bad trips where you have a great time

just curious how common an experience this is. exactly what it sounds like: where the acid is really messing with you and freaking you out and you love it.

the one time this really happened to me i was on the tail end of a strong and almost entirely unexpected acid trip (long story). i don't remember the exact circumstances, but i ended up chillin to myself for awhile so i went to my bedroom, turned out the overheadlight and got my halloween x-mas lights going and put on geogaddi by boards of canada (if you haven't heard it, this album is very chill and very trippy and very dark). it ended up being one of those deals where like 5 hours into a trip you suddenly start getting ridiculous visuals again.
so anyway, basically the halloween lights were bulging out at me CRAZY fractal style and the music was really creeping me out (lots of scary voices, references to cults and numerology) and i was really anxious because of it all, but loved every second of it. the next morning after coming down i realized that was having a pretty big crisis despite loving it.
i guess it's kind of like why people go to scary movies?

anyone else

 

I've had that kind of thing happen a few times now. One really memorable one was right before I moved to where I am now. I was selling acid at the time, and couldn't get rid of all of it before I moved. I wouldn't have been able to keep it where I was staying, so I ate 6 hits by myself. Eventually, I decided to lie down in my room & meditate while listening to Black Aria by Danzig. I got a good way into it, and was being carried into hell by demons (I could feel their hands holding me and the flames licking my back) when my friend opened my bedroom door and got me out of it.

Another time, I ate about 3 grams of some homegrown Ecuador Cubensis. I was at home alone, and was staring at a poster of a Native American sitting on a hill. It's called "The Ten Indian Commandments" if you've ever seen it. Anyway, I saw the smoke behind him turn into a demon which represented some things I've done in my past that I wasn't very comfortable with. I eventually fought the demon in my mind and turned it into a wolf howling at the sun.

 

First time I took acid. I was pretty wasted, 4 litres of cider.
I ran about the place going mad because "Toy Story was in my stomach".

Then I brought a friend home to go to the bathroom. (girl) and my mother said "whos in the bathroom" and I replied with "Jordan" who is my actual girlfriend. But it wasnt my girlfriend in the bathroom so I started freaking out because I thought my mother would think Im doing shit with another girl behind her back. So I got into fetal position and started pointing at the wall and shouting "sheee knows, sheee knows".

Enjoy every second of it.

 

early on in the trip my friend grew horns and I thought I was going to go on some demonic journey

I did... but I rocked that thing and it came out being hilarious
