Hello my fellow psychonauts! Since there are so many questions about LSD and visuals lately there is one that came to my mind. Have you ever lost reality completly while tripping on LSD? I mean you see this and that and patterns and colors and some objects can catch your attention but reality is always there. I know for sure when you take DMT properly you can forget about reality as you know it, but did something like that ever happened to anyone on LSD? Even for a brief few seconds. I mean like you have been just suddenly on some completly different place that doesn't have any corelation with where you actually are in this physical world. You have Paramahansa Yogananda in his book Autobiography of a Yogi talking about manifesting on a different place while meditating. Please don't give me a lecture that visuals are not the only thing in LSD trip I know that myself but sometimes they help in overall picture. And yes LSD is not just for fun and pretty colors but mostly tool for exploring one's mind. Love you all!
hmm, well this one time I knew I was no where near where I was - so I guess yes. The most profound experience happened a few times in one sitting where I had no idea what I was looking at, I was looking at my vision but after a moment I would be lost in it and didn't recognise or have tactility of any shapes or colour - depth of perception melts away, but the best part is you watch it happen right infront of you. I knew I was looking at what I had been looking at, but I had no idea where or what it was – just staring into nothing. Its like you see it but you are looking so far beyond it that you cant recognise it. Recognition – I think that’s the key, cause you may recognise your looking at nothing (hallucinations) but its when you cant recognise or know what your looking at, that draws the line of a reality in the sense that we are discussing.
ya. Once I actually watched the room morph into a different building for a brief period. From white square apartment room, to some sort of gothic architecture.
It sounds like you're talking about being totally transported to another world, which is not what I think of when I think of "losing reality" on LSD. I've certainly seen people completely forget who they are, what they are doing and why, etc. I don't need LSD to completely lose touch with reality in the sense you are describing. I find myself in my "own little world" all the time when I'm sober. Then again, I'm mildly autistic.
A lot of psychedelic give me the feeling that my body is where ever I really am...and the inner me and my brain are out swiiming in some place that overloads my mind with information...LSD is one of these psychedelics. Whether you call that an out of reality experience or an out of body experience is upto you.
Ive gotten pretty close, I remember a sober friend sitting in a chair talking to me about the universe and reality and all that and as he got up and left the room dissapeared with him, next thing i know everything was gone for a second, and it was all very comfortable, soon after that though everything fell apart into a horrible hell trip where i would be trying to smile or ride the trip out and it only got worse, my friends became doctors and police officers and i kept changing from being where i was to being passed out in the street overdosing on meth or something, i never tried meth, but it was weird, it was like i was in a coma and everyone was trying to get me back and the last 5 years of my life had been a lie, anyways reality was pretty much gone and every aspect of life became a hallucination... i underestimated that cid, lol wish i could get my hands on it again now haha
What? Yeah, I'm actually going through the diagnostic process right now, and my doctor says that everything points to it except that my social difficulties have not been very great compared to the majority of people diagnosed with AS. But, I dont' really care about the official DX... I know that my brain is weird, and my strengths and weaknesses are very defined and are just the same as those of aspies.
i read about this guy in the 70s who used to do acid a lot. said he always went to this one place in his "mind", said it was like a ball at the end of the universe that he used to have conversations with. supposedly one day he took a thumbprint and he completely lost reality, he had to prey to god to stop tripping. so i guess the answer is yes.
Once on a trance party I was on a dance floor and I looked at a Dj box there was some futuristic image around him with futuristic buildings and flying transport around buildings (I accepted that it was really there ), smoke and lots of green lasers and a guy next to me had fantastic hairstyle he was even moving like a robot and that tripped me a lot for a second I believed I'm really somewhere in a future. And all those green lines from the laser as I was moving thru them it looked as I was jumping from one reality to the other. But that was on a trance party there is no way that you won't be visualy stimulated there especially if you are on the dance floor. Most of my time on LSD I'm surounded with people and many things are happening at the same time so I don't have much time to stare at something but when I do stare it's always morphing everchanging thing and more I look at it more real it is becoming but never to the extend that I don't know I'm hallucinating. Now imagine you took LSD and you are with your friends or whatever and than just suddenly without staring at something you are on a beautiful beach and you are seeing it like you are really on that beach. This would be complete change of reality. And you are enjoying at that beach for some time. This is what I wanted to know, has anyone experienced something like this just on LSD. We have stories of people talking with a vase thinking it's their best friend (It must be real when they come to this stage) but I've heard of them only on salvia, big line of ketamine and DMT are absolutly amazing but you know you gonna be gone baby gone with it. But never did I hear stories like that with people on LSD. Now imagine something like this is possible just with LSD than we could not talk about taking it and being in park or roaming the streets of your town. And if it is like that with thumbprint why would one want to do it except to escape from what it is, but isn't lsd one that teaches you how much whole life is beautiful?
