When everything reflects back 2

Anyone ever trip so hard that literally any tiny dot you looked at, you can see your reflection?
If so, what does this mean? Kind of feels like sophilism

Interesting you interpret it as solipsism! For me that's the focus point; it's your consciousness reflecting back in itself because it could be argued consciousness is all that's actually "real".
In the end it will always be up to the individual to interpret.
I have a couple of crystal balls that when I'm high AF I can stare into, and with the right amount of incense going I swear I get similar focus. It's not EXACTLY the same, but there are parallels. I don't even believe in scrying or fortune telling; it's purely for FOCUS building exercises.

It reminded me of that movie "Source code" with the guy in a room that was actually his consciousness.
I love looking through curved/rounded glass whilst tripping. When there are so many light sources and things that mess with depth of field/position, it makes for some interesting focusing (helps me with organizing my brain).
It was so weird the experience I had the other day. It's like when you see your reflection in metal appliances and its slightly warped, but I was looking at dark areas of my room that shouldn't reflect anything, but I saw my eyes. at first I couldn't believe it, and i blinked, and I also noticed the blink in the reflection
Right afterwards, I immediately thought of solipsism, but then I thought, what would that mean? Everyone else could also experience this, so then I thought of simulation theory, about holograms. If everything is made of a hologram then I feel like the light making up everything that is a hologram would reflect easily on everything else since essentially it's all different projections. Kind of hard to explain
I really need to get a bigger round glass ball. The one I have is barely the size of a golf ball.

I think it is about everything interacting and impinging on everything around it to some degree in a way that is satisfactory and consistent.
normally we would not notice.

Yes! I was speaking with my girlfriend last evening, and she was telling me how there's this new thing where everyone on Tik Tok or whatever is just realizing that their images aren't flipped correctly, so users are now seeing how they actually look to other people, and hating it LOL.
It's the same phenomena as hearing your voice on a recording - you cringe, but also forget this is how everyone else hears you all the time, and has no context for any other sound, it's just you freaking out because you always have a few inches of bone muffling your own voice in your head lol.
These are fun little "cosmic giggle" SELF exercises IMHO. We are temporarily locked into a perspective, and drugs take us up and out of that plane of experience into others.
I feel shiny surfaces, mirrors, anything that reflect - can trigger ALPHA states and set you going into deep subconscious realms of exploration...
