looping / mushrooms

i'm curious to hear about your experiences of looping during a mushroom journey
fun / terrifying ?
clear / confusing ?
etc....
i've never experienced such an odd state of mind of living through death and rebirth.
the cycle repeats for a countless number of times, but you can only vaguely recall it's happened previously. almost as if everything in your vision is flattened to a surface and you're watching this screen while fading out of one consciousness, escaping one life and being born into the next.
thinking back, i wonder what the blinking of my eyes looked like while under the influence. does that ever happen to be a factor for anyone? hmm
also, i wrote (somewhat) lengthy report about it

It's fun, terrifying, clear, confusing, life changing, and heart stopping all at the same time.
Something bad can still have a little bit of good in it, something good can still have a little bit of bad in it.

Looping is what I consider a bad trip.
I would consider it fun, terrifying, clear, confusing, life changing, and heart stopping all at the same time. Very little bits of good.
Rebirth is a good description. I found it to be like.... this is what life is. A never ending loop. I lived a thousand lifetimes. Each one sucked though of course, because it turns out there is no point to life. I was pretty fearful. I wasn't sure how I was living, or what I had to do to stay alive. I knew the mushrooms did it to me, but had no idea how long it would last, or what exactly was happening. It was kinda like that's just how life is.... a never ending confusing loop. What sucked was as soon as I finally accepted it the loop would start again and I'd be like what the fuck just happened. Absolutely no long term memory.
A good way of describing it immediately afterwards before I was able to gather my thoughts was that I was mentally retarded.

The first looping experience I had on mushrooms came after smoking some weed while tripping... it was uncomfortable, a bit scary, and involved visual and auditory looping. But it wasn't nearly as intense or frightening as the loops I had on salvia.
After learning more about how to handle negative experiences on psychedelics,I encountered the looping / repeating phenomena again while on mushrooms. I saw it as an opportunity to use my knowledge and try to abort it .. I recognized the loop pattern as soon as it began and took steps to alter my environment and mindset by changing the music, turning on the lights, and relaxing.
I focused on the thought that it was just a loop and would not last very long. Focusing myself to calm my mind and ride along with it helped almost immediately and the looping ended soon after.
.. To answer the question, the looping for me was more of a uncomfortable sense of dejavu like I had been there before and wasn't happy to be back. A small aspect of I was experiencing on mushrooms resembled something about salvia which made me nervous/panicky and began the looping. I felt only a small ammount of the fear I had during the salvia trip but soon realized the mushroom looping was not nearly as forceful or frightening as salvia which was some comfort in the midst of it all.

Has anybody seen the movie Being John Malcovich? You know the part where he goes into his own head and everybody looks like him and is saying "Malkovich"...I saw that on acid and it totally reminded me of a thought loop.

yup. the trip started well, but when i first started to lose my mind, my friend wrote "tripping" on my arm, so if i ever forget what was happening i would realize "oh yeah, i'm just tripping." However, my friend did not consider the fact that after tripping like a MOTHERFUCKER, i had completely lost the ability to process meaning, and as such had forgotten what the word "tripping" meant.
ABBOT & COSTELLO in WHO's ON DRUGS??
ME:What's happening? FRIEND: you're tripping. ME: What's tripping? FRIEND: you are.
repeat ad nauseam. in addition to forgetting meaning, i also forgot myself.... someone hit "reset" and i was lying in my bed, and my sense of who "I" was suddenly had no meaning, was blank.. i didn't have a name, and kind of figured that was something important to have... same thing with a home, parents, childhood; these are fairly universal things that i realized i could not remember at all, just a blank identity,... as i began to remember where i was, my friend turned into the Chesire Cat, and my vision went into full-on cartoon mode. but i still didn't know what "Tripping" was, and kept asking my friend, over and over.. Eventually a sober friend came over, and we all mellowed out with some bud.... demented experience overall, after that i abstained from all psychedelics for 2 years, and ever since i gained the utmost respect for the power that hallucinogens can wield

the last time i ate mushrooms i heard an audio loop saying" Wednesday legs", it made me feel very uncomfortable, then i had a feeling that i had when i was young,it was never unbearable and only lasted a few seconds.this feeling was like i was stuck in slow motion and i hear my thoughts like you would when you slow talking down on a audio track, i experienced this before i had taken any drugs(other than ritalin as a kid,which yes is really bad), i also had forgotten about this feeling for so many years. the funny thing is i changed the direction of the trip soon after all of this happened and had a pleasant time afterward although i did not forget what had happened. this episode has not put me off taking mushrooms, it feels like all that stuff needs to come up so that it can be dealt with. i have been thinking about this today as i am planning to trip tommorrow night,i am still finding my "psychedelic feet" so to speak and i think that my ego, or something is having a hard time letting go. its interesting that many people have this feeling of forgetting all meaning and the confusion that follows, any thoughts?

It made me not want to take over 5gs at night time, that's for sure.
@ sacred mushroom - I could only get rid of it on lower trips where I was cognizant enough to realize I was looping instead of thrown into utter confusion.

when you are looping on 5g+ its terrible cause you are so confused and cannot break the loop untill something big outside your loop happens

I totally hear that.. I meant to include in my post that I was on a lower dose trip, probably about 3-4 grams or so and the method I used is effective for that level of trip. But for a heavier dose that decides to go loopy.. It would be much more frightening and difficult.
Your options start running out when your sorroundings crumble around you like a stack of cards and your conciousness is merging into 7 dimensional shroom space.
