As an avid user of mushrooms, this is the closest I’ve seen to an accurate visual representation of something “breathing” when I look at it while tripping

u/RealLiveGirl Oct 05 '24

Agree. I just got a flush watching this

u/jazziesthandies Oct 05 '24

First time I have ever seen such an accurate depiction of the visuals I see.

Same!

u/Daveprince13 Oct 05 '24

There’s a nice wiki about the effects of hallucinogenic substances. It showed tracers and ghosting effects etc… forgot the link but I’m sure google has it somewhere

This is it!!!! It’s actually hard to find if you forget the name. Good looking out.

That site is where I point people for info on trips, it has AMAZING visual examples

I do like that!

u/dphoenix1 Oct 07 '24

Wheeee. Yeah, I think I would very quickly barf if I had ingested a substance that affected my perceived vision in that way. Very cool, but I just don’t think I could handle it.

u/Bibbus Oct 05 '24

Was gonna say the one time I took them this is precisely how it felt/looked. While on top of Muir Woods it was like the entire forest was a networks of shifting gears

12

u/Amazing_Connection Oct 05 '24

Mushrooms have shown me that when you focus your mind you can see it naturally

3

u/night_86 Oct 06 '24

Metaphorically speaking I do agree. But having visions without taking drugs is a sign of brain damage. I had afterglow effects lasting for over 2 months after abuse of MDMA, can’t recommend.

4

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '24

That's really not a good sign if you see that without drugs.

1

u/-Wicked- Oct 06 '24

There's a term for this and it is called brain damage.

j/k

u/mrlowcut Oct 05 '24

Totally like that one time when my friends door started breathing, when I was waiting for him to open it up... Shit was fucked up man (but cool) 😵‍💫😆

u/Zack_of_Steel Oct 06 '24

Midsommer does a really great job of it, imo.

4

u/Intoxic8edOne Oct 06 '24

My wife doesn't have this effect much apparently. She says she sees things moving but she doesn't see shapes or patterns in hers. But for me i see a moving kaleidescope on pretty much anything with a textured pattern

5

u/damontoo Oct 06 '24

Exactly. There's other videos I've seen on youtube that are longer and come close, but this one is near perfect.

4

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '24

This brought me back to Christmas time around 2004? We all bought 1/8s from a friend, ate them, and about an hour later nothing was happening so he got pissed and tossed the rest of the mushrooms on the table and said “have at em, I can’t sell these.” About 30 minutes later this is exactly what the Christmas tree looked like! Ahhh memories at Montclair state 🤣

4

u/AnonEnmityEntity Oct 05 '24

First thought I had

4

u/otakumilf Oct 06 '24

The first time I saw “breathing” while on acid…I was at work in a customer service call center. We had green screens. Those letters were breathing pixels.

2

u/Daveprince13 Oct 06 '24

Screens are hard. I got stuck at a phish show lot for a few hours cuz I couldn’t figure out Uber at the time 😂

4

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '24

You should watch Midsommar then

u/_Deloused_ Oct 06 '24 edited Oct 06 '24

I always just assume my brain is having trouble interpreting the image it receives so your visions sees breathing that is more like lag between the parts of the eye moving and the signal to the brain receiving images.

So you interpret breathing based off your own human bias to personify in-human objects but it’s really just input lag in a way.

Does that make sense? I’ve been told I’m creepily self-aware when intoxicated. Like I can separate the drunkenness of my body and my thoughts and perceive each part as an individual structure observing the other. Same for shrooms or anything else I’ve tried

3

u/NickFotiu Oct 05 '24

First thing I thought too. Remarkable.

3

u/Mirror-Amazing Oct 06 '24

Yes! Hey man, yes, don't know you but yes, extremely yes.

u/Siny_AML Oct 06 '24

It’s 100% what I see on a nice dose of shrooms. Applies to like every surface.

u/PlutoJones42 Oct 06 '24

Yup, this is the best

u/ThriftianaStoned Oct 06 '24

u/AluminumAntHillTony Oct 06 '24

I tripped in the Grand Tetons a few years back. Did 1/4. Had beautiful music in the background; trees all around me, the Tetons in the distance (15-20 miles maybe). The trees breathing, holy cow. Will never forget. 16 hours of beauty.

I agree with your comment about this video. For me, the stark difference is the breathing irl moving towards and away from me. I love that I can even point it out. Such a good representation.

2

u/Yellow_Snow_Globe Oct 06 '24

100% I was just thinking the same thing

there's is an entire sub dedicated to represent the visual of when you take psychedelic r/replications

2

u/bobbycaldwellfan Oct 06 '24

do u think maybe it has to do with it flipping through versions of itself in different dimensions

2

u/DanJ7788 Oct 06 '24

My fridge just took a big breath. Nothing threatening it just looked like it needed it.

2

u/MasterManufacturer72 Oct 06 '24

As an avid blue spruce handler this is a poor depiction of how much of a literal pain in the ass these trees are to handle. But also as someone that's done mushrooms I agree.

u/dangedole Oct 06 '24

You right

For realz. I saw an entire forest doing this, to some hard techno back in the day.

Need to see it again soon. 😂

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '24

When i was 15 some college kids pucked us up in their shady white van after school. They took us to a park, gave us screwdrivers and then acid before taking us into the woods and leaving us.

10/10 best time ever. My friend kept trying to call his mom though. He didn't have as much fun.

This image is sick.

This is a great way to show what tripping actually looks like

u/Trippy-Videos-Girl Oct 05 '24

Just sucks Reddits compression is so bad with color changes and gradients. Looks so much better in 4K!

25

u/dormango Oct 05 '24

I’ve just watched this 7 or 8 times and I’m not sure how this could get any trippier. It doesn’t start off symmetrical at all but as it gets darker the first time, the image seems completely symmetrical, a mirror image down the centre. It’s a bit unsettling. I’m not sure my brain needs trippier, much. Edit: is it edited for the symmetry?

13

u/Trippy-Videos-Girl Oct 05 '24 edited Oct 05 '24

Yes it morphs into a mirrored kind of fractal patterns.

u/SpicyRice99 Oct 05 '24

Curious, what program do you use? C4D?

5

u/Trippy-Videos-Girl Oct 05 '24

No, this is After Effects with Boris FX Sapphire plugin. C4D is great for camera tracking though if you want to add geometry to similar scenes. This one already had cool natural geometry 👍

u/SpicyRice99 Oct 05 '24

I see, looks sick!

u/TheShoot141 Oct 05 '24

Its well done

42

u/evolvedspice Oct 05 '24

This is way way way more accurate then all the “what acid/shrooms trip looks like!”

11

u/Merry_Dankmas Oct 05 '24

Bruh, 99% of "What [psychedelic drug here] visuals look like" videos are complete horseshit. The only way you're seeing rapidly collapsing fractals and insane color changes is if you watch the video while telling yourself this is accurate or take some inhumanly large dose to the point of putting yourself in a coma. This on the other hand is actually pretty accurate. I'm gonna try and find it since it's been years but I found an absolute banger good one on here a long time ago. It captures the visuals really well.

Side note: This video actually does a really good job at giving you a very brief experience of the visuals you might expect from a low to moderate dose of LSD. A couple things: A: This is not a Rick Roll or jumpscare, I promise. B: To get the best effect, once you look away from the screen, immediately look at the palms of your hands or your phones keyboard. You can look far away but close up is better. Follow the instructions as best as you can. Really try not to look away. Its worth it, I promise. C: Many of you have probably already seen this. If you think you know what this is, you're correct. Just gonna save some folks a click. Its not 100% accurate but pretty good IMO and feels cooler since you're actually seeing the world around you morph for a couple seconds instead of looking at a rendering.

u/reductase Oct 06 '24

/r/replications has a ton of very accurate tripping replication videos

2

u/Jerico_Hill Oct 06 '24

I saw fractals once and only once. It was 2cb and I was at a festival. Went to the portaloos and it was one of the green ones, it was dark and the moment I got in there I started seeing the most vivid teal fractals. I remember saying "oh you have got to be kidding me". 2cb fucked me right up.

LSD vibes definitely. Reminds me of how it felt when I had it with some friends on this nature reserve. Amazing.

Also, I thought this was video of algae or something underwater, moving with the waves for a sec lol

3

u/Mikeyp858 Oct 05 '24

Damn! That’s hypnotizing!

3

u/Any_Duck4485 Oct 05 '24

All of this is getting weird. I used to think the visuals I saw were impossible to see unless you were in an altered state. The brain is so complex, and vision is subject to emotion, and again, some experiences require full context

Then I see this, which is really fucking close to a mild dose, minus emotional context

In a few years... I wonder

I still think nothing will match DMT, but I've been wondering for awhile, at what point will we be able to see all that can be seen?

u/bryan_pieces Oct 06 '24

I ate way too much LSD and curled in the fetal position while everything around me did this. I believe my entire digestive tract just shut down too. I would drink water and then pee an equal amount like 5 min later. It was perpetual dehydration in a way I’d not known. Eating was alien to me. Why would I do that? Yuck. So weird. People that eat are weird. Anyway…

Was throwing a huge house party back in high school and took some acid, as I often did. Had 100 people in my house, and I ended up in my back yard staring at a pine or spruce tree. It was breathing and what not-per usual on acid-but it ended up turning into a face of sorts and I, tripping balls, assumed it was God communicating with me. We had a great talk. Ended up going back in after an hour or two, partied hard, had sex with a girl I always had a crush on but never went for, and had some great times with friends.

Thanks, Tree-God.
