Explaining a trip

How would you guys put into words what a trip is actually like? I have some friends that have never tripped and they ask me to tell them what its like and I try my best to give them a good answer, but it is incredibly hard. So, im wondering how you guys would put a trip into words, and im not just talking about a trip report, im talking more in generalities. Thnaks.

You can't. You can use all the words you want to. Some things just have to be experienced to be understood. Tripping is definitely one of those things.

IMO words cannot express the experience.

no but they can take the inexperienced into a state of wonderous imagination, that is if you choose your words right and connect to the person. hopefully then they will realize what they are missing out on
just tell them there are no words to describe your experience, because the experience itself was beyond what the ordinary thinking mind can perceive.

it's a waking dream state (I agree you can't explain being that way but you can talk about it to some degree) time sense is stretched and all brain signals fade more slowly so colors are richer and particles of color linger when the eyes move (eye-candy) sensations are more enduring - taste and smell as well. sounds are more encompassing - more resonant. the sense of space is greater (more dimensions as entire scenes persist in mind as you move around) pressures can be increased so relaxing is important. thoughts last longer or are echoed... that sort of thing...

Take everything you have ever heard about any trip...
Its all true... in a sense.
And then once you actually trip it is like taking it all in and then try putting it in your own words.

I agree that it cannot be put into words. The description people give of a trip never fully conveys how intense it is to actually have that experience. I was blown away by my first acid trip despite my friends attempts to describe the experience. You simply do not know until you live it first hand.

High dose trips, it's like trying to explain colour to a blind person... just not going to happen.
Nice analogy.

In his book "The Joyous Cosmology" Alan Watts achieves the nearest translation of the psychedelic experience into words that I've ever read.
Aldous Huxley comes a close second in The Doors of Perception.

recently, while a very close friend was peaking, he made a superhuman effort to speak with me over the phone. he described a vortex formed in a membrane over him and forces pulling his arms and legs up. he indicated that he could go easily into the vortex or not go into the vortex. each sentence that he spoke was clipped - quickly formed and transmitted, as if he were making super human effort to send messages home from a spaceship, and not turn his head from the porthole.
I thought that the sense of plasticity amist oceanic forces was something that helps to convey the raging beauty of psychedelic mind.
