A feeling of disconnection...

I have talked to a few people latley that talk about have a feeling of being disconnected when their frying on Acid.

I personally feel the complete opposite I feel 100x more connected with everything, can anyone relate to feelings of disconnection while tripping? I know everyone is different but I trip to feel connected with my mind, body, soul, nature, friends, strangers, etc... and simply would not enjoy lsd if it made me feel even slighty disconnected from anything.

I asked these folks if they feel unplugged like in the sense of the system of day to day life but thats not what their talking about and have a hard time explanig to me their feeling of disconnection...

 

Hm I can only think of dissociation. I feel more connected with everything to. I can relate the disconnection to DXM but that's more mind from body separation.

 

Maybe they mean a disconnection from they're bodies.

I would suggest that a disconnection from ones body, and a connection with 'all' are one and the same thing.

 

^ For sure.

 

I get dissociation from my body sometimes on mushrooms, but not LSD. LSD deeply connects me to anything my mind brings me too.

 

I kinda get disconnected by the way i used to think, thats why its so overwhelming it forces me to think in new ways thats the only thing i can think of.

 

For me I felt like I was seeing the world as something greater than us see it. Like if something from another dimension saw our world, what it would think of us. I feel disconnected from the confines of my mind and I free my self to think in ways not possible before. I also feel that I here. I am alive. I'm a part of this. So it's a feeling of both at the same time.

 

i've felt both very connected and disconnected i guess.

like really tripping hard - imagining that i was one with everything.
and tripping just a bit and feeling really awkward around sober people. or thinking how silly some of the things we humans do, that i feel disconnected from "them." but then i'd probably chuckle and realize that i do the same silly shit, so therefore - i am connected.

 

When Im on LSD the sensations are so intense and alien that I have no idea what a body looks/feels like anymore. Its kind of hard to focus on feeling something when you are feeling everything.

 

increase dose

 

i feel dissociation when i fry. i even get uncomfortable being around my friends. i just get way too damn stupid and into my head and i get awkward. for me, im pretty sure i worry about what other people think too much and when im doin drugs, i worry about getting in trouble too much. for me it comes down to who we are as a person and acid just magnifies it by putting them much more into their head.

but i havent done a big dose yet.

 

I definitely dig the idea of being disconnected and connected at the same time. It is definitely that.

 

every time you post about acid, it makes me wanna try the stuff that you're dropping

 

Peoples emotional/internal issues have a way of sticking out like a sore thumb on LSD. Somebody who is generally negative or experiencing internal downfalls are more prone to run into a negative experience whilst diving into the depths of their mind, or at least display it to others more clearly. Hence the apparent disconnection.

I've seen all sorts of emotional displays from people on acid. Power games between couples, insecurities, greed, lust, trust issues, all sorts of shit. I shrug it off most of the time, it's just a very psychological drug. It really can demonstrate the power of placebo and faith. Cough, paranoid ideologies. How many people end up believing their mind is being read while under the influence? Or is it?

 

^^Yeah I have believed that definately. That is like the scariest feeling for me because I feel like my thoughts are all I have kept private, when that is not private I have nothing.

 

I always think that like once a trip now haha, but I'm starting to think it's because what everybody's feeling is so similar/ the same that the same thoughts just arise and you just sort of "read" each other. But that's only my theory on the situation lol

 

I know how your feeling, but I always just think about how they're just thoughts, uncontrolable thoughts, its nonsense to worry any about them...

 

Ya that's true. Doesn't effect my trip negatively but it certainly is.. weird, lol. I'm starting to accept the fact that this world is more than I will ever be able to comprehend lol.

 

I dont know I can keep my thoughts private. I can't keep the emotions they make me feel private. When someone shows curiosity or concern about it I just calmly tell I don't want to bring them down my own side trip. When group tripping this isn't really a problem and most of the trip is definitely connected with the others.

However my good friend extroverts the negatives of his trip so fucking hard that it consumes everyone. His confusion becomes ours. I'm pretty sure he's crying out for help. For example back in October on a very intense trip he was mentioning things like "his sickness." He couldn't go anywhere. He didn't want anyone to go anywhere because he didn't want to go anywhere. The whole process of getting him up and ready to leave his room was a subtle communication between me and him, his problems and my advice and support. No one picked up on this until I mentioned it later without his presence. I don't know it's hard to put that whole experience into words but it was ridiculous. 5 of us tripping really hard, consumed in his confusion, work together to overcome it. His pain was the pain of the world. Fear.

 

When I trip on shrooms, I feel pretty disconnected from this world and everything. It's like I get isolated in my own hole and a world completely built by my mind takes over for the rest of the trip.

When I trip on lsd, well, its varies. Sometimes, I'll be godly disconnected to the point where I don't even know who/what anything is other then myself. Other times, I'll feel super connected with the people around me and the world. I know when I do lsd by myself, I feel REALLY disconnected if I stay indoors. When I go outside on lsd, omg it's like I become in focus with the planet.
