The Come Up


Initial Sensations


At around 1 pm, I swallowed a capsule containing a powder mix of 45 mg 2C-C and 40 mg 4-AcO-DMT. I got into bed and decided to watch a few YouTube videos to pass the time as I anticipated the come-up. Within 30 minutes, I began feeling the first signs of stimulation. My body felt more alert, and there was a noticeable shift in my mental state. As the effects grew stronger, I stopped watching the videos and chose to lay down in the dark, intending to focus fully on the trip.


First Visuals


When I closed my eyes and concentrated, I was greeted by highly detailed visuals. I saw an image that resembled a sweet shop, with vivid, bright colors and snowflake-like fractals overlaying the scene. Along with the visuals, I could hear circus music playing in the background and the sound of children laughing. This marked the beginning of the first shift in my ego, where I felt detached from my normal sense of self. The childlike atmosphere of the scene contributed to a feeling of innocence and playfulness, despite still being aware of my identity.


Ego Shift


As the visuals intensified, I felt a profound shift in my ego. The vibrant, dreamlike quality of the visuals, combined with the circus-like sounds, made me feel as though I was no longer the same person, yet I still maintained a sense of awareness. This was a powerful experience, where the boundaries of my identity began to blur, and I felt transported into a different version of myself.



Exploring the Room


Room Visuals


After experiencing these intense visuals with my eyes closed, I decided to open my eyes and take in my immediate surroundings. I turned on the light, and noticed that the room around me was breathing—expanding and contracting, as if the walls were alive. The visuals were subtle but unsettling, and they contributed to an overall sense of fluidity and change in the environment.


Minor Control Over Trip


With the room’s strange movement continuing, I decided to lie back down in bed. Once again, I closed my eyes, but this time the visuals changed. Instead of seeing abstract patterns, I was transported to what seemed like a furniture store, though it appeared sparse and empty. The entire environment was muted in color, almost neutral, and there was a sense of stillness to it. This room felt more grounded and less playful than the previous one.


At this point, I experimented with controlling the visuals. I noticed that by moving my head in the real world, I could subtly influence the direction of the visuals in the trip. I managed to look down and saw my feet in the scene. When I tried to move them, nothing happened at first, but after concentrating intensely and willing my legs to move, I was able to make them walk. This felt like a major accomplishment—like I had never walked before. Taking that first step felt surprisingly significant.



Visual Control


Trying to Control the Experience


At this point, I became curious about how much control I could exert over the visuals. I wanted to see how far I could push my ability to influence the experience. I managed to make my vision go completely black and then focused on visualizing a door. However, when the door was supposed to appear, something entirely different materialized.


Visualizing a Door


Instead of a door, I found myself in a room with a strong Asian aesthetic. The walls were painted in rich red tones, and the room contained vats of unknown liquid and a few bags adorned with mysterious symbols. This strange, foreign setting filled me with awe. Looking down, I noticed that my body was dressed in a robe, which led me to feel like some sort of emperor. The scene began to shift slowly, morphing into what appeared to be a throne room, amplifying the royal and majestic feeling of the moment.



The Peak


Visuals During the Peak


The peak of the experience is somewhat difficult to recall in full, as my memories from this point onward are fragmented. However, I distinctly remember the visuals becoming much more intense and detailed. It felt like I was in a very vivid and detailed lucid dream where I had no control over the narrative unfolding before me.


In these peak moments, I could look around in all directions, and every detail of my surroundings was filled with intricate, lifelike visuals. The scenes felt complete and all-encompassing, and I had the impression that no matter where I looked, there would be something new to see. However, I was not in control of the situation, and the visuals played out as though I were a passive observer rather than an active participant.


Fragmented Memories of the Peak


My memory of the peak is broken up, and I can only recall specific moments that stood out to me. These moments felt intense and profound, but they do not follow a clear narrative. The experience of being immersed in such rich, detailed environments left a deep impression, though many parts of it are now hazy.



Conclusion


This trip, induced by 45 mg of 2C-C and 40 mg of 4-AcO-DMT, was a deeply transformative and surreal experience. While many of the memories are lost, the visuals and sensations that I experienced—particularly during the come-up and the peak—remain vivid in my mind. The ability to alter the visuals and experience new environments, like the sweet shop and the throne room, provided me with a powerful sense of escapism. The trip was characterized by an overwhelming sense of fluidity, detachment from the self, and immersion in intricate, dreamlike visuals. While the details are fragmented, the emotional resonance of the experience lingers.
