I feel like it set and setting are perfect, higher doses can be extremely beneficial. 6g was definitely high enough, couldn’t even sit up or open my eyes but flying through space and time like you said, observing all things at 2.5x and just felt incredibly fortunate for the experience the whole trip.
Yes, agreed.
When I was peaking I was wide awake, plenty of energy, but my body kind of felt like I was in that stage where you're just chilling in bed about to pass out. Tricky to explain, I'm betting you know exactly what I mean.

The body load is incredibly heavy. My out of body was so profound all that was left of me was the last breath I took a few seconds prior. I remember my breathing was all there was to “me”, I was somewhere else consciously, suspended outside of space and time, observing the inner workings of my persons, my traumas, my experiences...full of gratitude and empathy for all I’d ever gone through. Yes, fully awake but “I” was completed sedated.
One thing I think is really important is how incredibly relaxed you need to be prior to a trip, and then during a trip allowing your breath to guide you the entire time. It’s the best guide you could ask for, centered on your breath the entire time. So whatever people have to do to Get into a relaxed state I find paramount.

It’s like the dream factor or quality becomes so thick and dense that it takes over

Exactly what happens every night basically if you think about it . It’s cool when fungi does it though because it’s easier to remain lucidity and retain the memory - more or less. Always felt the more fungi i take - the heavier the trip , the more dreamlike it is until finally all reality I’m aware of is engulfed in it and seems no more or less a dream
I used to be scared of high doses because I was unsure of what might happen, but once I realized that, it was much easier to stomach.
Just a dream.

I agree completely. For me it’s all about the experience and then over the next week really practice integrating what I learned. Obviously more and more comes back to you over the course of a few days. The whole point for me, is to hold on to whatever I get from the experience.

A spot in nature with zero distractions is the perfect place to trip. When the clouds turn purple and form this mandala grid all over the sky..  Birds fly around, animal noises, the wind.. you soak it all in and just exist in the moment.

Absolutely!!!!! This is why I love bringing mushrooms on my backpacking trips. Nothing like hiking miles into the woods, setting up camp.. eating a good dose and just being present in the moment. No cell phones, no one bugging you - just you and some friends experiencing a present moment. Absolutely beautiful in nature.
Orange - this thread has made me so much more optimistic on taking higher doses. Though, lately my trips have been difficult and I'm afraid to give myself over to the mushrooms lately due to how they have been bullying me... but i feel great after the trip. Its like working out, it burns like fuck, you want to stop.. thr agony.. you can't go on. Then after all of those moments... after its all over with.. you feel great and are sculpting a beautiful body.
I'm so happy you shared your experience with us man!

I use the analogy of the breath anchoring you because like you said, as relaxing and dream like as it is, it’s a ride you have to hold on to for dear life. You get dropped in the deep end and have to learn how to swim on the spot. The breath will teach you to swim and the sooner you learn to trust your ability to breathe through a trip the deeper into the trip you’ll get. After my last trip I felt like I didn’t need another trip for a long time it was so insightful. But now...haha, now we’re back in that space where we’re curious what is waiting for us on the other side of an experience. I’ve been bodybuilding for 13 years, like you said you feel incredible after training and that’s such an accurate observation. I told my wife, who runs marathons, it’ll feel like you finished mile 26 when it’s over. Certain parts of the marathon will feel like a breeze, other parts will feel like you wished you hadn’t started to begin with, tho that fades towards the peak for me. I’ve only had experience with fungi too by the way. Nothing else to speak on as far as other psychs.
