Bathrooms

haha...i like this topic...that is interesting, i too am tripped the fuck out by bathrooms....I've had good and bad experiences, so i'm not sure really how i feel. I was in Laos tripping (on shrooms) and i was in my bungalow in the middle of the night, having one of the most intense trips of my life...i could feel it spiraling into a bad trip and i rember after a time just finding myself in the bathroom, and i felt very safe. it was nice

 

yea dude that was the first batch of acid i ever purchased from, and it was the best as well. they were gel tabs. that particular trip that i mentioned was my second one and i had done 6 tabs.

i was lucky enough to make three purchases before the batch ran out and then i never got acid as good again. i've gotten good shit after that but it never came quite as close. plus, the effects have been alot different from batch to batch. i've come to the conclusion that those gel tabs were probably almost pure LSD and i consider myself extremely lucky to have gotten them. the last batch that i dosed from didn't feel quite pure. it felt like there was some LSD in it but other unknown stuff as well. but whatever it was made me literally go insane for about 4 hours, nearly get killed, and had the worst trip of my life. so that has kinda steered me away from acid now. however i have been considering maybe doing like one tab of some decent shit for a good time, but i don't see myself ever really doing alot again.





i take that back. next year when i go to schwagstock i might dose pretty good =] only because there will be so many people around for help if i need it and because it's in the middle of the woods with no civilization for miles. no speeding traffic. its hard to picture anything bad happening you know. plus, there were some factors that caused my bad trip last time, and they are pretty obvious to me now but weren't at the time.

well i've been babbling and this has turned into a really long post, so sorry about that.

peace man

 

the bathroom in my downstairs has wallpaper with like 700 owls its just eyes staring at you from everywhere....i like tripping in bathrooms just not that one haha

 

haha ive noticed this as well. whether its the toilet that never seems to stop flushing or ur face completely distorting on the mirror it never gets old

 

this thread is getting me all hyped up...i can't wait til i do mushrooms on friday =]

 

Haha yeah I was about to say, If you thought I was making a joke... you need to slow down on your acid.

 

i just thought that was a good thought, the bathroom is a private place so it makes sense that we get inside of our head in there...

i just realized how unclear my first post was.

it was meant as a compliment:cheers2:

 

if my bathroom mirror could talk it would probably ask me why i spend so much time with my pupils dialated staring into it looking at myself.

 

i always notice that i'm having a very visual trip in the bathroom. i think this is because its a very empty space with all the same colours so you dont have alot of visual input.

 

my bathroom has some trippy floral wallpaper. when i first moved in i wanted to tear it down, but when i tripped in there it was like being in a botanical garden...ill post pics later

 

whenever i take psychs and look at a mirror in a bathroom, i can see directly into my soul.

 

spent 3.5 hours replacing bathroom sink faucet and drain assembly on acid and I hate plumbing. My wifey sprung it (new faucet) on me as she was leaving for work and I had just eaten 1.5 hits... was supposed to be spending time in my garden..what a funny nightmare

 

haha i can jus imagine so much going arong doing that! lmao

 

I haven't read the rest of the thread, but the original post is a great question. Visually and aurally, I did see that people pointed out the fact that there are reflections, mirrors, and echoes in the bathroom. Also, the patterns of tile are often very trippy. For me, though, I think the bathroom is a place of privacy, intimacy, and "reality." Going to the bathroom, whether it's number one or number two, is one of the weirdest and most "real" things we ever do. It brings you back to your body and makes you aware of your body as a very complex machine. It is "dirty." Seeing dried up urine and pubes on the toilet is always a quick reminder that we do not live in a clean world. Our very bodies are dirty. Things like brushing your teeth, flossing, washing your face and body (see my thread from a long time ago on flossing while tripping) are incredible ways of getting in touch with the body.

Stanley Kubrick set many of the most important scenes of his films in the bathroom, and there is a reason for that... it is a place that we can all connect to. (Essentially) all people go to the bathroom, and in a way it is very mundane but it is also the place where some of the most emotional, personal stuff happens (Freud may have been weird but he touched on a lot of very real things... I know so many people who clearly have serious psychological issues surrounding their genitals, pooping, etc.).

 

My bathroom is def one of my favorite places to go if I'm tripping, I also use the tile patterns to determine how hard I'm tripping, lol.

But I really like my bathroom because I have a walk in closet with carpet on it, so I'll usually sit there staring at the tiles and pondering the great mysteries of the universe, lol.

 

Bathroomm always make me feel uncomfortable on shrooms, but then again I always want to be outside on them, however on acid it is pretty nice. Though I have to agree I always notice more visuals in there which I belive is because of the light, and reflections ^^

 

yup parts weren't fitting so I made "frankensink" using old and new parts underneath but it doesn't leak!

It was a Valentine thingy for the Mrs. so I got lots of WOWs! :cheers2:

at least I had some trippy trance in my shuffle.

Funny thing about mirrors. Better for talking to myself. I kept asking "who are you?" and "what are you on?" I never answered back...

 

one more thing I realized.

The bathroom is where most of us feel comfortable being naked and in front of a mirror. We are most honest with ourselves then as well as most vulnerable.

I think this state of mind allows us to go deeper into our souls when we have penetrated the veil of our ego.

 

Mirror

Solitude

Smaller space

 

Yes and you realize that there is fungus everywhere, and suddenly human feces doesn't seem so disgusting.

Anyone?
