Could you possibly describing the forest of lights more? And how you felt emotionally during it?
Could that "place" be real? In some sort of other beautiful dimension?
Emotionally we were definitely connected, or at least I felt a oneness with her. She looked absolutely beautiful - and this isn't my girlfriend, this is just a friend, but seeing her in that light was awesome anyway. We were in a separate realm of existence/mind state together and somehow our brain chemistry is so similar that the medicine put us in the same place. Speculation, obviously, but it's the best I can come up with. It's just weird because we've smoked it right after each other probably 4 times before this and just had separate experiences - with mine being really weak because I find it hard to clear my mind and break through when around someone else.
All we could do at first was stare at each other in awe. Both of us had the exact same "holy shit, YOU'RE HERE?" type of thing. I honestly thought for a split second that we ascended together somehow and that the entire world was the same way we were, or rather was in the same place.
Usually I have the duration of my journeys within my head/with my eyes closed but they were open for the vast vast majority this time.
As far as where we were - my room became a forest, as I said. The curtains and walls turned into tree trunks that sort of encompassed the entire room. The tree trunks seemed to light up with pulsating light that traveled from the bottom of the trunks (walls) up to the canopy at the top (ceiling). Without me mentioning it, she asked if I could see the canopy above us, which I could, and later once back in this realm asked me if I felt like we were in a jungle/safari at that point, which is the exact feeling I got both from within and from what I was seeing. At one point she asked me if I could "see that?" - that being the ground moving and a sort of misty appearance about it. I could.
The funniest thing that happened was I remembered my dog was under the covers next to us and I said "you look crazy, I can see your veins... let's look at the dog!" and got him out. Little guy was cool to look at, but today upon reflection I'm realizing that this is the most lucid I've been during a journey. Typically I end up forgetting what seems to be everything, but this one stuck with me and I'm extremely grateful for that.
Even with a bunch of experiences under my belt, this one is going to stick with me in a major way.
As far as the place being real, it was real then and both of us were there. That's the best I can do. Once again, I've come back with more questions than answers.
