Simple seizures felt ALOT like dmt, i mean it's almost scary. After a Grand seizure for days it would seem like i was on speed, like i was the biggest thing in the world and nothing could stop me. Some ppl said it was the drugs they gave me to keep me alive/ revive me.

I have had a psychedelic experience while 'sober'. There were no tracers, no visuals, nothing of that kind. Just the headspace. In my mind, I was in multiple locations, mentally transported to different periods of my life, all while laying in my bed.

Not sure if this can be considered sober. I was on nyquil in the recommended dose on the box. I usually let a fever run for a couple days before I turn to meds because the point of the fever is to cook out the sickness. Last October I got strep throat. I had a fever for four days that wouldn't break. Before it broke I was laying in bed as I started to get some nice mushroom-like visuals like on the back end of the trip before they start fading. I also felt the oneness and I was pretty ok with dyeing that night. I thought to myself, well I never had this happen before but I guess dyeing of fever isn't as bad as it looks on the outside. I am guessing the brain must have been getting close to the well done stage in the skull oven.

Deep alpha-theta wave meditation and trance can start to overlap some of the sensations/breakthroughs of certain psychs IMHO.

Absolutely Loaded Shamen. Trance like states in meditation definitely can induce psychedelic-like experiences. I've scared myself out of meditation several times, falling down the rabbit hole.

Correct, likewise, and same lol.
I get insane "Saran Wrap" crackling when I'm about to "breakthrough" to the Astral. It's officially a personal correlation with the experience now. I find the second I realize I'm "thinking" about what's happening, I'm kicked out of that space.

I've had such an experience when looking at a wooden ceiling after smoking fruit flavored tobacco and seeing the patterns swirl. Same thing happened after practicing meditation by staring at a blank wall, the patterns on it began to move slightly when I lost concentration and went back to normal when I regained it.

The "trick" is being able to trigger that state at will, whenever, wherever.
Now THAT'S Magick!

Rise against said: One of the stronger "trips" I've had was while I was sober, well mostly sober, I was drinking a few beers with my room mates in college. My friend told me that if I hyperventilate and then he pushed my chest against the wall that I would pass out. Stupidly I agreed. I had some sort of seizure and during this seizure I was in a psychedelic tunnel. I could see myself dying over and over and over from an out of body experience. It seemed like an eternity. It was very terrifying honestly. I came to and was very emotional and couldn't hold the tears back for 20-30 min. Would not recommend.
sometimes I see colorful geometry during orgasm.
This is the kind of stuff we've done when we were 13-15 year old. I personally never tried it, but developed my own, different technique, based on sitting down for a while then standing up suddenly.
Someone I know did the chest press many times. One time he said it induced a dream-like vision which felt like it lasted for weeks. He said he was living on a farm, was managing a large piece of land with livestock etc. He described the location and some more details. He said it felt like this was going for weeks whilst he was only "out of it" for a few minutes, if that.
Personally, when I was 9 or 10 years old, I had an experience similar to the one described by Albert Hoffmann. I felt this sudden ecstatic euphoria, everything became brighter etc etc. I never told anyone about this, and tried explaining this by the fact that I confessed in the church very honestly the day before. I though it was some sort of blessing from God etc. Looking back I think this was some spontaneous release of serotonin or something like that. I feel this classifies as a psychedelic experience whilst sober.

Yes, I have
Once in a dream of mine, I dropped L. I preceded to have the weirdest, most bizarre hyper realistic dream that seemingly lasted forever
Also if I see light being reflected from multiple reflective surfaces that will trip me out because it looks cool...especially if it creates some nice effect.
I once had an epic psychedelic effect whilst hiking toward a mountain. When we stopped for breaks, we would be standing still and to me, the mountain looked like it was increasing in size (inflating like the mountain was growing). It was odd, but also cool
Edit: I forgot my endless sleepless nights, where I would not sleep for days and I would be seeing traces and objects shift and warp very faintly. Mostly, colors will just flicker on everything
I also had a psychedelic seizure. Looked like my room melted into green rock candy or something. It was weird. My room isn't even green in color
