Mushroom "Flashbacks"

I've searched the internet for information on mushroom trip flashbacks, that are not induced by marijuana or any other drug. I'm curious if anyone else has had flashbacks from a trip. My last trip was a few months ago, it was by far my most intense experience, to the point of it being life changing. Although very terrifying at the time, by far my best experience. Two or three times now I have had these very brief random moments where I feel as if I am in the trip again. Once was aided by a Cathinone like substance, but it was in the exact same location and environment as my shroom trip. I am just wondering if you personally have had Mushroom trip flashbacks, even to the point of visuals? Do you think that something may have indirectly induced/set it off? Just curious.

Could your sub conscious just be over acting, or playin tricks on you?
You say you get your "flashback" when in the same place you had your experience, correct? Perhaps sub consciously your recognizing where you are and what happened previously without thinking about it and it brings back those thoughts and visions your had on your dose. Like your just associating your environments with your experience.
OR you are consciously recognizing this things and over analyzing the situation.
How long ago was your dose? How much did you take?
I have experienced the feeling of " I feel like im tripping" thought a day or so after a dose. But I am not sure if this is on track with what your speaking of...
Although if your not a heavy user, and it isn't causing panic attacks or serious problems to your mental, I wouldn't focus too closely on it.
It will likely fade in a few days. Think of it like an earthquake, you rocked your brain with a dose, and now its settling down.
I hope this helps and apologize if this unproductive for you. From what you described, this may be something to think about.

I don't have much to offer about flashbacks being triggered by another substance, though memory tends to be congruent with ones mood, which applies with moods that are psychedelically influenced-- kinda like how a smell can trigger a memory. . .
On flashbacks in general though, recent research here argues that there is almost no evidence that links 'flashbacks' to chemical elements of the drug in question that was previously assumed to cause them (they looked at LSD). In addition, they argue that the evidence suggests it's more likely that 'flashbacks' reported by older studies, may predominantly be simply people noticing things they may not have noticed previously (i.e. there is a priming effect of the studies that demonstrated evidence for flashbacks themselves, so that people reported such phenomena as 'flashbacks'), and in cases where there seems to be evidence that 'flashbacks' did occur, they should be seen therapeutically in a positive light since it illuminated elements that had hitherto been uncovered in a persons psyche and could be now dealt with.
I'll quote:
Quote:
users who report flashbacks can be explained by a number of 'non-pathological' theories which focus on personal qualities of suggestibility, role play behaviour and its reinforcement, unconscious thoughts or feelings, or the noticing and mislabeling of normally occurring perceptions that are usually not noticed. However there are more reports of the experiencing of flashbacks from psychiatric populations.
This evaluation of the research literature suggests that to label flashbacks as 'adverse effects' of LSD is misleading, and not in accord with either the research or the explanatory theories in the literature. Present day warnings that LSD causes flashbacks simply echo those of the sixties as part of the anti-LSD hysteria. They are not supported by the literature.
I guess personally I think it's a pretty poorly defined term.

Yeah, I hate that feeling...kind of like deja vu/timewarp/memories of looping type moments. I got it a lot after a bad acid trip (never after mushies, though). It goes away eventually.
This concept really helped me out:
Quote:
One theory on deja vu "suggests the brain may process the sensory input as a memory, and therefore during the event one believes it to be a past memory, yet it is only a memory-in-progress; which is how the brain perceives life."

I do. what you are experiencing is HPPD. some people have 'visual snow' all the time, some, like you and me, get it every now and again. i get moments where everything gets far away and then close and back and fourth for a minute or so. also get moments of over excitement, and moments of color distortions, sometimes things breathe.
some people have to pay for it you know, sit back and enjoy it.
