If I do stay closer to the ground with the 2g but still have vivid-ish visuals, I think I want to watch "The Wall." I've got a poster of it and it was really fun to look at the hammers marching and the snake-things move around, so I figure why not watch the film.

Scary....
Man, sounds like a crazy experience. Just spend less time being cerebral. I think when you think about not thinking, the NOT thinking becomes thinking and then you think yourself silly. Heh.
You have def. learnt a LOT from this experience, I think its just that some of us have now taken for granted how the tiniest bit of information from a trip like this will come back after some time due to some random association, and you will see the diff. in your thinking only then.
Im glad also as others here, to hear that it didnt put you off coz what you described could easily have that effect on someone.
As others have already said, lower dose. Also I know some people ahve mentioned in other threads that The Wall probably isnt the easiest thing to have in yur head before a trip.
I would say either stick to positive information before, something nature, like Plant Earth or something, or better yet, just blank and trip in nature (If you are comfortable there.)
Also perhaps a day trip may be slightly better for you. Sometimes night trips can have a very paranoid and claustrophobic feel if you are not well prepared.
Good to hear you are ok, and take care of yourself.

That's a good point. I like salvia and DMT at night but shrooms are friendlier during the day for me.

2g?
I was thinking like 1.5!! You should really go low and start from the ground up, not be coming down from a tree and dropping from a high branch to a lower one!
You can have a much better experience IMO if you start like this. Be patient, and you will learn the power (not that you dont know after this one!!) of the shrooms, but you will gain insights and be able to use them to your advantage when you get higher up.
My recommendation would be have some every month and a half/two months (1.5, 1.5, 2, 1.5, 3.5, 3.5, 3, 1.5). Thats a whole year for you. Thats just me though.

Thing is, I dont have any issues either way. And I used to dose like 5-6 every time, and always was alright till I got to 7, that fucked me up a bit!
Point is, though I can do both, I have found that the quality of the trip differs, as you said, they can be more friendly in the day. I have always felt like a mouse in a maze (or carboard box) when inside during nighttime, easily finding myself uncomfortable or fucked up with certain light schemes or different levels of light. I found the trips more focussed on random little distractions and couldnt get the big picture.
You focus more on the random shit here I feel, where in the day, its a more open, natural light feel, with ablity to go from random shit to big picture and back easily.

Alright, I'll definitely go for a day trip next time. I think the best part of my trip was for a few minutes when I went outside, even though it was a bit cold and wet I felt i just had to lie down in the grass and marvel at nature. So during the day it'll be comfortable!

Hey, thing about day trips is, 'set and setting' of course. I have found the hustle and bustle of the city/suburb is not good for tripping. However, if you can find a more relaxed place, then there is nothing wrong with the day.

I don't believe day or night is better than either one. They both have their ups and downs. Example: During the day you can marvel at our earths nature. During the night you can marvel at the stars and universe.

I don't plan on tripping anywhere like that ever (a city)

one time while I was tripping on a bright sunny day I layed down at the edge of this long flat field and felt like a lion or something scanning his land. sounds kinda dumb but it was nice.
my only bad trip started outside as well. I was walking around in the woods behind my house when I found a cat skull. I took it back to my house and let the notion of 'this could bring me bad luck' cross my mind. everything went downhill from there.

Well even though it was scary as fuck... it was still one of the most awesome experiences i've ever had. I cannot wait to try again.

My last trip with mushies i spent my peak watching Planet Earth, the episode shallow seas (my personal favorite, on a massive hdtv with surround sound. Now some will say that this is a waste of a trip, but it was most certainly NOT. Planet Earth is so incredibly beautiful, and its truly enlightening, makes you feel amazing about the world around you. After the hour episode was over i went out and did my normal tripping activities in the happiest mood ever. Do yourselves all a favor and at least check out like twenty minutes of Planet Earth while tripping sometime.

I say you should do less and if you can, with other people. I've only tripped alone one time and I just can't picture having a good trip alone unless you have a lot on your mind that you can just lay and think about. But if you're doing it just to see what happens type of thing, seems a lot of times it ends up bad.

I have never seen Planet Earth while tripping, but my suggestion was due to the fact that I can see this being the coolest thing ever, awe inspiring raw beauty of nature et al. I mean, not tripping, its fucking cool, so seeing it tripping must be an eye-popper!
Thanks for the confirmation!

Wow, my first trip was almost identical to the first part of your trip. I started off great, only mine lasted a couple of hours being great, but then it started to get scary.
I forgot who I was, where I was...everything seemed fake, unreal, and I started to get scared. Luckily for me there were people around so it didn't get too far out of control but I could totally see it having gone that way if I was alone in the dark.
My next trip wasn't much better but then I realised that there were things in my mind set that I didn't realise at the time but they were having a negative influence on my trip.
The 3rd time I made a conscious effort to repress these thoughts and to distract myself with family guy and music. Once you make it through a trip and you can keep out the bad thoughts you realise how easy it was and next time you can have a real trip without distractions to really go inside yourself.

Yeah now I know what happens and if it starts goin bad i'll just tell myself that I have taken a drug and even though it seems like im gonna die it'll pass. Plus it might seem a bit morbid but the things I saw when it went bad were still pretty cool.
