Effects - Inducing hallucinations.

[engagenirvana]

My friend asked me to ask you guys about whether or not there is a was to make yourself have a specific type of hallucination. On my friends trips he has never been able to have any visual halluciations. He tries watching those trick eye things on youtube where it makes your vision distort but it worked the same as when he wasn't tripping. He always has tactile and sound hallucinations, and once in a while he feels he can taste music. But my friend really wants Visuals!!! Tell him whether or not there is a way.

Maybe SWIY isn't taking a high enough dose?

Or if that isn't the problem then try smoking some cannabis while you trip.
SWIM finds that it always increases visuals for him.

Well the first possibility is that it isnt acid he is taking, but assuming it is SWIM induces more hallucinations by setting his mind into a almost dream like state, if one is always trying to cling to reality he wont hallucinate as much. For SWIM it feels like he shifts gears in his mind where anything seems to be possible. Its hard to describe, but the best way i can describe it is to just reject reality and allow the drug to take control.

In addition to the above posts, it's possible that the person is expecting too much. Many acid users go to great lengths to hype up the experience: on LSD one never actually "hallucinates," in the traditional meaning of the term. Even on batches that are very strong (400ug and up) SWIM has never hallucinated--thought something was real that wasn't. Strange thoughts? Yes. Strange visions? Yes. Seeing your dead grandmother crawling up your leg with a kitchen knife? No.

SWIM also gets different kinds of visuals from every batch he has tried. He doesn't know if this is subjective or not, but he would assume so. Some batches cover the room in fog, drip the ceiling, and make the floor snake. Some batches don't provide visuals outside the warm hovel of the eyelids.

SWIM says: the best thing one can do to produce a better response to visuals is not to expect too much. As I have said in many of my posts, no one has ever taken an average dose of acid and ridden Tim Leary's unicorn uni-cycle into the unified universe--well, and believed it was actually happening, anyway.

So after all that, the best way to try to inspire visual phenomena according to SWIM is via the tried and true methods: strobes, blacklights, projections, loud music. A great deal of the visual experience is generated by what the body is feeling/sensing, so something like loud music can turn into shapes and spirals in a flash. The most important thing to do when visuals do start appearing is to float downstream. Don't try to stay conscious or to escape, just focus on the visual and let it take its own forms. That should get them going.

SWIM has never properly hallucinated, even on high doses, only a few things stood out but nothing like he expected before trying LSD. He thought LSD was all 70's colours and flowers evrywhere, nature talking and and hands turning into balloons. But the reality its exaggerated. SWIM does find the world around him very colourful, but not vivid colours, SWIM does find he can talk to nature, but not an actual 1 on 1 conversation, SWIM does feel like his hands could be balloons, but they dont actually tunr into balloons. You see where im going with this?

The only strong hallucinations SWIM got were: a cathedral wobbling as if made of water, or it was a bouncy castle, the hairs of his legs looked live like little snakes swimming in the ocean that was his leg then they turned into smoke, and clouds turned into 2 armies charging into battle against each other. They all sound strong when writtten down, but appart from the cathedral wobbling, they werent really strong hallucinations, they seem strong but if you were there it wouldnt have seemed like they were strong.

To answer your question, yes maybe one can train ones mind to induce hallucinating whilst on psychedics, but SWIM doesnt know how to.

Excellent description. Realistic

My friend will try all methods mentioned thus far on friday and any extra input would be greatly appreciated.

SWIMS isn't very experienced with acid, but the first time SWIMS was with a group of people around a table, and SWIMS didn't know when it should kick in or anything.

SWIMS finally dimmed the lights and stared at a door frame, and it started to twist. SWINY has to learn how to leave everything and everyone else, and just stare at something as if being hypnotized by it. Think about what SWINY wants to do with that object. Do you want it to twist, or move up and down, or change size, anything. And then it will most likely happen.

SWIMS first visual freaked her out, bad. SWIMS was staring at a Buddha statue really close up, and it's nice, laughing smile turned up and the eyes turned red and devils horns appeared. SWIMS screamed and jumped backwards, only to fly under the table her friends were at, and cling to someone's leg for five minutes.

Watching a film like the yellow submarine or the wizard of oz might help.

I'd say closing your eyes and concentrating on what you "see" is the best way.

Other than that, as said before, maybe it's not LSD swiy have. Swim as found that his liquid makes him have little visual distortions at 1 dose, and total world deformation at 2 doses. When doing 2 drops, swim has seen flowers get fluo blue in the dark night, and he's had real hallucinations (seeing double helixs following anything he was looking at, things like that). I'd say it's all about the quality and quantity.

Just to clarify, technically, such a phenomenon is not a true "hallucination." I know it's semantics, but it's important to make this distinction because the term hallucination implies that what one sees is real to the person, the person believes it is happening in the real world and is completely unaware of their altered mind state.

SWIM has seen these things too, tons of things like that. Entire rooms sheathed in cellophane cobwebs, but he knew that it was all in the mind, and that is the distinction that separates "visual distortions" from "hallucinations."

stare between the eyes.

For the OP. LSD visuals seem to take a little practice for some people. One important thing is to drift off while looking at something and "unfocus" your eyes. Kinda look to the sides of your vision.

For any other LSD users in the house, stare between the eyes of this chick above. Right in the center between the four of them. On a good dose, if you relax, the face should morph into other faces. Kids etc. Works for everyone SWIM knows. Also check out the other vids and the pic for the psycho somg.

Using your third eye to stare at a blank wall is SWIM's tried and true method.

Try taking more LSD or weed, if that fails go download winamp and play music with the milkdrop2 visualization on.
Theres also something called g-force for windows media player that is good too
Swim never listens to music without milkdrop when hes high (and mostly when hes not)
