hey, i've got a couple of weird questions. i took about 5-6 grams of high-grade mushrooms a few days ago, (the most i had taken before that was 2, and even that was pretty intense) and had a pretty weird experience. i don't know if this fits into philosophy or psychedelics, so i'm posting it in both. i started the trip lying on my back in complete darkness, eyes closed, ethno techno blazing in my ears through some headphones. i lost partial consciosness at some point, but wasn't completely out. i couldn't move my body at all, and though my eyes were closed, i couldn't tell. i felt like i was seeing through them into another world. at some point there were to creatures standing right in front of me-so close that if they were breathing i would have felt it-but they weren't. something told me that if i reacted with fear they would react much the same way as a wild dog would. i stayed calm and perfectly still while these creatures seemed to look me over, not knowing what to think of me. if any of you has ever seen The Dark Crystal, then you have some idea of what they looked like. after this scene seemed to dissipate, tears started streaming uncontrollably and constantly down my face. a drum beat began to play in my ears, and to my surprise, my abdominal muscles began to spasm to the beat-so strongly that it was extremely painful. i turned on the lights and looked at my hands morph into an odd, pointy elven shape. i saw flashes of other creatures that looked this way, and the words "The Drew" flashed over and over in my head. i felt that at some time in the past i was one of these creatures, and shared a kinship with them. they seemed to love trees and anything wooden so much that they actually seemed to be part wood-or part tree. next i lost control over most of my bodily functions and some how ended up in my backyard-pissing all over the place. i went in to the bathroom and threw up-forgetting that i had taken a berry concoction before to help with my circulation during the trip. it came out completely red, and i was convinced i was dying. i accepted this quite readily, got in the shower to keep my body warm, and i remember stating to god that if this was my time i was glad to leave, and if it wasn't, i was glad to do whatever work i still had on earth. at this point i leaned back and collapsed with the water pouring over me. this is when something happened that i don't really understand. i've partially experienced this feeling before-upon being made to pass out at parties for fun. the first second of awakening from passing out, i've always experienced very vivid light and colors-along with a vibrating feeling all throughout my body-for the first split second of consciousness. after that everything returns to normal, and i'm in the room i started in. this time, noone made me pass out-i entered into that state on my own. the other thing that was different was that it lasted much longer than a split second-long enough for me to wonder what the hell was going on. when i try to remember all that happened in this state, it's like trying to recall a dream. i remember being surrounded by people who i knew-or at least they knew me-and i was definitely not in the shower.when i snapped out of it the water was running cold and my entire body was shaking uncontrollably. i dragged my half dead body to my room, stripped off the wet clothes i had failed to get off before getting into the shower, and laid there wondering what the hell just happened to me for the next 4 hrs-till my mom came home and started screaming about the wet clothes in the hallway. i have typed this here in the hopes that someone might be able to explain to me any of 3 things:1. what were those creatures who i saw through my eyelids. 2. who are "The Drew". 3. a reasonable explanation of this state of awareness where everything was extremely bright, vivid, and quick-not to mention who these people were and how i found myself in a room rather than my shower. i've been doing my own reading, and have some ideas, but this experience has forced me to accept that i am only a beginner, and there are many things outside of my knowledge. i would appreciate any help, and if you are just going to tell me i went temporarily insane, don't bother. everything about that night was more real than anything i've ever experienced.
Wow, looks like you had a fun time there. Write in paragraphs and such, I keep losing my place in the story.
o man if i saw some shit from The Dark Crystal i might just freak out. hahahaha. ok but yeah, that trip sounds intense answers to questions 1-2: hallucinations answers to question 3: you were trippin (harder than you ever had)
