I don’t really have reasoning behind these, but for me it would probably be:

‘Is a cloud of smoke trying to occupy space?’
- I Didn’t Understand

‘The slow motion moves me
The monologue means nothing to me’
- Can’t make a sound

‘Why should you want any other
When you’re a world within a world’
- also Can’t make a sound

‘So go to sleep amid the change’
- Independence Day

‘You say you mean well
You don’t know what you mean’
- Everybody Cares, Everybody Understands

‘If you’re alone it must be you
that wants to be apart’
- Alameda

‘Everyone is gone
Home to oblivion’
- No Name #3

Who agrees that some songs are so good that you can’t just listen to them day-to-day, like when you’re walking or doing something else because it’s just too much of an emotional experience? Like, the type of song you just have to close your eyes and sit down and full immerse yourself in. If I listen to that type of song in the background while I’m doing other things it just feels so wrong, like I’ve betrayed it or something. I’ll be running errands and some devastating, floaty song will play on shuffle and it’s like an emotional jumpscare. My friend has no idea what I mean by an “experience song” so does anyone else know what I mean?

I developed trichotillomania (a compulsive hair pulling disorder) pretty badly at age 13 and it was one of the earliest things that really set things off so I wonder if anyone else suffers / suffered with it or something similar?

Preferably something small and not too elaborate

A few weeks ago I smoked with a few friends and felt like I had taken a literal deliriant. I know it’s not out of the ordinary to experience some hallucinations and paranoia every now and again, but this was different.

We were sat in a clearing in a forest and I started seeing very realistic figures dressed in white, religious-looking robes marching in the trees behind us. There was also a donkey being led by them.

This did not feel like a hallucination and I pointed it out to the group because I genuinely thought it was real (this wouldn’t be too crazy to believe bc there is a pagan group in the area who often do quite odd rituals in that forest, but that’s a whole other story..)

I thought they were just trying to freak me out or just weren’t looking properly so I kept insisting on it and pointing it out but they kept saying there was nothing there. I then felt a very strong compulsion to drink something (not like normal thirst /dry mouth) and chugged about 2 litres of water.

The hallucinations got worse from there. I started seeing the covers of my childhood books that I didn’t even know I had in my memory VERY vividly just floating as images in front of me. I looked away and the trees started morphing very subtly into what looked like Roman pillars. It kept getting more vivid until this cluster of trees literally morphed into like the whole front panel of a Roman temple with pillars and arches. This looked completely indistinguishable from real life, and it only got worse.

We walked down this path towards the outskirts because everyone was sobering up now and I was making no sense so everyone thought I was just joking around or attention seeking or something. I look up towards what is usually a row of houses and the view is completely transformed. I literally see a whole hill that wasn’t there before and what looks like a ski resort. At this point, I wasn’t thinking normally and wasn’t really questioning why this view that I see almost everyday now included a whole mountain range with a ski resort. I just thought “that’s weird, I don’t remember that being there”. I brought it up and, again, everyone thought I was pranking them.

I don’t really remember sobering up but when I did, I was completely fine except for being obviously very confused. Nobody believes me to this day and I probably wouldn’t either if I was them. Everyone smokes the same weed and nobody else experienced it. I have had a shroom trip before and this was completely different. It looked like real life and I believed it. I find it very disturbing that my brain is capable of that because I haven’t heard of anyone who has experienced it unless it’s from a deliriant or a mental health disorder.

If anyone else has experienced this, or knows what causes it please tell me…Thanks!
