walking like a penguin...anyone?

[*oneironaut*]

So I've been wondering if anyone experiences this as well... after hitting the spice and coming off the peak while still tripping, when I get up and walk I lazily waddle like a penguin... I know this sounds stupid, but it is a very distinct walk, nothing like a drunken stooper or anything like that. It's quite controlled and I don't lose balance or anything. I'm sure I could fight it, but I am compelled to walk like that, it just comes naturally... very strange indeed :?

So penguin or not, do you guys find that your walk is altered in a way that is unique to the spice?

-*O*

Every psych makes me walk somewhat differently then what I normally do.

I know people who can tell if someone is tripping, and almost always exactly on what, just by how they are walking. Its interesting.

What's so interesting to me about it is that it "feels" like the thing to do, not so much a symptom of poor coordination. But it's probably both

For me it does not seem like a symptom of poor coordination as well. I can walk very straight lines while tripping, and can even focus on making myself sober, or stop the visuals, for a few minutes to do so and get through a conversation or experience that requires doing so.

Like you said, it just feels right to walk however they make us walk. Part of the experience.

Nope, the closest I have experienced is whilst coming off ketamine, when I can dance like a robotic penguin. *shrug*

After a visit to hyperspace my limbs often feel weightless so I end up walking kind of like oneironaut describes, maybe out of fear of using too much force and having my legs flail around like strings in the wind.

I can almost visualize that scenario... :d

You know what, you nailed it.... weightlessness describes it well. A fluid weightlessness.
