Dead Guy at a party

Alright guys..so I had a party saturday, and we had a lot of pot and liquor, so we were having a good time, we had a bonfire, like 6 or 7 bowls were passed around and I had taken about 5 shots or so of Bacardi, so around 3:30AM we stumble into my house. Just for the record, I have done shrooms, my first time was around a campfire like the one we had, and I was telling my friend about my trip and I swear to God it like hit me again because people turned to clay and my hands would like mold together and there were crazy patterns and colors. Anyways, so i feel like im tripping, and around 4, I go into my kitchen and glance into my backyard and for some reason I "saw a dead guy", like walking around my backyard, so I freak out and tell everyone and then I pass out. The next night, im getting high in my room, and I start going downstairs and just feel a wave of fear because I think that "dead guy" is down in the backyard, and its been liek this all week! and last night I even heard a groaning sound from my backyard which couldn't have been real, I don't know what to do. Anyone know what to do to get rid of this fear?

Simple have your friends tie you to a tree in your yard. They'll come back in the morning and if you aren't torn to bits by the dead guy then you'll know he's not real :P

Hey, dont worry about it. It'll pass with time. The first time I did mushrooms I ate waaaay too much, I wouldnt touch mushrooms for months afterwards. That is including mushrooms on pizza and salads. Best thing to do is just confront your fear. Hope that helps. Just keep telling yourself that shit wasnt real.

if you really want to conquer your fear just go into your backyard and try to observe calmly. easier said than done, i know, but if you don't deal with the fear it will become poison. telling yourself it isn't realy isn't good enough, imo -- you have to actively overcome a fear for it really leave your psyche
-------------------- “Strengthened by contemplation and study, I will not fear my passions like a coward. My body I will give to pleasures, to diversions that I’ve dreamed of, to the most daring erotic desires, to the lustful impulses of my blood, without any fear at all, for whenever I will— and I will have the will, strengthened as I’ll be with contemplation and study— at the crucial moments I’ll recover my spirit as was before: ascetic.”

The best way to kill zombies is to destroy the head. I say hit him with a axe or a bat or some such thing.
Seriously, its probably a manifestation of your own fears of death or dying. Has anyone close to you died recently? Perhaps it is from some other issue, maybe a fear of your own drug use turning you into a "zombie" in any case its representing some inner fear. I suggest sitting down and focusing on the idea of the dead guy and try to understand where the fear is coming from. I would also suggest you stop using all substances (including alcohol) for a while. If you keep having the fear or find it growing or becoming more unbearable, I strongly suggest you seek some psychiatric help.

yeah lay off the pot..
last night i was baked as shit (a friend of mine who did some skooling in europe [amsterdam] loves to roll splifs) we rolled like 5 joints/splifs and just sat around to music.. but everyone leaves and the house shuts down.. but then around 4 im still up smokin.. i hear the front door shut. then theres shit shakin my roommates foors and i hear it shut.
i flip out thinking im next in this killers crazy dream, so i hop in my closet with a pipe and a flashlight.. smokin and waitin to knock this guy out.
but since he didnt exist i sat in the closet for like 5 mins until i laughed and told myself it was just cause io was baked as hell..
first time i took shrooms i was pretty sure there was a van lappin the neighbor hood, and cops were gonna jump out and arrest us after a few laps.. we were in my old house, no one lived/s there.

The answer, as is the case for most things, is fire... Zombies hate fire...
Seriously though it just sounds like you had a flashback brought on by the powerful emotions and memories that were probably brought back when you started explaining the trip. Being drunk and high amplified these effects. Suddenly feeling like you were tripping again probably seemed strange, alienating, out of control, or scary (or could have just been fun). But regardless, something made your mind uneasy and you thought you saw something in the yard and the weed exploited this fear and made it seem all too real. You reacted to it, you tried to hide from it, your brain still has that fear programmed into it. The only way to get over it is to bite the bullet and face up to your fears.
Same thing happened to me yesterday. I had just filled a few bowls to myself and was taking a piss when I noticed something small floating in the toilet. My first thought is "fuck, I just pissed out something. Too small and thin to be a kidney stone, and I haven't been having pain, fuck, I've pissed out part of my body, is there blood? Maybe there'll be blood next time? Maybe alcohol's finally made its blow on my body and my organs are starting to fall apart inside of me. Went back to the computer, started doing searches for different infections, conditions, injuries, etc that might result in passing a small piece of solid matter. Then the screen started shifting in and out in my vision, the text started floating around as if sitting stationary while floating on water or something and I started getting a bit of tunnel vision. At first it was just an ordinary head rush, then my vision gave out into a static-like blur of greys, black and a bit of white (just giving a guess of how to describe, it, it's kinda hard to remember in detail). I started getting incredibly concerned and aware of the feelings in my stomache pelvice and crotch, started thinking my body was completely fucked up and I've managed to ruin myself without managing to kill myself and I'd spend my life going back and forth between doctors trying to hold my health together with problems constantly coming up. I just abbandoned the computer and had to lie down. The anxiety passed after about 5 minutes, and having experienced stuff like this I was able to keep myself from overreacting, my vision only gave out for about 10-30 seconds during which point I was completely disoriented, willful body movement felt like it had to be forced, and well, it was unsettling as hell.
I later realized it was just a bit of shit that didn't go down with the last flush (which I knew was the most likely probability but somehow felt that pissing out parts of my body seemed more reasonable), but regardless it just goes to show how weed can make your mind chase itself into an irrational panic

Sheesh, this fear of the dead... Personally I blame horror films for this evil stereotyping of the viably challenged.
Just because a guy is dead, doesn't mean that he's a boring old fart, or an evil axe murderer. This dead guy simply likes a good party.
Next time you see him just talk to him, maybe get high together. You could become the best of friends.

Your fear of this "dead guy" is nothing more than behavioral conditioning brought on by whatever you were on at the time. If you continue to feed on this fear, it will continue to happen. Remember, this is an irrational fear. If you continue to perpetuate the fear with phobias, it will linger until the day you die.
The absolute best thing you can do is stop the fear in its tracks by confronting it. You know there is no dead guy in your yard, so stop thinking about it! Go outside and have a good time.

Either way we can all agree you have to kill the dead guy walking in your back yard. On a side note, it hes dead but alive, then he's undead and what do you call it when you kill someone that is undead? Do they return to being alive? Either way I'm going to beat my dick like it owes me money, cya.

you could try to have a dream about him and if it gets real scary, do arole reversal and confront him and say "sorry I am scaring YOU!"
(since it's your personality you are dealing with)
I haven't tried role reversal in my dreams but I should...... I think it would work.
but yeah you could talk to him and figure out why he's showing up and such.

Maybe its really there and we'll read about this guy in the paper who was killed by a dead guy that lived in his yard, and he only tried confronting it because ppl on the shroomery told him to.
In effect, the ppl on the shroomery KILLED this boy.
OOOOOORRRRR.... He can take this advice-
Zombies hate it when you clap bricks together, an entire colony will run screaming if you clap some bricks. Also, try lining your back door with isop. 71% alcohol and they'll stay the fuck back. Make sure it's not 72%, they breed in areas with 72%. How'd you like to catch your dead man screwing a dead girl on the back door rolling in alcohol? I know I wouldn't...
-------------------- I don't think for myself. I think as though I'm explaining my thoughts to someone else. I'm concerned only for those listening.

This sounds to me like a manifestation of a nightmare. Have you had a similar dream in the past? If so, then you need to confront your fear and just let it go. If not, then it could be paranoid schizophreniform (temporary schizophrenia, although described as being "not drug induced" [ I believe this to be BS]). In that case, you need to do some deep thinking and rationalizing, or consult a psychologist to do deep thinking for you. Or it could have just been one of your friends trying to fuck with you. Or it could've been a zombie...
