Since shroomery is not providing any discussion, I'll share key parts of my experience here. Here is full trip report.

I did my first mushroom trip 2 weeks ago and I got some very good insight into the nature of reality. Part of it could have been hallucination, but there's many things that I can't doubt or ignore.
I did 5g and got totally lost into the experience. There's few topics I would like to discuss:

1) Has anyone had an experience that reality is a dream? That's what I was shown and realized in the trip
2) Reptilians. They reside in 4th dimension right? I googled other people's reports, but mine seems unique. I began speaking/channeling this weird Arabic/snake-language. Then at one point it felt like I was having dialogue with someone. Eventually I get taken over by a reptilian and I get aggressive towards another member. I'm pulled to the ground. I realize I can't defend myself, and then try to hypnotize him and download his mind. I felt fine the whole time, nothing evil, but my memory blacks out big time in this period.
3) DMT visuals. I heard that if you take big enough dose of mushrooms, you can have DMT-like experience. I was at my bungalow and my wallpapers had this kind of textures and it also felt like the room was moving. https://www.reddit.com/r...ntation_of_dmt_entities/
This was the most trippy part, but it didn't last long
4) I had almost no hallucinations. What I experienced later in the trip was distorted reality. Everyone had 4 hands, 4 legs and 6 fingers. My wallet was double the size and I had multiple ID cards. My iPhone swiped from left to right. This was all a static view. What can explain this phenomena?
5) The whole experience had this dream/spirit/lucid-like feel to it. The world looks the same, but is it possible I enter some kind of spirit realm? Towards the end my body is floating and feeling unbounded, like I have no spine anymore. It's almost like I'm blending into reality (astral body??)

I have this feeling that I was invited to experience higher realms right away. 10 others who tripped just saw normal reality with visuals, bright colors and sounds.
I was feeling totally euphoric and transcended, like it was the end of the dream and I would continue to live in this spirit-like realm forever.
When I came back I was very confused and like I had no point in consciousness. Next nights when I went to sleep, I often felt awake and like I was in another place. When I woke up, again, I wasn't sure where I was and needed to convince myself. This happened even today even though I'm back home from traveling.

So big trip, what's your thoughts?
Overall I'd like to try DMT. I'm not really interested in trippy visuals. I want to gain insight and see more of what is out there. I've had long fascination with out-of-body travels and astral projection.

Yes, of course.

Can you elaborate? The world around was exactly the same, but I lifted off in my head so to speak.
Early on in my trip I felt very connected to the energy around me and started to channel that language just by feeling the energy around. Then the reptile connection, is it possible I was entering astral realm?
It was early evening and I didn't explore landscape, so I didn't see any "spirits". But when I went to see others, it's like we were in an elevated reality. Not hallucinating, just being

And then the big comeback from the trip. I had totally lost sense of where I was and what had happened. I looked at my phone. I felt strange satisfaction to see all the apps again. I remembered my personality and assumed that I was back in this slow-mode reality again. I looked at things like weather and clock like I was almost re-discovering them.
I was somewhere else during the trip, but I can't make sense where...
I had one out of body experience where I didn't have form. It's like I was astral essence. At the end of the trip, I was feeling similar, not in my physical body anymore, still bounded by it but more like in the light body.
I also think that my ego blacked out and I was in a witness mode later part of the trip. Maybe not ego-death, but transcendent however.
If I blacked out SO BADLY I must have been at a high place

Sounds like an amazing trip 💓 You think you are gonna take this medicine again?

When you use the sacred plants and fungi you are opened up to the realm of the unmanifest. Cosmic consciousness. When you feel your body disappearing, as if melting into the whole of reality, this is the interconectedness of all things. The body melts into its place in Earth and in the cosmos. These are the first stages of trancendance, in my experience.

If you wonder why you didn't have hallucinations, hallucinations happen when the body becomes immobile, once it can't function (and generally totally disappears.) Deep visions are like a little death; they generally happen when you abandon your humanness totally and can not interact with the world any further at all. Retreating into the psyche, one finds other worlds there. This is how deep visions occur. Deep visions can go so far as to the beginning of existence itself; total emptiness and eternal silence. The psyche goes into its place in existence.

I will, but I have mixed feelings. I was shown a lot of high level stuff, so in order to top it off, I would have to take another high dose again. I want to retain balance where I take them in a spiritual way to explore.
When I say hallucinations, I mean senses not making sense anymore. Seeing funny visuals and such.
In terms of vision, I had this experience:

Oh I see, I understand what you are saying. Very nice. I'm glad you got to experience this. The experience grants valueable insight. Hope you can have a fine follow up trip to possibly further your knowledge of these amazing phenomena. Do consider mescaline/DMT, to shake things up. For what you have discovered the wise of the past have used the analogy of the snake in the string; https://youtu.be/QURJ-T4hONQ

Thank you. You're the first one to suggest the vedic model as description for what I experienced.
I think I need to explore these vedic ideas of "all is consciousness". Last year I was hardcore buddhist and a truth-seeker for the absolute. I ignored all small phenomena and was only interested in Nibbana or Brahman-state.

Big check for this one. I felt this way even after coming back from the trip.


I don't agree with this level and did not experience most of these. But it could be my background and belief system. I still hold on to the subjective experiencer-view. I'm not a big believer in one-ness based on my own experience.
One consciousness sure, but I believe we all experience it individually.


I agree with this one. I didn't think death was possible in this state.


I had moment of intense joy, but could be normal with shrooms. The controller part of the ego totally broke down and couldn't resist this joy.

In my experience, the deep deep, unfathomable DMT flash is where you go into this, never shrooms.
