Effects - Tripping in a dark room

[Liquidcande]

tripping in a dark or dimly lit room.... would this ruin the trip?

doesnt there need to be something visual for your mind to play with??? or does the location never matter. i havent done it before.

Who knows? I've never tripped, but this could be an enightening experience. Especialy while meditating.

If SWIM is going to trip in a dark room, SWIM prefer to close SWIM´s eyes and enjoy closed eye visuals.

SWIM agrees. SWIM has tripped in a dark room before and had some of the most intense closed-eye visuals...very geometric shapes with vivid colors and such. Tripping like this can be quite an experience as the visuals are more up to your imagination as opposed to something you already see being warped and such.

Also, while SWIY is doing this, grab a flashlight every once in a while and turn it on and put it right up to SWIY eyes for a few seconds...then when SWIY blinks or closes their eyes SWIY will also get very intense visuals. Of course this may vary depending on how hard SWIY is tripping, but SWIM is just telling from experience!

Enjoy!

Terence McKenna surmised that the most rewarding trip would be achieved in an environment with no outside interference whatsoever i.e. a dark area completely void of light, sound, smell etc. SWIM's never tried it himself as it is hard to obtain conditions such as those without having access to a sound-proof room or a hideout in the wilderness but it certainly sounds interesting. I'd imagine it would be incredibly intense. Somewhat similar to the sensory deprivation experienced in a flotation tank.

on a couple of occasions swim and his friend have gone and sat in the bathroom with the lights turned out. the visuals are much more intense and it is easier to get lost in yourself (in a good way).

Monkey's most rewarding introspective trips have involved being in a dark room. For journeying within he likes to get in bed with the lights out, eyes closed and some headphones on, going completely inward.

SWIM believes that sensory deprivation can be very pleasant when tripping whether it be the full spectrum of senses or just one. Not sure why exactly this is. SWIM has not had all that much experience with sensory deprivation on LSD as he has very little attention span on it, however he has played with it a few times while on DXM (a long time ago) and felt it was VERY enjoyable - and mostly due to CEV's.

SWIM realizes there is much difference between LSD and DXM but as far as just blocking sight he imagines both would result in some pretty intense CEV's.

Dimly lit rooms are good for tripping, eyes open or closed. Your mind has to jump less mental gaps if things are not clearly lit.

Dimly lit rooms are good for tripping, eyes open or closed. Your mind has to make less mental jumps if things are not clearly lit. Then turn the lights off completely, get some glowsticks and wave them around!
