    I’d probably just go over historical events in depth since then and argue that dreams are typically not this detailed, even if they do feel detailed. Barring that, I’d say that even if this is your hallucination, it’s better to try to act normal and not do anything rude/dangerous in case it isn’t.

    I don’t have any experience with acid trips, but I have a small bit of experience lucid dreaming. Not much. For me the clue was that mirrors don’t work. My dreams are in third person (but so is my imagination). But when I look in a mirror in a dream it’s never shown me my face. It always shows me the back of my head. Imagine you’re standing in front of a screen and have a camera behind you. The camera is streaming to the screen. That’s what mirrors look like in my dream (without the trippy infinite images, it isn’t recursive lol).

      More specifically I’d say is go over events and be consistent in recalling then repeatedly. Dreams at least are too shuffled for that unless you’re like, super lucid, and even then it seems to only maintain for so long.

        Yeah, people always say things like “how can my dreams be so detailed if I only remember the past few minutes” and then when you listen to them it’s never really more than a few minutes of story. Yes, it can be in depth and detailed, but your brain just isn’t recording anything.

    This actually is still a hallucination, but also not. The acid made you realize that there is fundamentally no difference between reality and unreality, and that existence and nonexistence are the same thing. There is no “substance” to the universe, and the acid made you realize this.

    Dude. That table lamp. Something’s fucky about it, don’t you think? I can’t quite put my finger on it.

    Hey it’s me, I’m you from the year 2028. The only way out is to take more lsd but we didn’t realize it soon enough and now global warming (we’re calling it that again) has made the necessary ingredients impossible to source. You have to take a lot more acid right now in order to break out.

    Godspeed traveler.

    You must have better acid than me, it mostly just makes me see patterns and have strange thoughts and definitely doesn’t last 20yr.

    Acid doesn’t take 20 years to metabolize. :)

    https://americanaddictioncenters.org/lsd-abuse/how-long-system-body

    “The half-life of LSD is 3.6 hours, which means it takes about that amount of time for half of the dose to be cleared from the bloodstream.4”

    So, say you took a typical dose of 25μg to 150μg, 3.6 hours later you have 1/2 that… 12.5 to 75. Another 3.6 hours later, 6.25 to 37.5.

    After even just a few days it would essentially be nothing. It’s no longer detectable in hair past 90 days.

        … More like 2.5*10^728 grams. Which would be like taking the number of particles in the (observable*) universe, making a new universe for each one, then taking the number of particles in all those universes and making a universe for each one… 9 levels deep. That many grams.

        (*Every time I say universe I mean observable)

        Edit: Oops, I forgot it’s 20 years, not just one. I think that’s Multiply both the 728 and the 9 by 20.

        Yeah, got better numbers from a better calculator:

        1.8e14665 grams
        That’s 183 levels of universes of universes.

      Never looked into the half life but first time it took like 6-7 hours to see the ceiling swirl nicely. I wouldn’t assume many days lasting though. The wired framed mech I wanted to see out my 3rd story window at like 4am was beat though, especially when I made it walk back and forth.

      But after many times, including after seeing the Teletubbies sun face randomly (actually not even the most awesome hallucination that trip), after 12 hours I was mostly sober.

      Other time I recall was about 10 hours after first dropping went to a rave and got home,I saw some fun colours in the shower water, into infinity between the tiles, then yelled a Madeline cartoon cause they left their luggage 3 scenes before they checked in and had it next to them again…then went to bed and was all tired later cause my sleeping schedule was mixed up.

      I wouldn’t think it last longer than say 12 hours unless other factors are in play.

      Edit forgot to say, most of my acid trips I saw no more than stucco ceiling swirling for a hallucination. So don’t take these experiences as standard…well maybe the watching that Madeline episode that was stupid continuity but expected for a tv show made for kids.
