I have taken 2-3 hits of the same potent batch many times over the past couple years but I’ve never had such an intense mental and VISUAL trip from JUST LSD in my life and that’s saying something! Maybe it’s because I was smoking DMT for 3 hours in a row the other week followed by a few more DMT trips in the couple weeks leading up to this one. These 2 hits just hit me like a train so I guess there is a possibility they were dosed a bit higher than others, but I feel like the DMT trips really affected this trip in a positive way. It definitely felt like I took at least 3 which was strange… anyways, I’ll begin!
5PM - took 2 tabs at my place. Waited for my fiancé to get ready. She had to work the next morning at 10AM so she couldn’t trip with me.
530PM - start to get minor sensations.
6PM - still only minor sensations and brightening of lights. Usually I’m almost peaked by now.
630PM - We start walking to Universal Studios and this is where I REALLY started to come up. I thought I should’ve taken more but it had a delayed fuse on it this time. Lights are very bright and start to twinkle.
645PM - We are waiting for the tram to take us up the hill to the front gate. Almost fully peaked. Lots of distortions. Feeling great.
7PM - We finally get to the gate. I’m a little concerned because I’m tripping HARD by now. Walk through security and get into the park…
710PM - WOW!!!! Let me set the scene- it’s dark outside and there is a pretty big crowd of people. They have Christmas lights everywhere along with all the normal lighting and music playing.
The second I walk into the park, I see all the lights everywhere and the top of my head just opens up and my mind branches out like a tree around all the lights! It was like psychedelic candy for my eyes that made my mind explode! The visuals are CRAZY at this point.
We walk straight to Hogwarts for the Harry Potter ride. All the buildings were dancing and color shifting through every color, changing as they bounced between every color of the rainbow.
720PM - We get in line for the Harry Potter dark ride. The line is like walking through Hogwarts. It’s incredible as the music changes. Something amazing happens as we finally catch up with the line inside where the pictures are talking on the walls. I have been walking this whole time and hadn’t had a chance to really stop moving.
The second I stop moving, the lights everywhere engulf my entire vision. I see these warped rooms dancing but the lights take over. I start seeing words surrounding every single little light shooting out from my head. Everything turns into a disco carnival of lights warping into a tunnel of rainbow words. I see veins of words and energy coming out of everyone swirling into a giant tunnel and the tunnel starts to go on forever as I can no longer see or feel my body anymore. The crazy part is I understood my mind and thought process to the point where the mysteries of collective consciousness started to unravel further and further until all I saw was information bursting from my higher self moving into a swirl of infinite thoughts and information.
I’ve had sustained ego death before, but THIS was momentary ego death that continues throughout the night every time I stopped walking. I merged with the collective consciousness every time I stood still for more than 5-10 seconds. Even if this lasted for only 30 seconds at a time, those 30 seconds felt like an eternity!
I could go on and on about how rainbow color explosion the rooms were, but it’s indescribable! I finally got on the ride and WOW!! My tracers had increased to at least 2 full seconds. The ride felt so intense but I couldn’t really follow the story, it was just my mind exploding with information. I do remember getting stuck on the ride for a few minutes where the dementors were. I heard the ride operator speak and as soon as I did, it was like my mind made a map of the persons feelings and emotions as I was also seeing the mechanics of the ride in a tunnel of rainbow information.
8PM? - After Harry Potter we walked all the way down to the lower lot to ride the mummy. At this point, everything I saw formed a tunnel of information with the center being a bright white light. Time itself started to twist into a 3D swirl as a looked back at my trip and time continued to swirl into a tunnel just like everything else.
We wait in a short line. Everything looks like a cartoon on LSD! The ruins and hieroglyphs on the wall made me see the Egyptians and I started seeing a map of information showing me so much about ancient Egypt.
We finally get on the ride… it has a short story in the beginning but is a roller coaster that blasts you off into the dark. It felt like I was literally on a rocket ship flying through my mind. I’m laughing hysterically on this ride! The tracers were incredible in near complete darkness.
830PM - we ride transformers. The line has blinking red and blue lights that keep hypnotizing me to leave my body and again join the collective consciousness. If only I could remember how deep I really went because it’s so incomprehensible that I couldn’t understand or remember much after I started to walk again.
The ride was super fun. You have to wear 3D glasses and it was so full of tracers and colors that I could barely see the warping screen but it was still loads of fun.
850PM - we have enough time to ride the mummy again before it closes. Just as much fun the second time!
9PM - We walk back up and start to leave the park. Still incredible seeing the lights so much so that I’m glad I could hold onto my fiancés arm so that I don’t get lost in the lights that are constantly overriding my visual field.
915PM - We exit the park to city walk and I look up at the sky. The tunnel I’ve seen in time and everywhere I’ve been is now a giant rainbow wormhole in the sky swirling towards the light deep in the center, very similar to DMT.
Every person and the collective consciousness had veins of flowing energy that connected everyone in the huge crowd to the giant tunnel of energy in the stars.
As I walked around, I saw myself from a higher plane walking and I saw my normal self with a shell of insecurities written on the shell of my body. I was able to increase what looked like Super Saiyan Blue from Dragon Ball Super surrounding my body to burst through my shell which looked like my ego breaking down. The aura surrounded my body as I recognized myself. I still continued to slip in and out of the collective consciousness to being everyone/no one simultaneously back to being my higher self surrounded by a super saiyan aura of words around my body. This continued until I was able to walk back to the tram.
955PM - caught the last tram down the hill to start walking home. I tried to comprehend what I had just experienced but even while still peaking, it was hard to recall the things I had seen.
1030PM - we stop at Ralph’s to get some fruit. The store looked like a laser light show everywhere. I’ve never seen a supermarket look like a rave before and it was tons of fun
it was tons of fun
11PM - get home and still tripping hard. I have a galaxy projector on the ceiling and turn on Disneyland music as I try to make sense of what I’ve seen. I try to vocalize everything to my fiancé as I started to come back down into my body. I remember my body shaking randomly as it felt like my mind began to be pushed back into my body.
1215AM - I'm still having great visuals but nothing like what I had experienced earlier at Universal. I finally feel like I'm back in my body so we watch the new Dexter we’d been waiting for. It was incredible even though their faces were stretching and warping all over the place with rainbows colors leaking out of the background and a giant flower growing out of the sides of my TV. Every moment felt great from that episode.
1AM - We watch the new SNL and I start laughing so hard at certain parts that I’m crying. I finally feel like I’m back to me and my mind has returned down from above me.
2AM - My fiancé goes to sleep and now I decide to smoke some weed. I’m shocked at how much it intensifies my trip this far into it. I turn on Shang-Chi and have a great time the entire movie.
4AM - still smoking weed and still have some residual visuals and decide to watch another Marvel movie. Still an amazing experience.
6AM-11AM - I ended up staying up until 11AM! I just could not fall asleep. I had residual visuals until about 8AM. I just couldn’t stop thinking about the time swirl of total overriding visual disco carnival lights, concepts, consciousness and words that was my trip at universal.
——————————————
DMT has shown me some incredible wonders, but I’ve never seen so much color and understanding than in this trip. There were many moments where the visuals took over in a way that was as intense and as blinding as DMT but the information I saw was presented in a different way. I have been in sustained ego death before but I’ve never had it come and go. Merging into the collective consciousness and becoming everyone and nobody at the same time was such a beautiful feeling.
