Introduction
The following is a detailed report on the intense hallucinatory experience encountered during an Ayahuasca trip, written by the participant, Gregasaurus. This report chronicles the vivid and surreal visions that took place during the experience, touching upon visual, auditory, and emotional aspects of the hallucinations. The journey through these hallucinations is layered with interactions with the personifications of Ayahuasca, exploring profound and strange environments, and encountering deeply symbolic figures.
First Hallucination: The Personification of Ayahuasca
The trip began with the appearance of "fibres of light" that seemed to overlay everything in the surroundings. This visual cue indicated the onset of the hallucinatory state. To get comfortable, the participant laid down and covered their eyes with a jumper. Almost immediately, the first hallucination materialized.
In this vision, Ayahuasca took the form of a large, 3D cylinder, made entirely of shifting visuals. It was an abstract shape, with several protruding arm-like extensions randomly placed. The participant, attempting to engage in sexual intercourse with the personification of Ayahuasca, was met with resistance. Realizing that it was not a productive direction, the participant refrained from pursuing the interaction further, choosing instead to enjoy the experience without forcing it.
Second Hallucination: The Male Ayahuasca
The second hallucination emerged after a brief moment of reorienting. When the participant opened their eyes, they found themselves gazing into a dirty, messy living room. It was a setting completely foreign to them, yet strangely familiar in the hallucinatory world. Within this environment, they saw a humanoid figure—overweight, wearing a baseball cap, and an ill-fitting t-shirt—sitting in an armchair, watching TV. This humanoid was another personification of Ayahuasca, but in a male form.
The entire scene appeared in various shades of blue, with even Ayahuasca himself appearing in this blue hue. The participant, upon realizing the gender of this version of Ayahuasca, humorously thought, "So you’re a dude! Sorry about earlier, I always thought of you as a sexy female temptress." Ayahuasca seemed nonchalant about the mix-up. This entity revealed himself to be a teenager, with a love for marijuana, and, in the trip’s narrative, he took the participant by the hand.
The two of them then flew together in the sky, Superman-style, soaring above a house perched on a massive, smooth cliff. Below the house was an abyss that appeared to stretch endlessly. The entity, as Ayahuasca, explained that they enjoyed staring into the abyss while tripping, as it revealed stunning and surreal visuals.
Third Hallucination: The Floating Castle and the Abyss
After the stoner Ayahuasca hallucination faded, the participant went upstairs, where they encountered their friend Josikins. Josikins tested a strobe light on the participant, and for a brief moment, they saw "geometric, wire-y visuals" before the effect faded and the strobe light returned to its usual form. The two friends then retreated to the bathroom, which was completely dark, and continued to chat.
A few seconds passed in total darkness, and during this period, the participant started to hear music—specifically, a melody reminiscent of the first 45 seconds of No Quarter by Led Zeppelin. This auditory hallucination was followed by the feeling of being lifted out of their body, an experience that closely resembled a DMT trip. This particular hallucination was more vivid and tangible than anything previously encountered during the experience.
The participant found themselves in the sky, amidst clouds, leaping fantastically high and far distances, using rogue clouds as stepping stones. In the distance, an enormous castle made of crystal appeared. This structure refracted and deflected light like a prism, casting a flowing rainbow over its surface. The scene was described as stunningly beautiful. The participant attempted to jump over more clouds to reach the castle but missed one and began to fall.
As they fell through the clouds, the participant extended a hand toward the castle, which seemed impossibly far away. Around them, they saw dozens of other hands stretching out in the same desperate bid to reach the distant fortress. Eventually, the participant was submerged beneath the clouds, only to snap back to the bathroom, smiling in awe at the experience. The participant sensed that this marked the final hallucination of the evening, as the eerie sound of groaning pipes signaled the trip’s conclusion.
The Effects of the Ayahuasca Trip
Geometry and Visual Distortions
From the onset, the trip was marked by geometric visuals. The participant first noticed "fibres of light" appearing on everything in the environment. The experience evolved into flashes of geometric patterns, further intensifying with the strobe light effects. These abstract, wire-like visuals were fleeting but added to the surreal atmosphere of the trip.
Autonomous Entities and Internal Hallucinations
A defining feature of this experience was the recurring appearance of personified versions of Ayahuasca. The participant first encountered Ayahuasca as a visual 3D cylinder with arm-like protrusions, followed by the humanoid male version who interacted with them as if they were a close companion. These autonomous entities played significant roles in guiding the participant through the trip, offering surreal adventures and insights.
Auditory Hallucinations
The auditory aspect of the experience was marked by the sudden emergence of music, specifically a sound similar to No Quarter by Led Zeppelin. This auditory trigger was so real and profound that it intensified the visual hallucinations and transported the participant into another dimension of the experience.
Internal Hallucinations: Solid Realism
Perhaps the most intense hallucination came when the participant found themselves in a world that appeared entirely real. Floating in the sky, they leaped over clouds and aimed for the crystalline castle. This environment was tangible, not constructed from distorted visuals, making it feel like a fully immersive reality. This solid realism contrasted with the more abstract or distorted aspects of the trip.
Conclusion
The Ayahuasca trip experienced by Gregasaurus was marked by a series of vivid, layered hallucinations, each unique in its expression of the Ayahuasca spirit. The participant encountered both abstract and realistic elements, interacting with personified versions of Ayahuasca and experiencing surreal environments. From geometric distortions and auditory hallucinations to profoundly real internal experiences, the trip was a journey through complex psychological and sensory landscapes. Ultimately, the experience left the participant with a deeper understanding of the psychedelic state, its visual intensity, and the power of immersive hallucinations.
