Most intense mushroom trip to date
    #7499713 - 10/08/07 10:08 PM (16 years, 3 months ago)

I have some previous experience with mushrooms; my first trip was about an eight and since then I have tripped 4 or so times all with doses ranging from 2 to 3 grams. I have also tripped 2 hits of LSD once. Some friends and I decided to buy an ounce of some mushrooms, and trip at one of my friend’s house. On the day of the trip three of my friends where there and all ate 2-3 grams each, I weighed out 3.8 grams of almost all caps and ate them plain on any empty stomach along with 2 vitamin capsules I got from my friend.
I decided it would be fun to play halo 3 on Xbox live while coming up. Soon I can’t stop smiling and know I’m starting to come up. Before I can even play through one game I simply no longer want to play. I head upstairs to lay down on the couch, and can’t stop laughing or smiling, not to long after that I go downstairs again and go out on the deck with my friends. We talk for awhile and by now I’m starting to get very apparent visual distortions, and I once again want to sit down so I went back to the couch that I was on earlier. One interesting thing that I remember from soon after I sat down was putting my hand into a loose fist and looking through the opening formed and it looking like it was reflecting myself inside of my hand, it was really cool.

The rest of the trip is difficult for me to remember and piece together but I will do my best to explain it and keep it in chronological order, but I’m sure it won’t be completely right.

At first it was very similar to my past mushroom trips. Soon I began to lose my ability to connect things and form ideas and thoughts, it was a very strange feeling but at first kinda fun. I started to be unable to find anything familiar, everything seemed completely different and nothing like what I was used to. Another really interesting thing starts to happen at this point; every sound that I hear is repeated and faded out even after the sound is made, for example if someone said “hi” I would hear “hi hi hi hi hi hi” until the sound fades out, this seems to happen for hours but I have no idea really.
After sitting and thinking for an amount of time that I can’t measure, the door bell rings, I look over to see the sister of my friend whose house it is. This doesn’t worry me though since she knew we were tripping and she has tripped too. I struggle to open the door and she comes in with inflatable pool toys, this really confused me. My friends who were downstairs came up to see who was at the door. I now have no idea what is going on, and become extremely confused.
For the rest of the day I can’t figure out what is going on and for awhile even forget that I have taken mushrooms. Slowly everything began to become intangible I was struggling to understand basic concepts and couldn’t place myself in space. It almost felt as if I was floating, my sense of touch was really messed up and I started to lose my ability to distinguish between senses. I remember trying to think of things that I normally do and couldn’t figure out how those things work or much about them at all. At one point I was trying to think of water was because I knew it was important but was having problems imaging it or thinking of what it really was.

I head back downstairs and sit on a chair but can’t really tell if I’m sitting on the chair or the floor. It feels like I am floating from back and forth between the two. I go into the bathroom and look in the mirror while I’m in there, my eyes are really red and I remember thinking that I knew that that was a problem but I didn’t really know why or if I should do anything about it so I just ignore it. The next thing I can remember is being out on the deck and thinking about what death was and I realized that I couldn’t tell the difference between death and living, I simply couldn’t figure it out. Around this time, it think, I also couldn’t tell the difference between having my eyes open or closed, which was really weird, but I’m still not quite convinced this really happened since its seems kinda crazy, but I remember thinking it.
For the remainder of the trip I slowly started to remember that if I waited, even though I wasn’t quite sure how or why, that it would end. I then began to regain the ability to form thoughts better and connect things as well as remember some simple things.


This is missing A LOT and is most likely somewhat out of order, but time wasn’t something I could relate to, so I just did my best. I do remember being very concerned and bothered by the state that I was in, I think what happened is that I began to accept my current state as my reality and that wasn’t good since I couldn’t connect thoughts or anything and everything took forever and was ridiculous, also I had no clue what was going on. But I’m not really sure, I could be completely wrong. One thing that is for sure is that it was by far the most intense trip I have ever had.

Nice report!

Yep, you, my friend, had an Ego Death. Your description correlates with an Ego Death perfectly. This is the psychedelic experience, really - transcending all of the preconditioning contrived by culture and returning to the original wisdom of the animal mind. If you had been in absolute bliss, not caring about what happened or was going to happen, then you would have experienced an Ego Loss, an experience that is quite difficult to attain without having experienced an Ego Death first!

Anyways, I enjoyed reading the report. Keep on exploring. :thumbup:

That is cool. 3.8 grams is about the average dose for me that I'm comfortable with-5 grams pushes the outer boundaries, anything over 8 grams and I'm slipping in and out of being conscious. The eyelid thing is cool-I have seen through closed eyes on mushies before. Your senses extend beyond the physical shell.

Thanks for your replies.

I have read some on ego death in the past but didnt really understand it, so I thought I would look into it more and I found this:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ego+loss

Since it is urban dictionary I have no clue if its right but while i was reading it I found this:

"it can sometimes be seen as a state of total confusion, not knowing why anything happens, why it should, or why you feel the need to want it to or not.

Usually occuring during an intense trip, seeming like it is the only answer and it will be how you live the rest of your life, but usually forgotten by the time one wakes up, not much unlike being in the mode."

And that is exactly how I felt, so I was wondering if that is infact ego loss or death (I dont know the difference between the two)

Check out some of Dr. Stanislav Groff's writings. He describes perfectly what an Ego Death is and what an Ego Loss is. In my original post, I pretty much differentiated between an Ego Death and an Ego Loss. It sounds like you experienced an Ego Death.

Urban Dictionary:
The first sentence you used sounds accrate; however, the second sentence doesn't really hold any truth.
