I took my first tab in March. after that, i saw the patterns i had seen during my trip after i smoked up. if i concentrated hard enough, i was able to make it move a little bit. and before i go to sleep, if i think of the acid trip/pattern, im able to visually SEE with my eyes closes a portion of the pattern in a wavy manner. a good way to describe this is that it was as if i was staring into a small hole of acid pattern, surrounded by darkness caused by the closed eyelids. none of these affected me in any negative way, except i was scared and afraid that the acid had after-effects very different from my other friends'. our similar effects were that if we stare and focus at a ground, it would look as if is breathing and this is all without acid. then i took my second tab at the beginning of may and that was when i had negative thoughts and such. after that trip, whenever i would look at a convoluted pattern or a grainy surface, the acid pattern would slowly emerge and at times would wave with slightly rainbowish colors. OH ALSO. when i took shrooms mid-May, i saw more vivid acid patterns/trip and couldnt really distinguish the shroom trip. it was as if i was tripping on acid when i had taken shrooms. and the acid pattern that i could see when i focus with my eyes closed seemed to reveal more of its ground when i concentrate more. these acid moments also occur more often when im physically/mentally exhausted and tired. im very curious as to what these could entail or mean and whether ive been blessed with the ability to activate a very minor trip with mere concentration and memory or cursed with a weird acid trauma. if more details are needed to answer my query, ill be happy to post more! thanks :sunny:
Potentially it could be both. Many attempt to achieve a visionary state via meditation, sensory deprivation and other non-drug induced practices which are generally regarded as beneficial and insightful. However this example below doesn't really sound too appealing... You can look into HPPD and flashbacks, they are generally held in more of a negative context but usually they pass after a period of drug abstinence. It's very interesting to me how smoking pot for instance can elicit a flashback type state to acid for some, as they have different pharmalogical mechanisms. So I suspect that the patterns, visuals, etc. Can somehow get stored to memory and resurface upon certain altered states. Mushrooms are a Hallucinogen themselves and have many similar effects as LSD on the brain, they also can vary in potency, so it could be that you were simply experiencing the direct affects of the shrooms.
"Suggestion" is very powerful a bunch of friends standing around hyping each other up about how the ground looks like its breathing if you stare hard enough . . . is gonna make the ground look like its breathing, especially if you're tired and more susceptible to suggestion
