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?
