I hallucinate when I'm tired...

You can never do too much acid...

 

I've noticed this a little, I've done acid and shrooms once and I get them a little. It only happens when I'm zoning out or very tired, which usually happens in my language arts class. There are these huge grey tiles on the floor, if I stare at them they begin to breathe a bit, I've also go that with the trash can and the black lining on the edges of the floor and ceiling. It doesnt bother me, It stops as soon as I stop zoning out.

 

they are symptoms of HPPD (Hallucinogen Persisting Perceptual Disorder) but in order to have a clinically significant problem the symptoms have to impair the person's every-day level of functioning. so unless mild visual residuals stop you from going to work or school or cause you to be depressed, then you cannot be diagnosed with HPPD.

 

i thought i commented on this... strange.. ok

hmm anyways i do this too.. and i havent taken lsd or any drugs for that matter in 7 years.

i was a heavy lsd user / also dealer i'm talking about taking 10 hits each time 4 times a week for about four years.

With that said i still have trails a lot... i see stuff from time to time, the room breaths,you know patterns, basic stuff, and i don't think it will ever go away it hasnt gotten any less, its remained the same.

i told my doctor about it once and she had mentioned i probaly suffered from HPPD then she put me on paxil, but then i really flipped and then they also discovered i was bipolar.

 

I see stuff breathing once in a while (I just recentlty noticed this). And I have never done acid, shrooms, ect, but I do want to trip on those and experience it.

 

yeah i see plent of shit, its a little gift i got to bring back thats how i see it. my problem with hppd is that its just another label. i mean i understand that tehre are people with such severe symptoms that they feel like they are tripping throughout their day, and for that im glad there is research and help. but i think that calling visuals that occur when someone's tired "hppd" is what scares people into letting it make them depressed. they think they have a disease and have fucked themselves for life.

when i first took mushrooms i was flippin for a week cus i saw a few tracers and read all about hppd and got myself super worked up. eventually it wore off and/or i stopped noticing it. acid has given me after effects that would have convinced my i was crazy three years ago. its all how you look at it. come to think of it, i sort of remember seeing minor acid like visuals when zoned out on music even before i did drugs.

 

i used to eat mushrooms quite a lot and now i can always see kind of a background visual static. it looks like the static on the tv but its layered behind everything else i can see, thats really the only way i can describe it. plus i hear voices, i mean really actually hear them when i'm really tired, but i don't think thats anything to do with drugs. my brain is a strange place.

 

Maybe a little off topic, but....

Have any of you ever have a dream that you were tripping and it really felt like you were? The other might I dreamt that a friend of mine and I ate shrooms and we were tripping. I remember feeling like I really ate shrooms. It was awesome. I woke up feeling much closer to that friend. He did not have the same dream, though.

Once I had the dream with acid and after a little while aI felt like I started feeling the affects, but as it gone too strong, I woke up. I was really upset to wake up.

Anyone else?

 

The only time I "hallucinated when tired" was when I tripped on 4-way amber windowpane (1974). For about 3 days (maybe a week) afterward, when I became tired the walls would start rippling and "breath". Maybe I saw some tv-like time images and insights, floating in the air as well, but mostly the common wall "rippling" and "breathing". Luckily, they went way, but then, I was stuck with a "spacey" feeling for a few months. LSD is an emotional and mental amplifier, as well as an access to higher dimensions. I guess my anxities were amplified for awhile, afterward. I've had psychology and socialogy courses in high school and college, plus I have done self studies on psychedelics and psychoactive substances. Now, I mostly research "X-File" topics.


I'm glad I didn't suffer from HPPD , or what I call "perma-trip", which can happen from taking a single way-too high LSD dose and/or eating LSD like candy (i.e. taking LSD over a long period of time). I took weak acid and Morning Glory seeds on seperate times, and neither one produced after effects. Sometimes psychedelics can bring up a psychosis or schizophrenia, that would've took months or years to surface. A mostly "psychological" problem, not physical, as someone asked Dr. Albert Hofmann about the "LSD chromosome damage thing". He replied that "LSD causes NO tissue damage." Aspirin and caffeine carry more of a chromosome break risk (yet still a very low risk from these). So much for 1960's/1970's drug scare propaganda.

crystalstarr mentioned that she was given Paxil for LSD after effects. That was a bad choice, as Paxil effects serotonin (by increasing it, similar to LSD). Alot of teenagers have been given Paxil, went crazy and either committed suicide or shot-up a school. There have been lawsuits over Paxil's effects. Thorazine is usually given in this case, but that stuff is too "dopey" and it would just make you a "zombie". I don't care for that stuff, either. Stanislav Grof, M.D. does LSD psychotherapy, but he is in Prague, Czechoslovakia. The original legal LSD sources were from Switzerland (Basel) and Czechoslovakia.

Austin, Texas is believed to be the original home of "psychedelic rock", according to an old article in "CREAM" magazine. Have you ever heard of the 13th Floor Elevators (w/Roky Ericson) "You're Gonna Miss Me"? They produced the first psychedelic album. Red Crayola is from there too. Check out Sundazed records album: "Texas Twisted * Psychedelic Microdots...Vol.2 (SC 1109)". Roky Ericson ate too many peyotes and like some members of Pink Floyd, who ate too much LSD, spent some time in a mental facility. I wonder what "microdots" are? Texas wasn't too much into psychedlic rock, maybe country & western. Austin was more liberal, but the psychedelic rock movement went to San Francisco and florished, there.

My mother (who never did any illegal drugs, or psychedlics) would sometimes suffer from migraine headaches and would have perceptual distortions in vision (like "wavy" and "rippling" images). Seeing "flashes of light" also happens, but this can happen with mild seizures, also. That's how LSD was discovered. Lysergic acid compounds act as vasco-constricters (i.e. shrinks the blood vessels smaller), because some blood vessels in the brain have been dilated (i.e. made too wide) and put pressure on certain nerves, that causes pain.
For a short time, she used an LSD-like yellow pill from SANDOZ, containing Dihydroergotamine (an Ergot derivative). Dr. Albert Hofmann worked for Sandoz, in Basel, Switzerland, of course.

For awhile, I had some migraine headaches (rarely). Mostly I had flashes of light, but one time I had some "trippy" wavy and rippling visual distortions. I knew it was a migraine headache, as the pain exists only on side of the head (behind one eye). It was similar to tripping, but only lasts minutes, not hours. They went away, though. Bright light can set them off. So, migraines and some types of seizures, could cause these symptoms, also. Not associated to LSD! A CAT scan or EEG wouldn't hurt. I had a EEG once. It was normal, even though back then I consumed massive quantities of the magical herb. The brain and mind are both complex labyrinths.

Peace out and trip out.

 

I've been eating acid pretty much every weekend for a while now. When ever I look at outward facing corners of things, like corners you could hit your head on, not corners you could hide in, I see a either a blue or orange glow on the corner, the more light there is, and the more I concentrate on it, the more intense it gets. I like it though, more colour never hurts.

 

i believe that you may have hallucinated before ever trying acid when tired but didnt recognize it. after acid you realize what a tracer or the beginning signs of a trip are. your body doesnt need drugs to hallucinate. lack of sleep or feed, extreme stress. drugs are not intentional in the way that 1+1= 2. we have discovered substances that make our body react a certain way. LSD fortunately does not cause harm on the body like lack of sleep does but it affects the mind in similar ways. discovering how drugs affected my body and becoming aware of it changed getting high some. now i sometimes see it as a side effect of taking a substance. when you see it that way it does take away some of the spirituality that has been built in to psychadelic experiences. i imagine that when are brain truely does cease to function not just tricked into it by a drug we will experience a spiritual journey into the unknown. right now we can only simulate it.

 

questing400 (in these posts) wondered if anyone had any psychedelic-type of dreams? Do they even exist? YES, they do exist! And, YES, I have had them, but not recently.

These types of dreams are called "HIGH" dreams and you simply experience a psychedelic experience, while dreaming. Dreams are almost psychedelic, enough, but obviously, the dream and psychedelic experiences are different. Usually, you have to experience the psychedelic experience to have them. I've only had a small number in my lifetime.

If you smoke pot, then trip on a major psychedelic, this can sometimes make following pot experiences more "psychedelic". A similar situation to "HIGH" dreams?

DREAM ON . . .

 

I think being exhausted does that in general. Before i did anyhting i use to sometime go a few days with no sleep and i always heard voices and my vision was off. I think sleep deprivation can cause similar quirks to happen in your 5ht2 serotonin receptor. Many normal things in life can alter this, don't look to deep into it, just sleep and don't trip so much. If you do trip a lot, in my opinion, it's like your trying to live in a world that doesn't exist and thats not a good sign. Not trying to say psychs are bad or abusing them is terrible, but don;t let yourself become filled with a notion that you'll be much happier if you see things in a lsd glow all the time. If it still persists, it can help alot to unsaturate ur head from THC, give it a week and it will feel as if a cloud has been lifted from your mind.

 

peacelovebarefeet stated that: ". . . I got REALLY sick, and I had a 105 degrees temperature, and i tripped BALLS..."

My mother (who never used any type of psychedelic drug, in her life) got sick once (bacterial or viral infection) and while at the hospital, had a very high fever and had strong hallucinations. She said she saw God. Later, she painted an oil painting of the face of God she saw. I still have it (it's hanging on a wall, in my hallway). The face looks exactly like Russian paintings of Saint Nicholas! Santa Claus is sometimes called Saint Nick. It may have happened near Christmas time (but I was a little boy, then)!

When I've had high fevers, it doesn't happen to me, but it DOES happen to many people, most who have never used any type of psychedelic drug.

That's one problem with acid trippers, they have a psychedlic-type experience and automatically assume it to be a "flashback". Yes, some type of acid flashbacks DO happen, but it may also be: migraine headaches, high fevers and/or panic anxiety attacks. If you're tripping all the time, it's called schizophrenia. The purpose of these posts is to learn new things. As an "old" hippie, I try to educate the young, but whatever choices you make, YOU are responsible for them. Choose wisely!

Peace, love and understanding . . .

 

thanks, cosmicdust for that answer. I was starting to think I was alone. I wish I could somehow have these dreams at will...but for now, I'll take the seldom surprise.
