That's cooli, GoldenEye; I never saw such things myself but it seems reminiscent a bit of Buddhist death meditation perhaps.
btw, markos, thanks for
"The Horror...The Horror"
being the first link'd post down below, now.
ah, well. 
back to reality lol
Ya agreed - indeed .
also one can garner reflections about stability, peace, or health by such processes, even without being on anything.

That does sound like a really beautiful experience JSB... having a look from a deeper perspective and having some compassion for yourself can be quite the eye opening experience

I rather see journaling as self-reflection, but I suppose one could refer to it as socializing with oneself. Actually, Jungian 'Active Imagination' is a process of interacting with a dream-character, and there is a sense of socializing with a sub-personality. This book by Robert Johnson taught me how to do this, and it is sometimes considered more occult than psychological:

Wheneve i go to the bathroom whilst tripping i play with my hair and tell myself im the best. Flex my muscles in the mirror and tell myself just really positive things. I think its cool that as humans we can identify and to a semmingly extensive degree personify our reflections. Pretty cool if you ask me.

You would find, much to your surprise, that in Active Imagination (which is decidedly different from passive imagination), that these beings answer you back with unique responses such that it does not seem like 'you' are playing at having a conversation with yourself. I had a lengthy conversation with a huge serpent who referred to itself simply as "Python." It appeared in my childhood bedroom, but then, 30 years after my parents moved from my childhood home, 95% of my dreams take place there. I hope I don't get trapped there in an astral plane like the couple in the film 'Beetlejuice' when I die.

That's interesting. I often used to stare into my pupils in the mirror and converse with myself until it was as if I was talking to an audience. Then I would get looks that seemed stimulated by 'others' that could gesture with my own face at me in the mirror.

Dissociative phenomenon also, and no doubt other unconscious material of your's besides dream material. It all derives from the unconscious.

I think it's healthy to be self-aware. It's weird looking at myself as life goes on, the different appearances, shapes, 'styles' I've adopted.
Though, when looking into myself, in the mirror, deep inside, I don't see anyone different.
It's crazy how easy it is to not pay any attention to yourself. Mirrors and alone time are good...

Stared at my self in the mirror for almost a half an hour one time while I was trippin on 7 packs of morning glory seeds. My face was changing colors, and I remember I kept looking at my jaw bones and the shape of my head, nose, and lips, and I just kept thinking how amazing and awesome the human body is.....

For work I sit in a small booth with windows on all sides. I always work alone, and can see my reflection from four different angles at any given time. So uh.. I feel like I spend a little too much time talking to myself.
I weird myself out a few times a day while at work.

Mostly by having a lot of hypothetical conversations with myself, but each different reflection is a different perspective. Good for introspection, also makes you look like a crazy person. Also I can get a little restless, so I move around a lot by stretching and sometimes exercising. Sometimes I juggle.
I've been told I'm very entertaining.
