Explain losing sense of reality at high dosages.

I plan on taking my first trip of Psilocybe Cubensis after my harvest. I plan on taking around 3.5-5 grams. The purpose of the trip will be purely, how do I put it, introspective. I want to take something positive away. It isn't for fun.
Now to get to the question.
Could experienced users please try to describe what it means to loose your sense of reality when at high doses? (5 grams or so.)
My interpretation leaves me hesitant. The way I read it I interpret it as being similar to blackout drunk, as in having no real control and ending up in places not knowing how you got their or why you decided to go there.
I won't even ask what ego death is like as I have a pretty good idea.
Side note, sorry if this type of post has been regurgitated by newbs the world over. I just can't seem to find an explination I can relate to.

It may happen on any dose, it depends on you being ready for it
Check my journal if you want a really good chocolate recipe, best way of eating mushrooms IMO
Much better trip each time, and you can use less to trip, 3g is enough for strong trip
If I tell you what it's like there is less for you to explore You shouldn't read trip reports, but just trip
You can look at the levels of trips as a guideline maybe, level 4 gets intense, level5 there is no word to explain and no consciousness often
just unconscious, but that doesn't mean it is unpleasant
level5 can be very worthwhile for some, and very unpleasant for others I have gone to level5 a handful of times when I least expected it on LSD/shrooms , but normally trip around level3-4
it seems more than one thing can make you unconscious in trip, not only egodeath mushrooms are pretty known for knocking people out like alcohol can do
can be fun, but I don't aim to get knocked out ;-) - it just happens, and quite often actually sometimes
I would recommend 3g chocolates as a very good - explorer dose - not too newbie dose- not too hardcore tripper dose most people will be able to do that if they have tried shrooms before
4g gets so intense you dont want to return very often - years inbetween likely - always unpleasant
5g can get very unpleasant and insane, but fun too , you dont want to return there every weekend unless you're a shaman ;-)
Trips should not be written about , that program other people's minds trip reports thats some insane ego tripping really, just trip man
turn off those expectations, have fun
btw my favorite trip report is "rebirth and spiritual enlightenment on mcdonalds toilets"

We can really not use dosages for anything , only for guidance
Cubensis strength varies -a lot- from dealer to dealer, or from grow to grow
So my cubensis may be ultra weak, and yours may knock people's feet off with 2g, or the opposite
Sometimes 3g does nothing for me, sometimes 3g is much too much
It can surprise you with the strength, start low, get to know your dose
Potency can vary a lot each flush, and even between shrooms too
But with 3.5g you are usually assured a trip, not always though - if they have been improperly dried in an oven or such they might not work much at all, or not dried quickly enough
Shrooms degrade if you don't dry them right
So many factors, we can't use dosage for anything - people have different tolerance to psilocybin too
Some don't trip on 5g, some trip on 2.5g
If you take medications you might not feel much on 5g too, while others will never want to return to a 5g trip
The best tip is to always start low, and know -your- set,setting,dose next batch you get may surprise you and be ultra strong
I prefer the lowest dose I can trip on usually, I rarely go as high as possible, as that impacts the mind more - more I need to defragment after trip ends. And 3g is plenty for me usually.
Just know your dose , even if that is a Mckenna 5g in silent darkness dose ;-)

In the case of improper drying would you recommend simply eating the mushrooms fresh? I have concerns that they may be a bit harder on the stomach fresh.

Fresh tastes very good, but yes they can give "gutrot" / bad trip due to thinking you ate poison or such
It's all in the mind, many can and do prefer fresh
Tastes 100x better than dried..
I would just eat the thing if I wanted to trip now... But if you do fresh + orange juice, expect one hell of a ride- both of these are known to easily give bad trips/too intense trips
But some people like it intense...
I would eat them fresh, but avoid orange juice, that adds too much risk for bad trip I think
and expect a bad trip in any case, then nothing can go wrong - it is more likely for me when eating them fresh it seems
still like it ...

Sitting in the dark on mushrooms and watching the show in my head was a wonderful past time for me.
I prefer 5+ grams nowadays if I were to take mushrooms. The sensations are out of this world and focusing your attention on breathing can elevate you as high as you wanna go, while also being an anchor in the event you start getting uncomfortable.

I felt like drowning on 4g chocolates, very unpleasant, thought I would die the whole trip
I couldn't breathe, really heavy breathing, whole trpi
couldn't move whole trip
wasn't exactly a picknick , it seems I don't really like the shroom bodyload, and I got asthma too so I keep safe with shrooms, I usually never get problems breathing but there I did the whole trip
higher doses easier give bad trips usually, so 5-6g can be risky
I am not sure what 5-6g would be in equivalent LSD dose, but I have taken 10+ hits before and that was much easier to trip on than 4-5g mushrooms
Mushrooms you don't just trip out on, they trip out on you, they take control
There was noone to watch when I took 4.5g last time, I was insane for hours, no I watcher, reliving my life over and over again It is intense as hell usually, 6g doesn't sound pleasant to me
But it all depends on the way you take them Powder is more intense, I usually need 4.5g when I eat them raw it seems - not a lot happens there
If I eat 4.5g as chocolates, the world melts, I just go insane basically - no control, insanity for 8 hours

Are you sure those 5-6g are strong shrooms?
When I got shrooms grown on straw they were weak ass, very little trip even on 4-4.5g
When I got on pftek I tripped my mind out on 3-3.5g , intense as hell, too intense
I can't imagine tripping 5-6g each time without tolerance, it would take my mind years to become normal again after each trip That's why I usually don't go to level5 over and over on LSD either, it takes long time to get back - the heavier the trip, the longer time, it can have weeks afterglow or months

Fresh mushrooms have both psilocin AND psilocybin. Dried mushrooms contain ONLY psilocybin. Different trips.
IMO fresh is far superior.

I bet if you take a high enough dose the universe splits into 2 or 3 :-)
Just like on Salvia...
Then you have a conversation with the 2nd and 3rd universe (yourself)
That is spooky as hell, when you start hearing voices speaking out of the blue - but noone there Then you have long conversations with those that are not there
That's normal on salvia, and I bet on shrooms too - at high enough doses
Multiple splitting of the ego
So you see yourself/people you know in your furniture, speak to your furniture, can be fun
The insane part is just that this happens on 5x Salvia for me that only happened on like 400-450ug LSD... - you telepatically communicate with everyone you know like they are there
Imagine what 20x Salvia is like.... out of this world

Psilocybin converts into psilocin in the body.
Fresh is better but only because they are more potent.

I once did a 100mg rail of pure 4-ho-dmt (psilocin) and was speaking to aliens on my wall for three hours.

2d hallucinations like that are very common on high doses of LSD/mushrooms
and sometimes they can actually turn 3d on really high doses - or if your brain gets lucky
then you think they're 100% real
but usually when you see entities they seem 100% real, even if they are 2d and in midair the mind has lost most/all ability to discern real/nonreal, even if it is surreal
I think I've had a ufo trip 3-4 times now, but only the 2 of them I recall fully, also had a ufo lucid dream after it - damn that one I remember intensely
lucid dreams >> heroic dose of LSD or salvia, feels more real than this reality
if you got poor eyesight here, you got 360 degree view and xray vision in lucid dreams, you can even fly through walls if you want - no need to put on your glasses ;-) everything is crystal clear and you can fly anywhere
it's amazing that trips you've had since 4 years old can still blow the mind 25 years later, the same trips... flying in lucid dreams
I have had flying trips on LSD too/mushrooms , it feels like flying in the air when you lay down, lightweight no reality, just immensed in closed eye visuals, no contact with outer world, inner world loops for whole trip (on around 4g)
out of body experiences are pretty common, near death experiences, death experiences, I've probably had a few of each - the obes are pretty short lasting though it seems
not like real OBEs, you would remember those for the rest of your life, I had one of those like 20 years ago that I remember like a min ago
wouldn't mind trying a real OBE again, it's better than lucid dreaming which is better than any trip too usually

A lucid dream you get 100% crystal clear reality that feels more real than this one, and no rules
A OBE you get even more clarity and control, because you don't have to face your fear first
A trip is not as clear, it is a distorted perception that bubbles from side to side and gives weird thoughts usually
In a lucid dream everything is clear, you think clearly, you can go to work as normal, and then jump out the building and fly
Or you can meet a ufo in your backyard like me, damn - I could feel it out there and all  That was crazy.... kept running around in circles in my living room and couldnt think straight, thought if I should run out the front door but didn't for some reason
I have met everyone I know in a lucid dream, thought I was awake, but then I could fly... reality was not real, I could just jump into the air and it was like steps
then I could crawl into the air and sit there, or fly anywhere
lucid dreaming is the shit www.ld4all.nl www.dreamviews.com , and it's free, anyone can learn it
I think I have experienced just about anything in lucid dreams, many kind of entities, and many people, but usually the same kind of entities - not always pleasant ones
it seems they don't like you gaining control of that reality, whether it is your subconscious or guards of that reality, who knows they will prevent you from being able to be fearless and fly, they know your weaknesses and exploit them

But trips can still be fun, it seems they too release DMT/something in the brain somehow..
that's why they often can be spiritual
and the same dangers of lucid dreaming applies with trips, you can get a bad trip that can hurt you for life if you don't respect it
and if you respect it, you can heal your soul with lucid dreaming/trips
a good trip gives energy a good lucid dream gives energy
It just seems it is harder to reach a calm state in a trip than in a lucid dream they both can affect one for the rest of ones life
I've often been thinking about how to do some spiritual protection when tripping/lucid dreaming, it looks like it can be dangerous...
it seems the risk is the exact same, you can meet entities, and they are usually rarely pleasant
I have met entities both in LDs and trips several times , and they can definitely drain you if you are not careful , there is a certain way to live when doing such occult things usually
if just doing it carelessly there may be severe dangers to it, but if you respect it there may not be - and it can heal your soul, give your energy, optimism
A good lucid dream feels like you slept for a year, energy for a month A good trip feels like this too almost..
Both can make you remember your divine self if respected Mushrooms are really great for closed eye visuals, it's like a 4dimensional cinema , I would prefer them instead of LSD for closed eye movies
didn't think it was possible with so many colors closed eyes before I did 4g mushrooms first time... they can give so many colors its almost too much ;-P

I used to lucid dream quite often as a child. I once popped out of my body and was dragged around by some shadow entity until i got a hold of myself and wanted it to stop. Burst of golden light and the entity jetted leaving me floating in my living room.
