i actually had the best mirror-doppelganger moments when i was completely far gone on lots and lots of cocaine. real hollywood movie moment. the whole total dissociation and ego detachment. talking to myself and laughing. exactly like something from a dumb movie. i never had that level of far-out feeling on acid.
william s. burroughs said that it's impossible to see your hands when you're dreaming (opiate dreaming, in his case).
yeah, where it's almost a series of still shots put together like a flip book, only at 8 frames per second. It's like time is going a mile a minute but you can only process 8 frames per second...snapshots in time while everything else goes by really fast.
I've had experiences like that. On other drugs, not hallucinogens. I distinctly remember looking at myself in the mirror on mushrooms and being absolutely disgusted. i looked pale, disheveled...like the life was sucked out of me. I could have been far into the experience, can't really remember. I just remember thinking I looked fucking disgusting when I looked at myself.
