03.08.18 | Got to see Trey Williams of Dying Fetus put away his monster of a kit. He's got one of those huuuuuuge containers for his rack that has a spot for every single piece. He was kind of a dick to the techy that was helping him cuz it looked kinda complicated, but i'd probably be impatient after years of that as well. |

03.08.18 | Took antipsychotic drugs to recover from Schizophrenia. The first few nights of taking them, you get CRAZY dreams. It's about 1000 times more intense of a dream than you'll ever get regularly, and a lot scarier. I saw this tubby guy getting torn about by a computer machine, and part of the dream was that he was being transferred by flesh and spirit into an eternal alternative dimension called "the everco-crease" (or at least it sounded like that. i swear im not making it up it's all just a bit scattered/scatterbrained in my memory). totally surreal and freaky |
pjquinones747
03.08.18 | Goddamn. I was actually smoking with this girl I'm into last night and she was telling me about how she used to get sleep paralysis and would always have a figure standing by her bed when it happens. It's that kinda shit that makes me think that dreams have some profound connection with the supernatural. I'm very torn on how much I want to believe any of that stuff is real, because I feel like pleading ignorance could only expose me more. Or it could truly just be tricks the mind plays on itself. Either way...............what the fuck |
deathschool
03.08.18 | I've taken antipsychotic drugs as well. The dreams are bizarre as fuck, agreed. |
kamasavia
03.08.18 | It's pretty common to have sleep paralysis and believe some kind of figure or entity is in your room with you. I've felt like some kind of demonic presences a few times. It's pretty intimidating but at the same time I don't think I would necessarily conclude it's a real entity. It's possibly a brain chemistry phenomenon. We are instinctual hardwired to be weary of predators and stuff so it might just be some evolutionary mishap.
The antipsychotic dreams are FAR scarier than any sleep paralysis incident. But also more surreal and hard to make sense of. |
pjquinones747
03.08.18 | I haven't had a single memorable dream in a couple years. Either i'm extremely ok or far off of the deep end.
@kam See thats what she told me but my mind just jumps to "DEMONS!!!!!" maybe it's just cuz my mom shoved religion down my throat throughout my childhood |

03.08.18 | pjquinones, see the thing is, it really feels more like demons than anything else i've experienced. i heard very intensely powerful menacing vocal cadences and just this ultra menacing presence, like an actual agent of satan was there. but the giveaway for me that it's more likely a brain mishap is the fact that i didn't get slaughtered. lolz |

03.08.18 | Weird. I used to have sleep paralysis years ago, but it never happened while I was taking those particular drugs. |

03.08.18 | I once had a dream that I walked into my little sisters room cos i heard some old Sabbath playing and found my older sister and her bf chillin there. the perspective then flipped and i was in my sisters bfs body looking at me and it turns out i looked like one of those scamps from Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion if it had been drawn up by MAD cartoons. I was fairly young when this happened and told my fam and they subsequently decided that black sabbath, oblivion, and MAD were all the devil
EDIT: @kam i guess that makes sense. based on horror films ive seen based on true stories (lol) demons seem to "case the joint" before they jump so that doesn't do much for my fear of demons and shit but i suppose my fear is fairly irrational to begin with |
kamasavia
03.08.18 | lol they're probably just making sure you're scared of them so that you're not arrogant and thinking you're above a demon. Just cower in fear like the rest of us and they'll leave you alone. |

03.08.18 | yeah once I´ve been to africa and I had to take some anti-malarian pills that are causing crazy, super intensive dreams as well ... one night I literally dreamed that I slipped into some kind of supernatural state of being NOTHING in a supernatural state of nothingness what was super scary and still is terrifying me everytime I think about it |

03.09.18 | I was at party once my friends dad had thrown, and everyone got wasted and out nowhere people started playing with an electric shocker, and some chick was like "if you shock your balls with that, I'll lick your asshole"

03.09.18 | Also, I once had a dream where I was on a ridiculously high cliff overlooking a city, playing the original Gameboy (I believe I was playing Link's Awakening). I ended up falling off the cliff, and my dream ended right when I "landed" back in my bed. When I woke up, it felt like my bed had just bounced hard, as if I really fell on it from my dream. That was fucking weird |
Deathconscious
03.09.18 | @gmember what the fuck. |
ScuroFantasma
03.09.18 | No sleep paralysis, but a few interesting dreams to speak of. One I can get out of the way pretty quick was 'dying' in a dream. I fell from some height and actually hit the ground instead of waking, felt my body ragdoll, break, bounce a little off the floor, then everything went dark but I was still conscious in the dream. After a few moments I finally woke up.
Also I accidentally became lucid in a dream once, and only once. I was some werewolf creature or something, running through backyards at night and digging under fences. I became aware that it was a dream at some point and then did what they do in the movies: decided to pinch myself. Except I was a werewolf and instead of pinching, I bit the back of my hand near the thumb and tore out a chunk of flesh which freaked me out enough to awaken. |

03.09.18 | i had sleep paralysis for a good portion of my teens (i very rarely get it these days) but it's one of the scariest things you could imagine, i would also get figures appearing as if they were walking across my hallway into my bedroom, dark shadows where you can't pick out any details, but mostly it would just be this overwhelming sense of dread and fear, and my ears would start ringing as if I'd been standing next to a loud explosion
i guess it's kinda surreal, but I was a couple of seconds away from drowning once. I used to kayak a lot with a club, and I'd had to capsize a million times before (it's literally the first thing you learn) but on this occasion my foot had got caught in a bundle of rope in my kayak, and i was stuck underwater with my kayak on top of me not being able to get up. I eventually managed after about 30 seconds of being stuck to free my leg and when I was pulled out the water my face had apparently gone blue nd I was sent to A&E. Quit kayaking after that and only do it on occasion these days. |

03.09.18 | Also In northern california atm we have a huge homeless problem. Its not new but the amount of homeless people is unprecedented. And the shit thats been happening is surreal Its like that episode of south park.
if youre walking home at night you will trip over one. They do drugs across the streets from the schools and take over stores and rob them and the police dont care anymore.
I sell firearms and theyll come into my store go to our knife section steal one right in front of me. I know this doesnt seem surreal but imagine me demonstrating the use of a high powered rifle to a hunter and a homeless dude walks up and steals shit right in front of me and tries to beat me up because i accuse them of stealing. This happens weekly. They are taking over |
Demon of the Fall
03.09.18 | re the sleep paralysis thing: yes, the first time it happens the experience is horrible, especially if you aren't aware what's actually happening to you. Once you know what it is the acceptance makes it a lot easier, it's still surreal but nowhere near as terrifying.
So just a tip for anyone who's never had it (& might one day experience it), you'll be able to see & feel (half) awake but you can't move, this is the scariest thing, don't panic you're not actually paralyzed. Also, some weird shit might happen visually but once you know it's not too bad (especially if you've ever done hallucinogenics). |

03.09.18 | Oh shitttt, there's people here that I can talk about sleep paralysis with??? I'm 32 and I still suffer from it, quite occasionally might I add. Sometimes it's just me asleep and gaining consciousness but not being able to move or speak and feeling suffocated and screaming in silence while it takes every ounce of energy to wake myself up. I'm terrified that one day I won't be able to wake myself up and I'll die, I guess we'll see about that. Other times, I just have these horrendous night terrors and the minute I wake up, it's like I'm a crazed maniac. My gf recently said one night I just got in her face and started screaming at the top of my lungs with my eyes wide open and flailing and she couldn't snap me out if it, and when these things happen, I never remember it. I've had a lot of episodes like that, once in my sleep I threw my arms through my bedroom window (my bed is right beside it) and I had to go to the hospital, after I woke up might I add. Sleep apnea runs deep in my family, and I'll legit stop breathing in my sleep and I'll wake up suddenly like nothing happened. I also never remember my dreams, but I know when I had a bad one cause I'll wake up with the anxiety and fear. And sometimes, I'll just sleepwalk and do weird shit, like pee in a laundry basket, or something odd like that. None of this was probably very coherent, I just kinda ranted lol. |

pjquinones747
03.09.18 | Damn dude. I truly hope I never have to experience that. Sleep apnea definitely runs in my family and at my tender age of 23 I've already noticed some heavy symptoms. My diet and sleep habits already don't bode well. I'm here for a good time, not a long time. |

03.09.18 | Intense thread is right. One time I almost drowned at a huge wave pool when I was little at a water park and my dumb friend convinced my naive ass to go in when I hadn't before, life guard had to pull me out after feeling strangely peaceful and everything going black.
I've never experienced sleep paralysis before, sounds terrifying. A year ago for about 2 weeks, my whole body stayed numb all over, almost dropped all kinds of things throughout that time, then the feeling slowly came back. Had all kinds of MRIs and neurology appointments afterward, no one knew what the cause was. I searched online and it's happened to others and no doctor's had any real explanation. Weird stuff. |

pjquinones747

03.09.18 | One time me and my buddy did a bunch of shrooms, and lived our entire trip in deja vu. Like, we were somehow predicting everything that was going to happen, almost like we could tell the future. It's super hard to explain, but it happened. But, I also in the same night had chiggers coming out of my mouth, and I swore that I transcended from the couch into a cave. But that deja vu has always stuck with me, this happen to anyone else? |
TalonsOfFire
03.09.18 | The only time I had enough shrooms to really trip was during a trip to the Boston arboretum a few summers ago with a buddy of mine. We jammed MGMT and Radiohead on a mobile speaker and walked around and observed all the wildlife. Yes album covers make complete sense to me ever since that experience. Nature is like a heightened reality fantasy land where everything takes an enhanced form and sensory perception is heightened. Any longer and animals might've started talking to me. |
pjquinones747
03.09.18 | Hell yeah. I got some friends that fancy raves out in the forest a couple hours north of where I live and tripping balls. Apparently nature invites those who like to trip. |

Nomos
03.09.18 | Nailed it Kam. I used to get sleep paralysis. It's fucking terrifying, but definitely the shared characteristics are brain phenomenon. People will talk about something sitting on their chest (Old Hag Syndrome), but that's the brain filling in the gaps while you're paralyzed. Terrifying, though. Stopped getting them and I'm so glad. |
Nomos
03.09.18 | So two years ago a friend and I were going to a bar in Vancouver while I visited. The last words out of his mouth after we parked but before we opened our doors was, "I wish we could score some mushrooms". We get out of the car, and a STEREOTYPE of a man approached us. Haggard, un-bathed, and toting a mini bongo drum, Background Hippie #4 walked right up to us and asked, "You guys wanna buy any shrooms?"
We did, of course. And after some drinks we went back to my friend's condo, turned on the new Cosmos, and ingested. Well, pretty soon Neil Degrassi The Next Generation Tyson was just too fucking weird for us while the mushrooms crept in and gave us some weird vibes, so we sat out on his balcony and tried to let it sink in more. All I got was my usual gut rot and mad anxiety. The clouds were lookin' real fine, but besides that, not much of an effect. "I'm going to bed", he says, and we decide to smoke a massive joint. Bad decision. We smoked some of the best pot I've ever had moments before the mushrooms surprised-kicked-in.
What happened over the next two hours was something I'll never forget. If you've never had a really intense mushroom trip, I might just sound goofy, or like I'm exaggerating for effect. Also, I'd highly recommend mushrooms. Anyway. My prior trips were characterized by subtle visual effects: the stars vibrating, being connected by dots, etc, colors seeming vibrant, and the usual euphoria.
This was not what happened. The effects of the marijuana amplified the effects of the mushrooms. People: DO NOT MIX THE TWO.
It's very interesting. Your brain is suddenly forging new neural pathways and you're interpreting stimulae like never before. This adds effects to your vision similar to optical illusions. Then your brain comes up with the first interpretation it can think of, resolving the real world with the overlaid illusions, and you get some goofy hallucinations.
He was wearing big yellow Mickey Mouse slippers. The slippers were now leaving behind yellow paint (afterimages) wherever he stepped. His neon-blue hoodie was positively glowing (I complimented him on his wardrobe later). When we waved our hands in front of our faces, our fingers left afterimages as well, and they were ghostly. Think of that first beach scene in The Beach before they make the swim.
"Check out the bookcase!", he demands. The bookcase is jelly. The records are squirming. All parallel lines are now curves, like a reflection in running water.
This was my favorite part: shared hallucinations. Nothing psychic, just our goofy lizard brains misinterpreting bad signals in the same way. |
Nomos
03.09.18 | I turned back towards the TV, which was thankfully off. Depth was gone. In my vision. Details far and near evened-out to a flat plane that seemed like mere feet away. I mused at this for a bit. We couldn't stop giggling.
Then I realized that my own thoughts were amplified to extremes, and immediately affected my mood. If I imagined something positive, I was filled with positivity. To my horror, if I thought of something negative, I felt depressed, and would vividly see horrible things in my imagination, but more absolute and precise than any image I had imagined before.
That was maybe the precise moment where I had a full appreciation for the tenuous net that holds together the illusion that we call "consciousness". Or "self". Me, you. It's nothing. It's paper-thin. And when you chemically induce the brain to a blank slate, free of barriers or familiar though patterns, it all falls apart. Reality is nothing. We are what we perceive, and our senses are fragile beyond belief.
I have had a markedly different personality since then, and a different outlook on consciousness and life. That is to say, a grander appreciation for it. It is a gift, and our level of consciousness when compared to evolved mammals like us is something to be cherished every day. I became a little more care-free, less angry, and more pleased by the little things.
The hallucinations went on and on, and I started to feel like I was losing my mind.
As the pot wore off and we returned to the gentle, warm embrace of psilocybin-induced euphoria, he went to bed. He tells me that he continued to see his thoughts manifest in the darkness of his room, while I put in earbuds, went to his 11th-floor balcony that looks over Burnaby, and listened in full to the masterpiece that is Makeup and Vanity Set's "Wilderness" until 3am.
In summation: some turd on the internet giggling and saying mushrooms changed his life. It's highly subjective, and something you kind of need to experience first-hand to see any gravity in. But it was honestly the weirdest things I've ever experienced, and maybe one of my favorite experiences of all time.

I've had some pretty intense trips on shrooms too and I've always smoked weed while/before it kicks in and I feel it relaxes the nerves. |
Nomos
03.09.18 | Haha I guess the trick is to moderate the amount of weed you smoke before the trip. It was the most intense thing I've ever experienced, and it happened while we sat on the couch giggling and waving our hands around and looking like idiots. We found out later that my ex, and his now-roomate (long story) was in the second bedroom and heard the whole thing. A little embarrassing in retrospect. |

03.10.18 | The one time i took shrooms nothing especially crazy happened. I didnt hallucinate very much. Everything just seemed brighter and i felt like i was sinking into and becoming one with any chair i sat on. But at one point i went to my room and played Halo: Reach and i became so immersed that everything but the TV faded from reality. Its like i was in the game. When i set the controller down it was like my vision zoomed back out and i realized where i was. I totally forgot everything else existed and it weirded me out and i had to leave the room. |

03.10.18 | Sounds fun Adolf. My friend had the same first mushroom experience: he watched Tron: Legacy and said it was one of the best and move immersive movie experiences he's had. Did you take a small amount? I find that movies and most music are too intense on mushrooms because of the variety of intense emotional roller-coaster up-and-downs you experience. Guess it just affects everyone that much differently.
Fuck yeah Talons. That sounds like the perfect trip. Nature is so enjoyable on a deep level while tripping. Astral projection, is that something you believe in? When I was 17 I was really into the paranormal (well, still am, as a guilty pleasure) and I took some online test, and the results were so accurate that I creeped myself out. I guess it was probably all coincidence.
But fuck I love a good trip, as long as it remains positive. Last May I went back to BC and we drove like 6 hours, 3 of which were on all gravel roads, into Canadian Aboriginal reservation land. No cell service, almost no people, no stores, no services. Found a locally-cherished "secret" (not anymore) hot springs that a camp site set up around it by local members of the reservation. Great way for them to make money in a typically impoverished and insular place. There were maybe 100 or less other people camping in the area. Hard to tell They were the nicest people I've ever met in my life. Every single one was stoned on something. Everyone bathed nude in the hot springs together every night while staring at the stars and making friends out of strangers. When I got too hot and popped out, people kept coming up and initiating conversation and offering me tokes or pot candies. The 2-3 "employees" of the camp ground were very well trained to find people in distress tripping. The trip from the campground to the hot springs was a 10 minute hike up a very steep hill covered in jagged rocks, edges over rushing rivers, and shifting, loose gravel. We all forgot flashlights and make our way up individually, tripping. Also, pitch black, no moonlight. My buddy lost his depth and color perception and got lost in the forest and crawled around on all fours like Gollum until a nice older woman found him and dropped him off with one of the camp ground caretakers. He probably could have died but he was laughing so hard about it after. Witnessed the friendliest fistfight I'll ever see. All in all one of the most purely positive and bizarre experiences I've had.

That's part of why it's important to me to attempt astral projection, it's the first unexplainable/supernatural idea that actually seems possible to participate in and find out the truth about for oneself. |

03.12.18 | Any particularly unique stories about it Blackwater? |
BlackwaterPork
03.12.18 | Pretty run of the mill sleep paralysis tbh, I get it around once a month or more depending on stress levels. First time was the worst cos I panicked and convinced myself I was suffocating |
pjquinones747
03.12.18 | That's the worst. My stories mostly pale in comparison to all of this. Nothing sleep related and the rest are relatively predictable drinking shenanigans that you might expect from anyone. |

03.14.18 | So did any of you guys that tried astral projection subsequent to this list achieve anything? If you say no I'll assume you've been inhabited. |

03.14.18 | haha I'm actually gonna try this afternoon when I get home from work, wish me luck. Tho I believe it's supposed to take a lot of tries before anything happens. |

03.14.18 | It's appropriate this thread came back up since I can't stop having nightmares that leave me feeling super weird throughout the entire day. So awesome -_______- |
TalonsOfFire
03.14.18 | That sucks. I had my first nightmare I remember in a long time the night before last, I think from those news stories a few days ago where explosive packages showed up to people's houses in Texas if anyone heard about that. In my dream I entered my house after work, and terrorists had stuck cameras and bombs in my house and said over an intercom that they were gonna blow them up if I left. My mom and I had to act very sneaky and strategize to escape, which we eventually did, then SWAT and all these police showed up and defused everything. |

03.14.18 | A couple days after the bulk of the comments dropped on this post, I had my first dream in a couple years. I was a teacher with an insane student who hated me and I was scared he was gonna shoot me and a bunch of my students. We were also in some crazy Jetson's ass lookin city of sorts. |

03.14.18 | I dreamt I was held down and forced to watch people pour acid in dogs' eyes. |

03.14.18 | Holy hell coldheaven. That's metal as fuck.
I'd also like to point out that I don't know if I've had another list get nearly as many comments. |

03.14.18 | Yeah dude, it's some wacky scary shit. |
pjquinones747
03.14.18 | Sounds like it! You should compile a storybook. |
Thalassic
03.14.18 | When I was younger I used to have this dream that always messed me up. It was mostly in a slightly different setting, but it always ended the same. Now there was always something water involved; a beach, a swimming pool, a lake... And there was always something "off" about the setting. For instance I was walking in first person view through some indoor swimming complex and there was always some weird shit going on. I can't recollect all of it, but as an example I saw a kid sitting by the side of the pool with one leg, bugs in the water...etc...etc...
The way the dream always ended was that eventually I ended up underwater and when I opened my eyes suddenly there was always an eyeless dog (that looked like my late grandparents' dog) underwater swimming next to me before I snapped out of the dream
Man I can't count the times I had that same dream when I was a kid and I vividly remember how it used to fuck me up big time |
cold
03.14.18 | Goddamn thalassic, I know exactly how those dreams are. My occurring one from childhood is my mother trapped in the bedroom of our old house being raped by pirates. I've had that same dream since I can remember. Another one is a continuous closing-in picture of an old aluminum trash can filled with pulpy guts and blood and bones. I really wish I was making all this up, because when I type it out, I realize just how insane it all sounds. No wonder I wake up screaming a lot, lol. |

03.14.18 | Tell me about it, maybe I'll do what pj suggested and make a storybook over time. Nightmare fuel. |

03.14.18 | You want some of my dreams? It'll get real spicyyy |
DinosaurJones
03.14.18 | From the sounds of it, I think I'm good.
I do occasionally have dreams of family members dying, which is sad. But I rarely ever remember my dreams. And even if I do remember one after I wake up, after a day or two it fades away. Nothing surreal here. |

Thalassic
03.14.18 | When I was a kid I also used to have a recurring dream of me being lost somewhere and at the end I always found myself near a tree. When I looked up there was always some kind of dark featureless being sitting in the tree seemingly staring at me
Goddamn I'm glad I don't have any of those anymore |
