Just curious as to if anyone out there writes down their experiences in a journal of some sort. Over the years I've always thought about it but until recently did I pick one up and start my entries. I keep it by my side and write by candle light as soon as I'm back. I note the date, time and dosage followed by the experience. I really enjoy putting these wonderful experiences on paper.

Yeah, I have a lot of the early stuff written down. It comprises several chapters of a book I wrote, but did not publish called "Converted by a Molecule, or How I Knocked My Metaphysical Socks Off," . It's very biographical, but has a lot of trip and some dream journaling in it for a period of time in particular that involved rather heavy use of all the traditional psychedelics (DMT, LSD, Mushrooms, etc.)

Right on! love those titles! I don't go into detail when right about my LSD trips, just note the dosage, time, day and what I did. For instance wandered around the family golf course and in the undeveloped back nine's woods. I do go into detail when writing about these holes I fall into on Ketamine. I only use three substances. LSD, DMT, and Ketamine.

i have several hundred pages of dreams, synchronicities, events, thoughts, and trips that travel back 5 years or so. its an invaluable activity IMO and is hugely underrated. The process of turning your mind inside out into text can be a mind-altering experience in itself. Plus, i'm often utterly amazed at what we can forget 0.0

For dreams and psychedelic experiences that moved me significantly I keep record in whatever form I can. Sometimes I write it down in a book but mostly I write it on the computer and save it in my dropbox account in case my hard disk fails... I can write faster on the computer, so that's why I prefer it to pen and paper. But I agree to universecannon - writing these experiences down or generally writing as a way to introspect is really a great tool.

yea doing it on the computer can be great because of the speed, and other reasons..like when you want to do a quick cntrl + F search to find something specific

As someone who is into astral projection I keep a journal close at hand and I'm planning on writing my DMT experience down soon.

My last entry was when I was doing some energy work and tranced out to the point I was at the threshold of awake/sleep and got introduced to my female archetype called the 'anima'.

Soon after I got some C.G.Jung books and learned a lot from that night.

I was totally sober and way before DMT found me.

I wrote my dreams down the momemnt I woke up for nearly two months, but I don't enjoy writing first thing in the morning. It became more of a hassle. I agree, writing on the computer is a much faster way to get the experience in words. But I feel I will really appreciate this journal in 50 years. I draw images realted to the experience underneath each entry. If someone where to stummble upon the future completed versons 100+ years from now I think they would find it quite interesting. I also mapped out of Tek diagram.. It's a nice journal.

I've thought about doing so, but I don't honestly have the motivation

It would be quite interesting to see how experiences with various substances evolve over the years, with one's experiences and memories being much a part of set and setting, imho.

I also feel that writing my experiences may also help integration of what I experience.

Yeah. I like to write things down in the ending stages of the trip, or during if it's a very low dose.

It's interesting to go back and re-read what I felt needed to be written down later, very insightful.
