first flashback

[MisterMorningGlory]

i had a really intense flashback today. I was driving on a 4 lane highway when it happened, I looked down at my spedometer and when my eyes went back up to look at the road, a void opened up and all i could see was shiny brown and neutral waves for a few seconds, luckily it was pretty short but kinda freaky nonetheless, anyone else had flashbacks?

every time I close my eyes, friend

[omshiva]

my life feels like a constant acid flashback.

[rygoody]

I prefer to call them flash forwards

[Kramazing]

every time I close my eyes, friend

i love getting the feeling of tripping again without taking anything, its like a cheap thrill.

[skullkidnate]

Only flashbacks I have had:

1) On the toilet, saw the rug moving

2) Playing xbox at a friends, his ceiling looked like it was moving

[ShadyGrove]

If those are considered flashbacks, I experience them daily. I usually have at least one perceptional alteration throughout the day. I also have my own personalized television, great when your bored. I notice my "floaters" all the time now and they even change shapes and patterns. Also when I just focus on any one point for some time I usually will start tripping on it but when my concentration is broken it slows and stops. So those are some of my usual "flashbacks"

EDIT: I totally forgot but weed intensifies it every time. Usually when I get high I get light visuals nothing real intense unless I get severely stoned.

I had my flashback at walmart.....
the hair spray sneezed. Scared the crap out of me

[Mr.Writer]

I experience them daily pretty much, and although they are sometimes dramatic, they are always very short lived, under 2 seconds.

[aliced]

I experience "flashbacks" everyday. Not really a big deal, its just something I have learned to except and even enjoy. As previously stated, MJ increases the amount/intensity of "flashbacks."

[36fuckin5]

You goddamn people. Flashbacks DO NOT exist. What you're seeing is a combination of placebo, less-than-perfect eyesight and normal distortions.

HPPD? Fuck yeah it happens, albeit rarely. But you will know when you have it.

[ShadyGrove]

"Flashbacks" always have been a touchy subject here. I never really call them flashbacks because that's not the feel I get from them. They're just perceptual alterations. HPPD, is a whole different subject though...

[Demature]

HPPD? maybe i do have it...but flashbacks i have to say are real. in the span of time when i was doing a lot of cid and shrooms and rolls, maybe twice a week i would be lying in my bed at night and the cieling would turn into a rainbow strobe light and my blanket had giant moving tentacles. i have no other explanation for that

[36fuckin5]

HPPD? maybe i do have it

No, you don't. If you did, you wouldn't question it. De-personalization (similar to ego loss without drugs) feels like nothing else. It's completely debilitating.

but flashbacks i have to say are real. in the span of time when i was doing a lot of cid and shrooms and rolls, maybe twice a week i would be lying in my bed at night and the cieling would turn into a rainbow strobe light and my blanket had giant moving tentacles. i have no other explanation for that

HPPD. Look up the symptoms and causes. Number one cause is binging on hallucinogens. Number one symptom is visual distortions. And it doesn't last forever.

You goddamn kids keep fooling yourself into thinking you have HPPD like it's cool or something. You exaggerate your floaters until you really believe you have visuals all the time. It's hypochondria, and it's not healthy.

[ShadyGrove]

I was definitely not trying to imply that I have HPPD. I know I don't that's why I didn't even want to go into it because it truly is a whole different subject than the "flashbacks" or whatever the hell this topic is. This happens every time someone brings up flashbacks in a post.

[Demature]

at least i'm not a dick..haha

[GoodVibes1]

yea dude chill out. i dont have HPPD, but i definitely have flashes of random light, increased floaters at times, random auras, and sometimes heavy textures move.

am i faking it to be one of the "god damn kinds" you speak of? nope they just happen.

[unfocusedanakin]

A friend of mine had this poster of the girl from Evenessence in his apartment, and I became very fixated on it during one trip. It just all of the sudden seemed like the best art I had ever seen. And for about 2 weeks after everytime I looked at it I would start to trip again. Not near as intense though.

[TheMadcapSyd]

I remember my 1st flashback, I was taking a shower and for a few seconds it was like gold petals were just bursting out of nowhere and they were everywhere and just started falling like glitter. And I was like man that was weird. Then I got on with my shower

[36fuckin5]

I never said that anybody was faking. I was saying that you read up on the shit & worry about it so much that you make it happen. I did it myself for a while.
