This likely won't be quite as crazy and exciting as some of the other reports here, but SWIM feels the need to share it anyway, especially since SWIM is not ready to tell his real life friends about it yet. Anyway, this was SWIM's first time...
SWIM had got done creating the spice earlier that day. SWIM never had the spice before. SWIM tried twice and failed at consuming the spice, and in the process wasted most of what he had. However, SWIM had one good dose left, and he modified his method of consuming it. SWIM noticed that this third time, the smoke was much harsher, and he felt like he wouldn’t be able to hold it for longer than a few seconds. He was worried that it wouldn’t work for a third time, but then he felt it – ‘this was it’.
The first thing that happened was the room started to expand a bit, and then the sound that everyone mentioned starts ringing in SWIM's ears – it was sort of a ‘shimmering’ sound - SWIM recalls it sounding a bit like a mouth harp being played at a really high pitch. Right after that, SWIM had the sensation of not being able to expand or contract his lungs at all. SWIM read about this many times, and he thought he was prepared for it, but it happened while he still had his lungs full with the spice, which worried him, because he couldn’t possibly breath in any more.. However, shortly after that he “forced” himself to realize that he was breathing again and then everything was okay. Next, SWIM felt a sensation of being pressed into his bed by a heavy force, especially on his torso area. He could still slightly move his arms and legs, but his midsection just felt paralyzed.
Then came the visuals. To be honest, SWIM can’t really be that descriptive about them, they were just too all over the place. He was staring up at the light in his room and spinning, warping fractals were surrounding it. He couldn’t really push himself to look at much else, so he closed his eyes, and saw patterns that vibrated along with the sound that was ringing in his ears. SWIM also felt his eyelids blinking very lightly, but quite rapidly. There was only one coherent image that SWIM saw the whole time, and that was a baby’s face. It started out normal, and then turned rather grotesque, and went back to normal. Not quite sure what it meant… if anything.
The ringing began to fade, and he opened his eyes. He was back in the real world, and it felt like he had just awoken from a dream. His limbs were a bit jittery, but otherwise he felt just fine. He recalls that he had one main thought the whole duration of the trip: “I never thought anything could do this to your mind”. Sadly, SWIM forgot to check what time it was before he consumed the spice - he was interested to know how long the trip lasted.
SWIM also regrets leaving his ceiling light on. It made it hard to close his eyes and focus on anything. After SWIM calms his body down a bit he's going to go for another ride in a couple hours or so, this time with the lights DIM!
