What to do during a trip

[aryaman]

Well... this is a problem I have recently on trips.
While I'm tripping, I just wonder to myself "and now, what I do?", like a boredom fear, and I have to do something. Otherways seems to me I' m just wasting time, and is not a confortable feeling at all.

Now... do you also have this problem?
And how do you solve it... you find something to do, or whatever?

Is just that, in trips, I try to get the point of why tripping, i try so badly...
Would like to get more from my experiences

With a sufficiently high dose and a sufficiently dark room, you will not feel like you need to do anything. I've also had the feelings you're describing here, but hardly ever during high dose sessions.

I still had with 6 gr of shrooms, in the dark.
I cried, for that...
and also, I love low doses, don't like the idea of taking only very strong to escape this problem.


Is anyway good to hear I' m not the only one, thanks

movies are always excellent, especially movies like the wall (cliche) and i honestly loved texas chainsaw massacre on some doses, basically any psychological film is good.
i also like to write or draw cuz despite the fucked mind state the ideas flow pretty easily

I know it is controversial, but if you're tripping mild you can take your bicycle and cycle slowly through your environment. It's unpredictable and requires adaptation and especially that has given given me intense joyness, people had no idea how ecstastic my inner life flew. I truly sensed how everyone was contracting and how they were aware of each other's awareness which constantly checks and reflect with each other. No one could stand in full relaxtion and no one performed his or her motor control as he or she truly is. In fact, acted behaviour seemed more important than own identity.

It's really fascinating to see how the eyes and lips of human beings are automatically regulating projection for defense and outgoing signals.

If you make eye-contact, you literally can see in a split second how people would react in certain situations and get a fairly decent indication from their index of their character as well.

I once encounter a dust-bin and stood by it for about 10 minutes. I tried to imagine what the people look like who threw different kinds of trash in it. It are that kind of things in where you're getting wraped up, too.

You have to keep the dose fundamentally much lower than you're used to at home or any other sheltered place of comfort. Especially with shrooms.

I've had it as well, even on higher doses. If the wheather is good, going outside in the sun is a great option. It just tunes you into nature and you can just sit down and enjoy being alive.

Most of the time I try to solve the problem of life.

Yes, bicycle rides can be nice, especially if there are safe paths and nature is in bloom. The first thing I did when I dropped acid was take a shower and go outside running, which I did for one or two miles, telling the few pedestrains I came across how wonderful I felt and that they should really try LSD sometimes. My running came to an end when I ran into my ex, who gave me a lift to the forest on her bike, where I continued my blissful state of discovery.



Many times on trips I felt that I should really be doing something else, like call someone or write an email to tell them something, but that I have to wait till the effects are over before I can do any of that. The good thing about those thoughts during the trip is that I usually feel quite motivated to do these things the days following my trips.

Though I definitely feel like creating art when I'm high on cannabis, I don't feel any confidence about my abilities when tripping.

Actually, I definitely had that feeling last year, which is why I was thinking of setting up a way to have guided trip sessions. The trips don't need to be guided intensely, but with some comments and questions every now and then, and the right types of music for the different phases, the sitter could help steer the experience in meaningful and ecstatic directions.

it makes sense that riding a bike would be good while tripping
the first time anyone tripped on lsd they rode a bike :lol:

 

[magickmumu]

make music.
:idea:

I can't play any instrument, I am a juggler-equilibrist... and definetly can't do those things while tripping

Thanks Caduceus for your tips... actually a guided trip would be really interesting, someone who gives you a method of travelling... also I was thinking of making myself a method, and just try to fit in during the trip.

Like... my last though was to invent a story, and during the trip impersonate one of the characters of this story. Surely with a sitter who makes the master-storyteller would be better! I' ll try out!

Also a sitter that ask you staff, and makes you think would be nice but... ok, I have to admit it, I' m almost alone here

A pity that I live a city where biking is really hard... and unicycle is also worst, looks like a great experience


About tv I don't like to sit and watch tv, when tripping, and I can't stand anymore solving the problems of life, in his ontological meaning.
Too heavy... now I feel like I have to play, and smile.
But thanks anyway for tips

Also be with a new person tripping, and explor her should be interesting... many ideas for my future trips here =)

 

[Tunnelvision]

dude...just go into nature on a sunny day

 

[Caduceus Mercurius]

Also be with a new person tripping, and explor her should be interesting...

Yes, if the exploring has already commenced before the trip itself. Otherwise you might feel nervous about how far you can go.

We don't take a trip to "do something" (it's about psychédélics, of course you can take amphetamine to do something , for example)
we take a trip, to have a trip, that's all

if you don't know what to do, you just aren't really "tripping"

btw I had that feeling a few months ago with DOC & 2c-e , I think the feeling of wasting a trip is a sign that your set (state of mind) wasn't good.

maybe you should prepare the trip, write some questions or points of your personality that you want to work on, or maybe you should try making music / writing / drawing while you're trippin'

it also can be you take it too much often
and feed your head between the trips, your mind needs somthing to build you a trip

You can learn some breathing exercises and yoga postures while you're sober, and practice them during your trip. Or blow soap bubbles.

 

[LsDxMdma]

soap bubbles are always fun

I also like to browse the wikipedia when I'm on LSD lol

(at the end of the trip there sometimes are more than 30 opened wikipage in my browser)
