That happened to be the case recently for me and couldn't have been at a better time as the year is coming to a close and it's been a somewhat turbulent year. Some lysergic guidance was what I sought on this otherwise ordinary day. I dosed 4 hits that likely equaled ~200-250 ugs White on White Blotter at roughly 10:45 on an empty stomach as I went to shower and prepare for my day. After showering, I tuned into some sports program on the televsion. Within a half hour I started getting the initial alerts, I became unfocused on the commentators and decided to head online to wait for the peak before going out. After talking to some people on here, I decided some music was in order as I could feel the LSD rise up within me and start to surround my being. The previous evening I decided I was going to listen to the first half of Radiohead's Ok Computer album. This was an awesome choice, I got swept away by the first track 'Airbag' and the sonic textures that Radiohead create and the change in tempo on that album was absolutely mindblowing, a seamless transition between songs that had me lost in thought one moment, followed by headbanging and airdrumming the next. As the effects gained momentum, I had ancy stimulation pickup. The peak came on pretty strong and initially I was not overwhelmed by the sensory effects but I was sent on a series of cascading anxious thoughts. I fretted over them for a bit but then I decided I was going to roll with the trip and I grabbed my acoustic guitar. I played along with a few songs, definitely felt alot of improvement since the last time I played guitar on LSD, my rhythm skills are pretty good, I could pickup on the various strokes and muting of the strings much more crisp and I had a much easier time just going into free jamming to the music. I then played a couple of my own songs and I thought they sounded good, I wasn't too overly analytical about it just playing and enjoying the development of the creative process. After the guitar, I listened to a couple Tool tracks before heading out for my day, the visuals really started to pickup at this point, as I was listening to the music I pet the cat and watch his black and white fur shift and undulate, the cat felt really warm at the moment and it was nice to be accompanied by such a cool mellow animal. Next to the cat, a crimson colored blanket was bubbling and transforming in slightly odd and interesting ways. Shortly after I headed outside... As soon I stepped out of the house, I was greeted by a bunch of turkeys roaming around. They flocked in various direction and in fairly close synchronycity leaving trailing images behind them. I got really excited for my walk at this point, with the sense of awe and anticipation of what I may find interesting next. I made it to a trail and started embracing the day, some anxiety dissipated as I took in my surroundings. I really enjoyed noticing the contrast of the trees, some lush green and in full bloom and others with no leaves at all. I made my way down to some horses to check them out. There were some squirrels that were playing alongside a tree that overhung the horses stable, I was particularly struck by the contrast in movement of the two animals. The squirrels frantic pace, agile quickness and chirping communication compared to the horses more calm, graceful graze. I continued on down the trail and found some chickens which gave me more contrast to the other animals. I was getting some pretty good synesthesia at this point, fleeting thoughts with corresponding enhanced colors of my surroundings, or was it the colors that were influencing my thoughts? I headed back home shortly after this and my trip started turning more into an emotional journey. My thoughts got occupied by a reflection over the past year before I moved to the Bay Area and it wasn't all that fond of memories to be honest yet I found it worthwhile to be in the grasp of such a powerful trip and be able to confront these thoughts. I felt a sense of isolation as well as I was admist this powerful experience and stuck in pondering. I headed back out and went to the library, I came back on HF for awhile. After that I briefly went outside and enjoyed watching the multitude of people out and about, a unique vibe in the air this time of the year. I headed back into the library, found myself a very interesting book which I read for a bit. The night came on and I enjoyed watching the day colors slip into the evening darkness. The stars looked magnificent in the evening and I was seeing constellations with much more ease and probably forming some constellations in my head but really cool formations constantly appeared with the slightest change of gaze. I was also seeing some slow moving geometrical blips in the dark just as I was walking. I came home went on HF for a bit and then went to get off my feet after the long day's journey, where I stayed stimulated for a bit, lost in reflection and some lingering visuals. I usually take acid during the night so experiencing a full on day trip was unique. Some of the emotional content was a bit tough for me but it was a great trip to end the year on and I look forward to next year implenting some of the lessons learned from this trip.
Sounds like a classically profound time with lucy inside your own self. Thx for writing that out, I know the words on the page don't do justice to the landscape your mind traveled but it relays a little bit of the experience. There's the poll here about day vs night trips... did this day trip change your opinion on the subject at all?
I like day and night trips about equal I think now, although I tend to be more of a night person so I'd probably still opt for that.
Cool cool. Glad it was a good one. I've always voyaged at night so my opinion won't mean anything till I've had at least one strong one during the day.
strong enough that you didn't hit the dmt, huh? sounds like you had quite an introspective trip, and maybe a touch of the emotionality i get from acid. since the topic came up, i like day (late afternoon) trips - out in nature
Congrats on your awesome sounding day trip. I love how you so casually say "I went to the library" and such when a trip in public by myself seems so intimidating. But yeah, I am glad you enjoyed the radiohead, I don't know them well myself, but I enjoy immensely listening to albums on lucy that I never payed close attention to before. I will likely give that album a try myself so I can know what you are talking about. Also I LOVE cats when tripping. They almost seem like they are on trips when you are tripping sometimes. For example when they are startled by small movements or noises that you find you yourself are startled by when under the influence of psyches. They are so warm and enjoy attention so much, I could spend hours petting my cat and listening to tunes while tripping.
Radiohead!? You, my friend, are the greatest!! I guess I don't know if it's the greatest drug with music, but I do know for sure that music is one of my favorite parts of Lucy's spell. I don't really know if it's possible for another drug to make it "better" but I bet some drugs could alter the music more, or simply differently. Either way, playing your own stuff on guitar can be great! I'd like to do a trip focused on my work one day, just my songs, and drawings and stuff, and see if that takes me somewhere deep.. It's great to see a trip report post by you tho GB, this is the first report on Lucy that I've seen since I came to this website (aside from older threads). This site's pretty fun on acid, I think that may be one reason the psychedelic thread is one of the most active haha. But I hope those thoughts taught you a lesson, I've had trips that have left me with just more questions, and I've actually had ones where somehow logic seemed to function and I actually sorted some of my problems out. I hope that is the case with your new living area, and that you don't feel too lonely these next few days. Nice to hear from you man! Peace
I always love reading or hearing about people's trips on acid. This was an interesting read for sure... Last time I tripped, it was raining and went I went outside the raindrops were pure music to my soul. I realized that there was a song in everything, the universe is a kind of music. I also had a long conversation with a green snake-like goddess that lives inside a beautiful malachite crystal, she merged with me and we experienced some deep stuff together...never felt the same about crystals again since then. I had some apocalyptic visions of the end of the world as well, then drew for hours while coming down...I like going out in the world but going within is so much more profound- it seems to be more exclusive to being a learning experience than an escape from this prison.
Strong enough that I couldn't find my lighter :tongue: I had (and still do) the DMT bowl packed and ready to go but I misplaced my lighter, that's part of what made me really anxious. I ended up finding it this morning. Hopefully I can try the combo with DMT at the onset at some point but I'm glad I didn't really go that far yesterday. I got things from LSD that I needed.
^^^yeah, seems like everything worked out! what?! i've definitely posted a report or two since you joined... check out my threads "natural fractal - 2cb + LSD" and "red star microdots" on the last page.
Glad you had a good time. I hope to dose soon. I don't know that I'll have the alone-time, though. Would like to on or before new years eve.... there's snow on the ground, and I'd like to walk in the woods on acid in the snow.
Music is one of my favorite parts of LSD as well. I slightly prefer music on MDMA because I hear it more crisp and clear, it sounds more fluid and I feel it in my body more. LSD is slightly more rigid with movement and music but I find it remarkable how music influences the cognitive affects such as the visuals, and as I mentioned in the report how I can be really soaking in the lyrical content one moment and then break out into airdrumming the next. Ironically I don't really enjoy playing the guitar on MDMA (really shortened attention span or something) and I love playing on LSD, I think you will thoroughly enjoy a trip focused on your art. This is the first LSD trip report I have wrote. I believe I have taken LSD 3 times since I joined HF, the first time was before I wrote any trip reports and than I took LSD earlier this year with DMT but I had a somewhat mediocre trip with both of them so I didn't write up a trip report there.
Interesting trip to the library lol. Chatting and going online were interesting choices too (in comparison to what I would like to do on a trip). I hope you learned 'lots from the trip and it pushes some mental conflicts in your mined & life towards a healthy direction!
