The Come Up - how would you describe it?

Well, I have always found the come up before the trip to be very interesting. The reason I find it interesting is because it is the part before you lose touch with reality but you can still communicate with reason and logic.
Although it has been a while since I lasted shroomed, I would say the come up feels like your mind is slowly walking deeper and deeper into a forest, slowly getting more and more lost, and then realize that you will not know the way back. It is at your peak when you find out the answer (the route back). The come up is the strange part to me because you dont really know where you're going, even if you have tripped before. It's like you have a jigsaw puzzle infront of you, which represents your immediate idea of life, and someone starts taking pieces away from it, and you can no longer remember the pieces which were previously there...
Well, that's all I can come up with but I love the come up... it is mysterious and overwhelming. Like journeying to places you could have never imagined.

>>walking deeper and deeper into a forest, slowly getting more and more lost
Thats a good way to put it... but once your lost it all kind of comes into place.

I wrote this DURING a shroom comeup, describing the come up:
A sensation in my limbs An awareness in my brain A buzzing Some pressure A ringing A throbbing A... ...flowering .......of ...........everything!!

Come-up for me:
- almost always thinking about my life up to that point. - I usually lay on my bed, and I always feel like I'm flying
- then all of a sudden; I notice the music growing intenser; this is when my stomach tends to play tricks on me. I've never thrown up on them though.
- And then all of a sudden, I go for a walk, and I realise that I'm no longer able to walk straight, and with this, the come-up is officially over, from there on, it's mindshattering bliss!
-------------------- - turn on, tune in, drop out ... - peace, love and understanding ...

Like lighting a fire, you strike your match and eat them. Then you get your first little burst of flame when the paper ignites, this could be noticing a heavy energetic feeling deep in your chest or a tense neck. Then you go around and light the paper all around the base, you notice your first trailer off of a headlight or you think "oh no! i don't think i have blinked once ALL day!". The kindling starts to catch, that's when you have to ask the park ranger to please count out the money you owe him for the camp site because you are unable to figure out money any more. That kindling goes up pretty fast, as soon as you put the first real log on, that?s when you look into the sky and notice that the fox with wings has its arms crossed and it is staring at you. Then the logs start to pile on. You think that fire is done, its full size, then for whatever reason you add more logs. The fire is GOIN now, you have to stand back from all the heat. This is when the most intelligent things you can get out is "pshhhhh", you look down to see that the road your standing on is actually two layers meshed within each other and they are sliding around and the idea of taking an orange pill to make it be yesterday seems damn well possible. After a while of fully enjoying the intense heat and dancing flames you recognize it really is time to let this fire go down, running around collecting wood is exhausting. This is when things just get silly-odd and the restless part in you wants to crawl all over everything that exists at once, and this still seems like a nearly achievable notion. After much more time passes it is time to roast some marshmellows on the coals. But not without the occasional outcropping of flame to remind you of the fire you were just in (looking and realizing that the flight control tower looks like a big nerd with a baseball hat and laughing your ass off). When you wake up in the morning there is still smoldering ashes, something still is a bit "off". And you have that sweet smell of smoke left in all your clothes.
I agree, the come up is damn exiting, but I couldn't rate it above or below the peak or comedown. They all are crazy in thier completly unique way. Sorry that was a bit long, but this thread just made me think of it and i got really into the analogy
-------------------- Go through the orange yesterday I watched intently for a while to both sides, infront of me and behind me. I was impressed to learn there was another way to look... UP! More impressive still was the fact that there were beautiful stars in this direction Most amazing fact of all was the prospect of another direction when I was done with up. DOWN! Which, based on the feel through my toes would be a fine sandy beach!

The come-up for me is like slowly learning that the movie "The Truman Show" is in fact a true story, and its based on ME!
-------------------- Insert an "I think" mentally in front of eveything I say that seems sketchy, because I certainly don't KNOW much. Also; feel free to yell at me. In addition: SHPONGLE
