Storm trippin

[Mr.Peabody]

Have you ever tripped during a storm? I absolutely love tripping during a storm. It's such a brilliant feeling standing there seeing the trees sway, the rain come down in sheets. Everything is so alive and energetic, and the power and majesty of nature is unmistakable.
It's funny how averted we humans are to rain, when the rest of nature absolutely loves it.

I wish there was more thunder and lightning where I live, I'm sure that would be quite interesting during a trip.

Have any good nature stories while on an entheogenic journey?

one time i had just finished inhaling a decent sub-breakthrough dose, when suddenly a thunder storm exploded outside. It came out of no where and it sounded like my window was going to break. high winds, lightening, thunder, and hail bigger than anything i'd ever seen (even after i came down :- P )

Events that I have witnessed whilst indulging the fabric of what my "everyday" consciousness' experiences through the veil of fundamental simplicity that is liquid sovereignty has always been enlightening - to say the least - as such is the true nature of this world. Knowing what we're told about the vessel yet never being taught how to get to know the pilot has been for some reason, hysterical during the onset of lysergamides in the early years of my "tripping".

For something to be entheogenic - in all my wisdom and understanding I feel I have from the word; it is always a storm. :?:
Weird. This whole place is just weird. Beautiful- perfect and absolutely sacred too I mean don't get me wrong! I do have something with some usage of some connotations to describe somethings that mean some-thing so eventually I've concluded all somethings are just that something and even a nothing is a something because hey- what's art if it isn't human's divinity to interpret an experience which is essentially, "nothing" (by laws of matter and thermodynamics) and turn it into a "something"? Music is a perfect example when you feel so close to the experience that goose bumps and orgasm-daggers shoot up your spine synchronizing with the love of just knowing.
The more I open my eyes I see it's all a storm. When I relate too then, the liquid sovereignty of psychedelia; I hope anyone reading this understands that the word "enlightening" doesn't always mean happy-go-lucky live and become Bhudda experiences. Enlightening is the expansion of everything. Kind of like a circle. If you want to split it somehow you can try 50/50 percentages and label one side good and one side evil but all life is just all of the emotions experienced at once. Your conscious mind doesn't always see it that way. The psychedelics can invite mystery, the unknown. The storm of random universe.

Yes, the storm is a great metaphor for the chaotic, sometimes almost apocalyptic tumult of change. Coming down from a high dose- of anything really- can have a feeling reminiscent of the clearing after a storm.

We have intense weather here in the American Midwest, and are situated smack dab in the middle of tornado alley. We also have a big glassed-in sunroom enclosure where I like to get baked and park myself during the really good light shows. They can go on for hours sometimes. Haven't taken anything stronger during one of those... Don't know if I want to be worrying about twisters while hallucinating.

I was out trippin on mescaline in the storm last night. Good times!

I used to trip a lot on camping trips, so I have seen some truly awesome displays of lightening and torrential three day downpours where you just accept the fact that you will not be dry when out of the tent. Once while peaking on acid and sitting on waterlogged ground next to a nearly overflowing creek dozens of black and orange stripped worm arose out of the soil for about an eight or ten foot circle around my friend and me. :lol: :surprised :? :shock:

I am outdoors a lot and have always enjoyed dosing during a snowstorm, but the best was when a friend gave me some mescaline and I went for a walk in a rare electrical snowstorm. Everything was white blowing snow, near whiteout, with these flashes of light that came from everywhere, And the thunder... :shock: Wow

i took lsa when it was raining outside and the rain sounded into patterns adding to the trip, very interesting

My husband and I have had the most wonderful walks together in the rain while tripping on LSD.

Long ago, my husband posted this trip report from an experience decades ago:

A Wild Night on Maui in the 1970's - LSD, LSA, LSH - Welcome to the DMT-Nexus

Hope you like it.

It's actually a common phenomenon, the worms are escaping the waterlogged earth to keep themselves from drowning, it's why you'll see them on sidewalks after heavy rains (they escape the ground to not drown, but then get lost trying to find the dirt again).

My parent's house has a deck which has a roof and screens instead of windows, it's a favorite of mine to sit in there and get really baked to experience the storm as it passes through, sometimes the winds will get so strong that it'll blow the rain/snow through the screens and onto the deck!

Watching the rain/storm on trips is definitely awesome. I've been in my car on acid when it started raining pretty hard, the patterns on my window and the sound of the rain was amazing. I can also say since experiencing that 'expanding of everyday consciousness', I love all kinds of weather

@nectōSchel, I like how you put it
@Pandora, that's got to be up there with the most intense trips I could imagine, awesome!

 

[Mr.Peabody]

It's funny, but it often seems to storm when I trip. I forgot, I'd had the same idea about the storm metaphore for a trip. Often it follows a similar pattern, electricity or energy in the air with a sense of tension in the beginning, giving way to the full on grit of the experience, followed by a calm and fresh feeling in the end. It's so cool to have a storm line up with a trip in the same way.

I thought to ask because the stormy weather here reminded me of some of my stormy trips. It's funny lexiqon, I am the same. I really enjoy all types of weather. It's funny how many people in western Washington bitch about the rain. Why are they here? Go to Arizona or something! I have come to enjoy the rain, though I still don't just hang out in it...at least not all the time.

I had quite an adventure when me and my buddy took some LSD during a tropical storm. We ended up trying to smoke some DMT outside. The best part is when we lost power for 3 hours. I never thought losing power could be so funny.

I've taken mushrooms during a storm, I didn't go outside much but the sound of the rain outside was like a huge growling monster and every time I would look at the door I could see a greenish glow coming through the cracks and I would imagine it shaking about to burst open. I had fun thinking of all sorts of silly scenarios such as there being a mad scientists lab behind the door in which strange experiments were taking place.

I was tripping at my friends house at the time and he was convinced even before we ate the mushrooms, that there was some sort of small creature like a rat or even a raccoon inside of his ventilating system. We could hear the thing scratching on the a piece of cardboard he had shoved into the vent to keep cold air out. Around the peak of our trip we decided we needed to extract the creature from the vent. It was awesome, we had bags and towels and gloves on and he was terrified while I was extremely excited to finally see what the heck this thing was. He unscrewed the grating as we heard the creature scratching all the while and then ripped it off and jumped out of the way....nothing. There was nothing in the vent and no visible sign of any creature or route of escape if there had been one, it was very anticlimactic but sure fun up until then.
