I don't really dream. It's extremely rare to the point where I'll have a handful in a year and I don't remember them. Waking up with an emotional reaction to an odd dream inspired by life events or entertainment... Then the details slip away from me and I can't even talk to anyone about the experience.

What's it like for you?
Do you enjoy, dislike or analyze your dreams?
Is it really a window to the subconscious for you?

I’ve taken every exotic research chemical and psychedelic you can think of. I can confirm hallucinations work the same with aphantasia.

Although I didn’t ‘trip’, which is the delusional state people get into when they take pills/mdma and stay up for a few days. Start talking to plastic bags, on the phone with their hand, etc. might just be me though.

This is a pretty specific usage of the word trip. Most of the time when people say it, they mean they had an above-threshold psychoactive experience (usually in the context of psychedelics). Don't get me wrong, depending on what and how much you take you can certainly trip and find yourself doing that stuff. But many people use 'trip' or 'tripping' to describe experiences that don't reach that point.

You sound experienced, so I'm curious how you landed on this definition of trip/tripping and what you called your experiences instead (if you use a casual term at all).

Using it like that sounds more American.

Uk loves to binge. Take a couple dozen pills each over a long weekend and people will start talking absolute nonsense. Lots of weed and coke mixed in too but seemed to be mostly the mdma and sleep deprivation that triggered it.

Small stuff like them continuing a conversation with you that you weren’t having, and then acting like a dementia patient when you correct them. To walking in on someone having a full blown conversation with a laundry detergent bottle.

No set name for the usual level of hallucinations that weren’t delirium. Usually just say something like out my tits/box, full of it, completely fucking spangled, etc.

Ahh, ok. Didn't have the UK context, and yeah, admittedly my usage comes from a North American context.

Appreciate the answer!

I wonder what legal options there are. Can't lose my job if I get tested.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Most psychs don’t show up on a panel just find out what the panel tests for.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I wouldn't know where to get anything safely. Going to look into what's available legally.

[–] auraithx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 hours ago

Salvia if you’re brave. World might fold in on you briefly and it’s legal because nobody has fun on it lol. But it is strong as shit and will certain fuck up your perception for a few minutes.

Most of the other legal things are pretty naff and will probably just make you feel a bit sick and fuzzy around the edges (morning glory seeds).

Depending on how strict the laws are in your area there might be some loopholes for exotic psychs but probably not the best entry. Probably best just going looking for some mushrooms, they won’t show on a standard panel.
