Are all hallucinations REALLY hallucinations? One of my favorite things about Psychedelics is examining & attempting to define the mysterious fractal boundaries between unfamiliar zones of sensory intensification, and actual 'hallucinations' As some may remember from 'back in the old days' there is a certain mid-range dosage level where there is just increased perception, with very novel effects to the experimenter - but no hallucinations or non existent scenes or objects ........ At first I was disappointed(!) That i didn't see the kind of 'hallucinations' i had heard about ... fantastical bizarre things, then i realized others were describing a very complex process in a simplified way, or lacking in words & neurological concepts to describe their experience.
I see it as having 8 or more levels (based on a good bit of ... errrr .... uh, 'research') 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Yet, for me, even the rare occurrence of a stressful, paranoid or delusional sequence within a trip is not such a bad thing. 6. First some background ... 6-a. 7. 8. Why and Why not to Trip on Psychedelics. Taking Mushrooms, LSD, Peyote or DMT is not something I would recommend to most people ... without first having a a thorough discussion of any previous or current mental illness, incl. Epilepsy, identity instability, schizophrenia, PTSD, bipolar & manic depressive disorders, family history of mental problems, acute anxiety problems, or for anyone already on psych meds of ANY type! *Do not under any circumstances take ANY psychedelics AT ALL if you are taking a prescription MAOI Inhibiting medication.* Folks with most all of these conditions can still benefit from psycedelic-assisted therapy, but they should avoid self-experimentation and/or only take hallucinogens under carefully & professionally supervised, thoughtfully prepared conditions.
If there was no major history of, or overt indication of mental/neurological problems .... I'd have an in-depth discussion of their motivation for seeking a mind-altering experience of such magnitude and intensity. But the flipside is ..... Wiki Articles. Sleepyti.me bedtime calculator. First time DMT experience report. There is no way to represent what one sees, but the images on this post are trip-art that i had previously saved, & I carefully chose the ones which most closely resemble a faint suggestion of what i 'saw' in the lux of the mind's eye. 0.0 Seconds I raised the pipe to my lips and inhaled, holding the flame a bit away from the bowl, being careful to let it sizzle and evaporate rather than waste it by burning too rapidly. 0 Minutes, 3 seconds I held in the smoke until it was all absorbed into my body, when i exhaled no smoke came out but i caught a glance of my cat, 2 seconds into the trip she was already fractalizing into a Louis Wain artwork.
Jeweled & neon snake-like patterns began to slither and slide above and under her fur. She looked SOOO weird on the way into the trip ... Like ribbons of light twisting along her fur & following every curve. A graceful neon bio-robot made of alien snake-flowers! 0 Minutes 5 seconds I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

Claude de Contrecoeur (cyrano@aqua.ocn.ne.jp) This work is dedicated to my cherished Hiroé Aquasaca, from Kasoukabé, Tôquiô, who gave me the inspiration to share it with other exoreal people.
Had I not met her, you would very probably not be reading this study! It is also dedicated to another cherished Chinese girlfriend of mine: Patanîe Pongpatchamnanouàte from Souqsaouate, Bângkoc (this work is also dedicated to my dear friend Cyrano de Bergerac, a brillant thinker of the 17th century). Both are my inspiration to inform you about this important work. What we call Amour (love) is an extraordinary hallucination, and from such beautiful hallucinations things can be born into the exogenous reality ... like what you are going to read.
It is far easier to enjoy the virtual reality in your own mind than to try to enjoy primitive virtual realities generated by computers! Scientists have been engaged in big projects to unravel, for instance, the entire DNA structure of the human genome. Magic mushroom’s positive effects lasting over a year, say researchers. By Eric W. DolanWednesday, June 15, 2011 16:45 EDT Scientists at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine claim to have determined the proper dose levels needed to create positive changes in attitudes, mood, life satisfaction, and behavior that persist for more than a year with the psychoactive substance in so-called “magic mushrooms.” The findings are the latest in a series of experiments done at Johns Hopkins to investigate psilocybin, a psychedelic substance contained in certain mushrooms. The findings were published online this week in the peer-reviewed journal Psychopharmacology.
“In our laboratory, weʼre working with the pure chemical psilocybin, which we can measure out precisely,” he added.
