What do you like to do while solo tripping?
    #5964559 - 08/14/06 11:01 PM (17 years, 5 months ago)

Well on my 1st solo trip it was a low dose, taken inside my house at night. The trip went alright but since i was used to tripping with a partner it was kind of wierd. I really didn't know what to do with myself and ended up just falling asleep after about 3 hours.

Tomorrow I'm going to eat a little more than my last solo trip, but a little less than when I trip with a partner. I will have the house to myself, and have no worries of being interupted.

Well my question for the shroomery is...What sorts of things do you like to do while tripping alone at your house during the day? I don't really want to watch T.V or do anything like that. I have kind of a big yard so I was thinking about just finding a nice spot outside and pretend like i'm reading a book while i admire my surroundings. My other idea was listening to DSOTM.


Thanks ahead of time for your suggestions, and send some good vibes my way :grin: :mushroom2: :mushroom2: :mushroom2:

artwork!

oil pastels are about the most fun you can have tripping alone... lay it all out on paper and get your hands all dirty with color blending them together... they're the perfect trippers medium... second to probably clay/sculpture.  anything that doesn't require lots of tools or pieces, and colorful the better. :thumbup:

even if you're not the artsy type, try it some time... you'll surprise yourself and have an awesome keepsake.  goes good with music too... "draw" the music. :smile:

I have to admit all the ideas suggested so far sound good! Perhaps do all of them! And maybe arrange a walk down to a park or nature reserve with some music. If you have any pets I suggesting spending at least just a little time bonding with them. Or just go to a quiet store or shop and order something to eat if you're not tripping too hard. Don't be afraid of being around a few people (big crowds can be annoying though), they prob wont even know you're tripping. Maybe even make some trippy images in photoshop.

I definitly agree with an art-type project. Even with friends, tripping and drawing is the best experience because you don't even know what you're drawing and when you come down its like "wow, where'd that come from", I drew a crazy drawing one time and as I drew it I started tripping into it, so its definitly a good idea.
The park idea is good too, definitly with music, just find a nice field in the sun or shade and just lay down and listen to music and look at the beauty of nature.
Have fun bro
Peace

I prefer by far tripping alone: no distractions, self-confidence... I like to get my Sennheiser HD-555, good music (pink floyd, sphongle, steve vai, joe satriani, iron butterfly...) and draw. It's wonderful to get lost in your drawing :smile:.

Also I like to watch me in the mirror (can be frightening some times), lay down in the bed listening to music, watching plants, etc.

chill the fuck out :smile:

Have a good think about everything, sort things out in my mind.

I've never tripped indoors really, I don't think its an appropriate setting, but outside I just like to sit and admire everything :laugh:

Last night, while on acid, and a little bit right now, I did the following:

-watched tv
-smoked weed
-drew with paint markers
-drew on my old desk(lol) but it looks good and im gonna keep it.
-played my sampler.(a sampler is a small box used to play interesting electronic music. For this event I turned off all the lights and just let the music.. do its thing to me.
-went for a walk! I love walking out side and tripping.(provided Im talking a dose one can do this on)
-Talked to a friend on the phone
-and of course, just plain listened to music.

i like to lay outside in a hammock and stare out into the sky and get lost in it for a while. laying on a trampoline is good too, they both make you feel like youre floating.

Read a book, while listening to a nice Playlist. If you ever heard of Milkdrop, it's a plugin for Winamp. Which basically adds a plentiful amount of visualizations. However implements a feature where you can view the moving visualization on your desktop as if it was a background.



Not mine but a good example.

This is great as, every time you look up inbetween reading you see these magnificient trippy patterns which eventually take you into the journey you were reading about. I like to make a nice 6 hour playlist of all the best classics and good trance as well. Pick a nice book, and start reading.

Keep some prerolled joints, maybe 3... one every two hours. Always have something to draw on as well, even if you don't have colors. You never know when you have an idea or picture and you might want to draw or even write it.

I like to have a couple bottle of waters also, or something tastey. Ice tea, lemonade, fruit drinks, cherry slurpees, trail mix, anything penut butter.

I had some of my best solo trips following these guidelines.

while i am tripping, i am just singing from the beginning to the end. i take my mushrooms most of the times alone, in the night and in the dark. I can sing 4 hours a night, well i stop sometimes of course.

I just sing my own song and my own melodies, it's just perfect !! i will pass through many things in a night, have a lot of visions, and my songs will "speaks" to the visions. i just like it like this. :grin:

if i am sane enough to actually "do" anything, drawing with charcoal or using paint of some sort is the best. not only does it just feel amazing to express yourself through these tools, but you can get gritty with em and use your fingers/hands/whatever  :smile:

music of course.

some movies are good (mind fuck type ones), but I think most experienced trippers will agree that movies or TV are pretty synthetic and are a waste of precious time while trippin'.

when i solo, i like to play Ratchet and clank games on my PS2 until i get too tossed (they are unbelievably 3D and funny when your tripping), then i'll listen to good music, and do the art thing. i often like to go out and float around in the pool for a while. if it's windy or raining i'll go outside to watch nature at work.

Listen to my customized "brain candy" iPod playlist while laying in bed with my eyes closed.

Drumming. Very cool if you have some native rhythms to play along with.

Go for a walk among the trees.

Paint or draw.

When I get to a functional stage, I like to listen to or watch though-provoking material and write in my journal.

Although I prefer not to watch television, "1 Giant Leap" is a great DVD with world music and philophical discussion as to the nature of our civilization.

I'm never bored. Sometimes get a little lonely if the music invokes that mood, but all it takes is a change of input and that is solved. It took me a while to learn that...

i've never really tripped alone on psychedelics. or rather i guess i have, but i immediatly just begin to wander around aimlessly/endlessly.

i like to be around other poeple while tripping. there is nothing for me to do alone with my own thoughts.

i like to...

catch a bus somewhere into the countryside. one of those ones that takes an hour or two and goes through little rural villages i've never seen before.

go to a butterfly house

go to a zoo

draw in my sketch book - never did this before i got into acid. managed to keep up drawing for about 7 or 8 hours one time, that was pretty special

drink water - it feels so wonderful and life giving

walk in the woods

play with my cats

turn all the lights out, have a spliff and watch the CEVs

meditate

listen and dance to really twisted psychedelic trance

I mostly stay inside and do the normal things I do when I'm not tripping.  I always hit a point where I retreat to my room and get out the notebook and music but I like experiencing my normal life with the psychadellic mindset.  It helps me see things from many different angles...sometimes literally :mushroom2:

Well, depends on the substance, but generally speaking.

1. Looking at artwork
2. Going for long hikes
3. Listening to music
4. Meditating
5. Going into my bathroom, turning off the lights, laying in the bottom of the tub with the shower running - this is SUPER relaxing
6. Video Games - simple ones like Katamari, or ones that are really scenic, like Shadow of the Collosious
7. *cough*masturbate*cough*

But, #2 is pretty much #1 on my list - I love dropping early in the morning and going for a LONG walk. If its shrooms, I'll normally be down by time I'm home. If its LSD - I'll still be buzzing, but then its nice to relax at home / lay down / chill, then find a nice park and watch the clouds roll by.

1. Put on some music, turn it up, dance my head off, saying 'Fuck Yeah' the whole time
2. Write fiction
3. Write music
4. Talk with my cat(s)
4.5. Talk to myself
5. Walk in the woods
6. Smoke cigarettes and make plans
7. Think about the nature of the universe and our fragile, glorious time here.

when im solo tripping, i usually taqke a lower than normal dose, lay out a huge blanket/chill area and set up my guitar and amp next to it. WHen im tirpping by myself i can create melodies a lot better on guitar ive found, and usualyl jam out on acoustic for a while.
Listening to music is great too. I also love to go swimming while im tripping (water surrounding your body freels great). When i start coming down from the trip, i power up my amp and petals and make some weird noises/ambient music for a while. Its great.
