First time
A train in a 7th dimension
A friend and I decided to try salvia yesterday. I was tired of the Fantastic Four of drugs: alcohol, caffeine, tobacco, and marijuana, and wanted to try something new. We got a gram of 15x from a head shop.
We were outside, in the middle of the night, on a wooden bench between his house and his garage. After about three hits I sat on the bench looking between the roof of his house and the sky. Looking through my eyes, I could see the house and sky once in a while, but also some other place, very vibrantly colored in all of the Crayola colors, would slip in, overlapping my vision. Patches of my vision would disappear, and instead I would see into this new world. Eventually it was all I could see.
I was intent on describing this fantastic world to my friend, but the only word I could come up with was 'train', which doesn't describe the situation at all. There were giant rings of colored plates or tiles. The rings were beside eachother, extending to my right and left, but I couldn't turn my head to look at them. I was actually embedded in a ring, like I was a plate. I knew I had a body, and that I was coming back to reality soon, but I felt that my face was a plate in one of these giant rings. My friend's face was also a plate in the ring to the right me. Happy, shiny people goaded me to tell my friend about this, 'tell him! tell him!' they said. They seemed very nice and supportive, inhabitants of this area. So I tried, but the best I could do was wave my hand between our faces and say 'here'. He didn't quite get it.
The whole trip was inside this kind of tunnel, so I'll describe it. The rings of tiles were in an open space, but they were enclosed. There was a way out of the rings - by stepping in between two of them - but everything between them looked flat, like it wasn't possible. New fields would pass through the things I was in. It was definitely another dimension. New things would gradually appear and disappear, like they were intersecting the three dimensional space I could see. Many of these objects were obviously connected. Like part of a lump growing in one area, then the rest of it growing in another, eventually joining, then disappearing. There were a few of these dimensions that had different objects extended into them. I wondered what other amazing intersections must happen between the other dimensions, but I couldn't visualize it. At best estimate I would say there were 7 dimensions. The number just rings for me.
I tried to explain to my friend that there are things in this world that are things because they call themselves things, that I didn't claim them. They passed the knowledge onto me about their name and nature. Like how we can observe the natures of things in science, they were telling me such nature exists and I can have it.
I wish my experience were more enlightening. I tried again this morning a few times but failed to get anything but a cold sweat. My girlfriend apparently is immune to the stuff, but my other friends enjoyed it. I'll try it again; I've definitely found my drug.
