Shrooms 2grams - flashes
    #28075429 - 11/30/22 02:50 AM (1 year, 1 month ago)

First post, nice to meet you all.

Yesterday i had 2 grams of shrooms and had the oddest experience that i would like to share.

About 1hr in the trip these flashes started to hit me. Visually it was like a bright light that flashed for what seemed like a second or two. They kept happening sporadicly for 30 minutes or so.

With the flashes of light, the sound also changed too if that makes sense... My normal background sound or buzz that i usually hear was altered. It changed to something that basically sounded like nothing... or a void of some sort.

There where also this sense of vibration or frequency change. I dont know how to explain it any better then that.

Anyway, The last flash led to a visualisation of some sort of image. It kinda looked like thousands of planets on a string in space.. lol

i snapped out of the vision quite fast as i got beyond overwhelmed. The flash and sudden change of sound really set me off. Not to mention this vision.

When these flashes stopped, I was left with this feeling that my mind really couldnt take too many of these flashes. a permanent state with them would be exhausting. Probably deadly...

I dunno what to make of this experience. Normally i would just write it off as a hallucination, but this sound and vibration change really put me off.

Did anyone experience something similiar to me?

I have experienced the something similar and it scared the shit out of me the first time it happened. I had it reoccurring on a scale of seconds and was able to dial it down and finally stop it.

It still happens now and then. I think it's related to "exploding head syndrome" others have called it brain zaps.

I've found I can carefully avoid it by how I think, I mean they don't call us phychonauts for nothing; you gotta know how to navigate!

On the flip side, I wonder if I just need to dive into the maelstrom and see what happens, but like you I intuitively knew it was not a good place to go.

Can you please share a bit of your history? Is this the highest dose you've had? How often have you tripped?

Thanks for sharing. I was afraid i was all alone with this experience. After googling exploding head syndrom and brain zaps, i see it is quite common. Some experience it all the time, while others just sometimes. Apparently its quite harmless, but i cant find any research on it so who know.s.

About me, im quite new to shrooms. This was my second trip.
These two trips i did lately was alone in my home. Most of time spent lying down on my couch. Both times i took about 2 grams. The first trip had no brain zaps at all.

Like you, i also felt i could control it a bit. I was able to provoke the zap by looking upward while laying down with my eyes closed. I was also able to reproduce it by listening very close. Allmost like focusing my listening to behind my ears if that make sense...

Maybe it also should be noted that the trip in general was quite messy and i had some unpleasent visions in the beginning before these zaps. At some point it looked like i was under ground in dirt and this worm was feeding on my gut... luckily this vision was in 16 bit resolution lol.. so it didnt scare me too much. I was focusing on a difficult feeling that im trying to process. This feeling is located in my stomah. Perhaps i invoked such a negative experience by thinking on it.

Anyways, in retrospect i will not trip after a full day at work. ill keep these trips to the weekend when i feel fresh and rested like i did on my first trip.

@m0n0id, how are you able to avoid the feeling as you describe?

Sorry for the slow response. I've been taking a break from the community.

I like your description of "behind your ears", definitely things get atypical at times.

As for avoiding the brain zap situation, it's hard to concretely describe but I'll do my best. I can kinda feel it coming on, it's been over a year since I last had enough to encounter it so the memory isn't super fresh. It's kindof like a state of feeling my mental stimulation starting to "roll down hill" or avalanche.

The way I avoid getting sucked in could be analogized to navigation. I can feel the maelstrom trying to pull me in before it has the power to overwhelm me and I navigate elsewhere. In some ways it is a bit of a spatial thing.

In another thread RGV shared this bit of advice that I'm particularly appreciative of:

I just wanted to mention that several of the "problems" in the report are of a class of synaesthesia where-in body sensations are mixed up with associated mental forms to the extent that dire threats are detected.

over-detection of threat while on psychedelics has no solution except by relaxing, letting it be, putting one's relaxed awareness into the center of the tight part and working gently at releasing tension, breathing easy, and remaining in the moment.

I have often heard how psychonauts claim to have learned this, but it really must be relearned each time, because the situations are always different.

in the predicament, there is no opportunity to change the dose or have a different mind set or setting, or eat what wasn't eaten, or not eat what was eaten; so there you are, pinned under the microscope in a time warp and under extreme pressure, so you begin by not resisting, but by immersing into this crushing wall of confusion and gently letting go of all the tight bits, and crazy chains of thought whose heavy links encumber freedom and stress your mental grip - let go.

it's always the first time.





Best luck!

This recollection from redgreenvines is profound. It is always the first time again. I try to take teachings I have learned from previous trips and apply them to new ones and it never really works. It's always a new birth, a new experience. Such beauty.

Vinni84aa, what a beautiful experience. I have had these flashes of light as well, in the beginnings of my deep dive into mushrooms. A psychonaut friend of mine calls this "the grand opening." It does not last forever, but that is well, because you will now be able to go deeper in the realms and be given greater teachings. Blessed travels my friend. Keep going, go beyond, go beyond the beyond.
