- Your personal physical boundaries cease to exist
- You enter a bit of a "state", your sense of time / place / self are no longer there
- For me, especially with mushrooms - there is a general feeling of unconditional love/acceptance, some times I can also feel a bit of a struggle/balance with a 'darker' energy
- While in the state, it is an amazing feeling, and often euphoric
- At the same time, when you come back from it - its like trying to remember a dream
- Generally speaking when in this state, I'm laying down / not very mobile, and either eyes closed or have pretty much a visual disconnect from reality (ie: I can wave my arm in front of my face, but I only see a wash of colours),
- The ability for me to interpret my world around me becomes difficult, if not impossible (Your ego is what interprets the world around you and helps give it meaning, if you've up and lost your ego, your now operating at a very 'basic' state)
Ego Loss on higher doses can sort of 'force' itself onto you - and you can either fight it and have a rough go of it, or sense it - let go and welcome it, at lower doses (and also at higher ones) - I can easily let myself slip into the state if I want to

you start losing your sense of self
"who am i?" "what is my name?"
time loses all meaning
"what IS TIME?" if someone were to ask you what time you took the substance it wouldnt make any sense to you really...
you begin to face things deep within yourself that you had not expected to face...this is when MY ego starts taking blows and retreats...i usually get very confused on where i am, and i do not even remember that i took anything at all...
ego loss is an awesome thing...i am so glad i have had the chance and blessing to experience it in my life...ego death as well...
my experience with ego death usually consists of me getting pretty scared because i realize i am dying...i either get scared and fight it which throws me into a very detailed trip where i hallucinate EXACTLY how i am dying and it is pretty hard, or i just give in and let go which makes it so much easier...at this point i am "dead" and i can then do whatever i want or imagine...i have entered a white light and talked with "god" and i have fallen into a black void and been in "hell"
and ALL of it has to do with learning about yourself...how awesome huh?...during ego loss and ego death i have gone through the most intense experiences of my life and learned more about myself then i had in all of my years without tripping...
i think these experiences are unfathomably important and i am so grateful to have had them

now that i think about it, i have been trippin witha friend and they experienced ego loss. it was utter confusion. he was like...."you dont think my mom is gona know where trippen, your not gona tell her" he was a completely different person. that same night, that particular friend was having a "bad trip"... i was like, "yo bro, me and you have been friend for a long time give me a hug everything will be ok", and he said "do you want too?", and stood up and walked across the room and lookedd at me and said... "wait what?" it was pretty creepy shit. thanks for the imput it was helpful.

it's a really cool feeling. I experienced it on drugs only a few times, it's like when you feel yourself as a grain of sand in the beach, just a speck in the distance. It's only drug IMPOSED
I think it's a personal feeling that's really hard to obtain in life. You could trip a million times and never feel that feeling. I don't know, you just have to have an open mind, if you do you probably already know what I'm talking about.

I'm not so sure, you can have a bad or a great trip without attaining ego-loss. What you described, John, doesn't really sound like ego-loss but simply fear and overwhelming confusion, which is another common effect of psychedelics.
Ego-loss generally occurs when you can put aside egocentric fears and drives, such as those that can (and often do) tear a trip down and make it go bad.
