Thank you for explaining. To some questions my coworker gave very similar answers. I guess the spectrum thing clicked for me though. I also can’t hold very detailed images in my mind for too long but for a while it usually works. I guess artists are really good at this. I remember having to learn knots for a boating license and I tried to practice some of the more difficult knots ‘visually’ in my mind the nights before the exam… That was super difficult to imagine correctly.
When I try to remember a route somewhere I have images of landmarks in my mind and I can almost mentally walk parts of the route. However, I’m very bad at navigating in general and that also often leads to me getting lost and then it’s more like vaguely feelings of “hmm, I’ve been here before” that lead me back on track.
Spatially I’m totally lost and I often get super confused how different paths are connected. My wife is super good at this and it’s often like she opens a portal and we somehow get from one place to another that where totally distinct in my mind.
What kind of psychedelics did you use? I’ve had some experiences as well. Good and bad ones. Almost no visuals though.
Of course, I’m glad what I said made any bit of sense at all. It’s fun to talk about even if it is difficult and even more so trying to write it out, but it was a good mental exercise for me.
Classic psychedelics I’ve tried would be LSD, mushrooms, and nn-dmt. I’ve not had a full blast off with nn-dmt, but I did flirt with it a bit where I saw transparent ribbons of color flowing out from my perspective with my eyes open. I’ve also done MDMA, ketamine, and 2cb. All of those have at some level produced closed eye visuals. The strongest were with LSD and the longest lasting when I took a half hit of LSD and then after hitting the peak of that I took .1g of mdma (candy flipping).
I don’t know that I would suggest candy flipping or any combining of substances any more, because even if the two substances are considered physically safe it’s more the potential mental risk that exists due to most combinations having a potentiating effect which makes the experience much more intense. I’ve had good experiences as well as difficult ones and at this point I’ve mostly laid off of the classical psychedelics, but will occasionally take a low dose of mushrooms once or twice a year.
I’ve had mushrooms several times with mostly good experiences and only a bit of ‘breathing objects’ visuals, Changa with a horrible experience, distortion visuals and noises, hawaiian woodrose with a horrible experience but no visuals and finally “edible” marijuana. Even though it’s not regarded as psychedelic and should have visuals I had visuals (closed eye intense bayes patterns) and it completely fucked up my sense of time. Since I tend to be paranoid on such substances it was a pretty bad experience since time seemed to have stopped and I wanted it to end. I also didn’t expect it at all since I didn’t have any effects for over an hour, then went to bed and woke up after a few minutes to these bayes patterns and time distortion…
