Bathrooms

What the hell is it about bathrooms that make it seem like you are tripping 50X harder than when your in any other room?

 

The reflections...

 

Mmm the only time i have felt uncomfortable is in a bathroom.
I think coz its small and confined. The walls seem to get closer and closer.
When im tripping everything is telling me to be as free as possible. Bathrooms dont help this.

 

I like lookin in the mirror and watchin my eyes bug out and a shower is always a experience when your peaking.

 

i think it has to do with the reflections, echo, sudden feeling of isolation, and the fact that tiles often push some design into your mind from all around.
bathroom can also include bowel movements, which really pump blood around your body

 

dude thats pretty much my safe zone on acid. The silence and isolation make for a great get a way if you need the time to get through any rocky parts of the trip un-noticed.

 

idk bout acid man, but on shrooms i had a bad trip and the bathroom tripped me the fuck out!! i seriously hallucinated so hard but not in a good wayy, next trip was decent though and i was in the bathroom for like 1 hour at the peak, it was awesome so idk how i feel about bathrooms, i guess it just depends on ur mood, SHOWERS ARE NICE WHILE TIRPPIN.

 

The first time I did 'cid, I had two hits and no real visuals. Then, I went into the bathroom and saw little multicolored bugs running all around the floors, leaf-like patterns slipping through cracks in the tiles, the lights outside the bathroom were off, and I could see darkness pulsating like a cloud under the doors. I felt as if I should have been scared but I wasn't. I merely sat on the toilet for a good long hour just watching the bugs running around the leaves and watching the darkness seep like paint upwards from the bottom of the doors. After pooping (which I hate doing on acid but always end up having to do at some point throughout a good long trip. It makes me feel dirty) I examined myself in the mirror to see that I had psychedelic colored ribbons on my skin over where my muscles were, this particular hallucination hasn't ever occured again, even on 5 hits of the same stuff... I really am not sure about bathrooms but I also know, that the first time I got high the bathroom had me weirded out too. Every time I went to pee, I felt like a giant in a dollhouse bathroom. Maybe its becasue bathrooms are such interesting places, we tend to do somewhat private things in there. Maybe since we're used to the privacy of a bathroom we get into our heads a bit more than when we're in other places. A lot of bad trips I've heard about also start with someone who isn't feeling well going into a bathroom and then the trip gets progressively worse. I think that bathrooms can be great places while tripping since they seem to intensify everything, but it can also be a double-edged sword. Bathrooms can also intensify bad vibrations and can make for a negative trip. Like I said, I felt like I should have been scared when I started seeing things in the bathroom, but instead I was more entertained, amused, and actually I found it almost beautiful.

 

i think it has to do with all the bright lights in a confined space. i know it def trips me out to b in my bathroom. and it really brings out my roll too.

 

Bingo. Bright lights and reflections.

 

What about a dark Port o Potty at a festival?

 

haha yeah, there is nothing better for a trip than a hot, humid, claustrophobic plastic cell that is filled with piss and shit and reeks to high heaven.

 

the wallpaper in my bathroom is a lattice of moocows and neer the ceiling there are cow balereinas i love going in there every time im tripping it makes me laugh

 

Bathrooms seem to be my safe zone on any drug. I don't know why. The first time I entered a bathroom on L.S.D. was when I realized, "Whoa. My apartment is ALIVE."

 

dude a shower is so fucking amazing at the peak of an acid trip. my second trip was the best of my life...right as it was kicking in i burst into uncontrollable laughter for god knows how long and as i was on the floor laughing i saw a little white rabbit run across my kitchen floor really fast and then i jumped in the shower and it was spectacular. every time i closed my eyes i kept seeing this big cavern-like thing full of light and it kept changing colors. then i grew like 12 feet and everything started spinning around so i got out. when i opened the curtain and looked in the mirror it looked like my body was melting it was so cool..then as i was looking at my pupils they got bigger and bigger until my entire face consisted of 2 giant black balls for my eyes and my smile outstretched so wide it extended around my pupils. i threw some clothes on and ran outside into another dimension of time..."everything appeared as though it were newly created."


edit: looking in the mirror is one of my favorite things to do on psychedelics...with the exception of the bad times...like when i saw a huge hole blown threw my stomach and half of my head was missing as though i had been shot point-blank with a shotgun

 

it doesn't even matter how hard you try

 

i was going to write a real response til i read this.

and "wutthe4k," you must have some GOOD acid to be seeing those visuals.

 

i think a lot of deep thought and not much negativity happens in bathrooms. i know i hardly ever choose the bathroom as the place to go when i'm angry, when i want to confront someone, or when i'm being mundane and stupid. it's a good place to go to clear your head, to pay attention to yourself, to relax. it's a very honest place without much clutter. it's a kind of feng shui thing... the energy sticks.

 

Are you saying my response wasn't a real one?

 

no i am saying it was the best explanation of what i would have said.

(geez, right after i post in the "mis-communication thread," here comes a perfect example)
