Deeply introspective trips

Sup guys. How common are these types of trips for you?
My magic mushroom career has really taken off in the past few months and I've been toying with the idea of taking a larger dose solo. I usually lemon tek ~2g in social settings with very entertaining results. Problem is, every time I take an eighth or so I always end up stuck lying down thinking about my life for hours on end. While the new perspectives are very insightful and my perception, kaleidoscopic, it's not usually what I would call "pleasant", and I want to "go flying around the galaxy, dude" if you know what I mean.
So I was just wondering, is this deep and sometimes painful reflection pretty typical for higher doses? Is there any way to really avoid this aspect and have a purely recreational or mystical trip? I've been thinking that maybe I just need to go higher with 5gs or so and let myself be completely immersed in the experience. What do you guys think? Should I say fuck it and just go balls to the walls with 5 or 6 grams or just continue looking at all the pretty colors, or what. lol

The only way to find out is to try it. For most I think the trip gets more serious and perhaps spiritual as the dose goes up. But there's not much to worry about with mushrooms. If you are in a safe place you will come out fine no matter how much you take.

I think you have to go through the introspective part to get to the part you're looking for. It's certainly been true for me. I find when I dose often as opposed to occasionally there's a lot less of the heavy "gotta change this, gotta work on that" aspect - mostly because it gets done early on. And yeah, larger doses are more likely to get you to sheer entertainment, definitely the way to fly. 
OTOH YMMV and you could enter a high dose trip expecting fun and games only to have the shrooms turn around and kick your ass but good. It's always a roll of the dice until you get well experienced - and even then you can get something you were never expecting. Learn to ride that if you want to play the game.

Try stating your intentions out loud to the shrooms/heavens/self whatever before taking your big dose. I only big dose alone - anything less has been a good experience but always seemed a bit of a waste to be honest. There doesn't seem to be any guaranteed way to control a trip, but there definitely are ways to influence the trip - be relaxed/really well rested on the day (is no good to go from 5 days in a stressful workplace straight into a shroom experience for example), and be clear about what you want from the trip from the start in your head (e.g. i want to know about how the universe is influencing ... ). I think without clear intentions the most pressing issues in the back of my mind surface which is sometimes good but like you say, sometimes a bit boring and overly introspective. Good Luck!!

I find that this is mostly just the way shrooms are. My trips are always super introspective. If you're not against taking MDMA, I'd highly recumbent a hippy flip. 0.2g MDMA + 2-3g Lemon Tek'd will definitely give you a mindless trip full of beautiful patterns and colors.

Shrooms are always introspective, that's what they're for.
