D Quite a way off those I think yet
I would say that the holy trinity consists of LSD, psilocybin and mescaline. Classics, yo! :)
 
Not sure if anyone still follows this thread. I took some 25i-NBOMe last month and all of the symptoms of my HPPD have subsided since that experience!

Thanks for the replies and showing me to the B&D HPPD thread
