Broke From Prison? (Possible Insight Needed)

So this being my first time I've ever experienced Salvia, I stuck with a rather low dose (5x I believe, but it had a higher Salvinorin - A content). Prior I did research and read all the available databases as well as read experiences. However I was no where near ready for what was about to come.

I started with a small bong snapper - Results: A body high and that's it.

Second bowl I added more - I felt a cool pulling sensation on my legs

After relaxing and mental preparation, I was ready for self exploration (mentally I told myself I was going to fight what was inside of me, which in retrospect, I believe it is what caused my trip)

I packed a big bowl in my bong and sat in my bathroom. I started to milk it and took it all and held it in.

With each heart beat I could feel a vibration move across from me. I gazed into the mirror and braced on for dear life. I don't remember how long It took but when it hit me, my head and eyes were pulled down to my tile flooring. What was this? What is going on? There were faces of unrecognizable people, and .. they were speaking to me? I sat there in awe as they pulled me further in, and what they told me startled me as much as scared me.

"You belong to us" The face wasn't scary looking, but it was definitely a "what the fuck moment" this is when I stood up and sat on my counter, with the door partly open. I remember mentioning my friend who was my sitter (in my head) "She belongs to us" NO! I couldn't move, it was as if my legs were shackled down and my head forced to stare into 'its' eyes. "You belong to us" My subconscious was speaking for me. All I could do was think NO, I do not! My sitter was then called by me (I don't remember this) and was standing there as I was looking with a shocked expression ... down at the floor, then back to her. Fingers were taking shape in my blue shag carpet, a sea of them. The person in the floor has imprisoned me, I must break free, I have to get out of here, wherever I am. I stumbled out of the bathroom after fighting for what seemed like hours, and walked to escape to the front door of my house.

I could still sense the presence of whatever was in my floor all around me, it was frightening. I believed I would never go back to normal, I was to be stuck in here constantly breaking away from him. I sat back in my room and could only say "what the fuck" or "holy shit man" I had forgotten what I did to be sent to a hellish prison. It shook me to my core, but also gave me great understanding on what it was. Before doing this I knew whatever was stirring inside me, it would come out and I would be forced to confront it. Perhaps my mindset is what forced it out of me, but I felt so relieved after it settled down.

My understanding is of this: I do feel physically and mentally shackled where I'm at, everything I've ever known is here where I'm at. Currently I'm making a decision to enlist in the Armed Forces, and this is causing my inner-most turmoil. I broke free of them to escape, and that is symbolic of my decision to leave.

However who or what the people in my floor where, is not understood. They seemed almost human, but demonic in a way. A being of no origin that I could understand. Perhaps next time I decide to smoke salvia, I will be in a happier mind set, and not so anxious to see what's inside of me.


Thank you for reading my experience, travel safely friends.

 

Good report. Sounds like a Salvia trip to me. Many people experience contact with some type of entity or other during a strong or breakthrough trip. These beings you encountered in your floor are all part of the trip, I don't think anyone knows for sure how they come about or who they are but it is a very common occurrence. Although many users share common experiences (the "gravity," the entities, the feeling of merging with inanimate objects) Salvia is a very personal experience and it's all up to you how you interpret it. It sounds like you have a pretty good idea of what it could mean to you but don't expect to make perfect sense of it right away. Hell, I'm still finding new meanings and interpretations of a trip I had over 6 months ago...

 

They were right when they said salvia tends to turn your normal world into shit with the flip of a switch. I didn't know what the hell was going on, I just remember I'm sitting here and being imprisoned.

Though next time, I intend to just let go, I fought hard and won that time, I want to see where it takes me though.

 

Yeah, from what I know I think a lot of the difficult and chaotic experiences come from not being able to let go. Although I fully intended to "let go" before smoking Salvia, once it was in full swing I had completely forgotten I'd even smoked Salvia. I blacked out for the first portion of the trip, it felt like I was waking up from a deep refreshing sleep, I expected to open my eyes and be in my own bed, but instead I awoke to a strange land filled with bizarre things and beings I'd never seen before, but were strangely familiar in a dreamy sort of way. I was merging with and becoming these bizarre objects I was seeing all around me. I panicked and fought, and by the time I came to the conclusion I should just let it take me, I was beginning to come down and reintegrate. I think Salvia is a very difficult one to let go on, unless maybe you practice by taking small bumps here and there until you're accustomed to each level of the trip. But I've read once you break through, it's hard not to go all the way every time...

 

In retrospect, I believe my first two bowls were level one, and the third bowl broke me through to level 2.

This based off of reading about the different levels of Salvia.

I could be wrong though, I'm not experienced enough with sally yet.

edit:

Mind you they were OPEN-EYED hallucinations. which is what caused such great fear.

 

Yeah, in a strong trip or breakthrough, you will have full-on completely immersive "realistic" hallucinations, audio hallucinations, etc... My eyes were open (though I don't recall even having eyes in Salvialand), I was speaking bits and pieces of intelligible language, and I was running around trying to "escape" but I certainly was not seeing the actual physical world around me (my living room at the time).

 

I recall me understanding I was in my bathroom, but it was as if it was something else. I felt a presence there that I did not understand. It was eye opening and definitely sparked a newfound respect for this plant. I intend to try it this weekend. though in my bed, laying down, with some music.


edit: Were you able to speak regularly during it? My language was reduced to facial expressions and mumbling

 

I could vaguely hear myself saying "NO... wait... what? Wait, wait.. What? NO!" although I didn't realize it was my own voice at the time. It was like the sound and sensation of speaking was completely dissociated from the rest of my body... well, the vague sense of "body" that I had in the trip. What I spoke was later confirmed by my trip sitter.

When it was my trip sitter's turn to go, he had an issue with the floor as well. I think he said that's where he could sense his entities and he could feel himself emerging from the floorboards when he was coming out of it. He was rolling around on the floor a lot during his trip. I felt completely submerged and felt my entities all around me. It was like every object around me had taken on a life of its own and was stealing pieces of me and I could feel myself becoming part of those things.

 

Wow, that explains what I felt to the T. Even after I broke out of my bathroom I felt everything around me take me. it was insane.

My sitter was coming down off her dance with sally (was a small one), she said she heard babbling in the bathroom which made her look to see what was going on. She didn't know I smoked a bowl in the bathroom so she was a bit shocked.

 

The amount of similar elements of a Salvia trip from person to person is fascinating. I love comparing notes with others who have had strong trips and breakthroughs. People may use different ways to describe the trips and sometimes it's too abstract for words, but there are always at least a few similarities that just make you go, "holy shit! me too!" I've gotten chills down my spine reading some of the TRs around here and Erowid.

 

To better explain, it was as if I felt the manifestation of myself all around me. I have lived in this house for 6 years, and of those 6 years I've gone through a lot of triumphs and downs.

Great stuff.
