So last night I got "high" off nothing

Recently I had to do an end of the year project in gym class (health project) about raves and the drugs used at raves, etc. One of the drugs I researched was MDMA, E, or ecstasy. I know the effects during the high and after. Seeing that there are no really bad consequences of using the drug, have been considering doing it myself.

Last night, I fell asleep late (and when you're really tired your dreams tend to be very realistic), then woke up abruptly at about 2am. I was half-awake, still a little bit in my dream (which was about using MDMA and being high off it). It was really strange; for about 5 minutes I thought I had actually taken the drug and was tripping balls, without actually taking anything at all. My senses were hightened extraordinarily (I could hear my dog snoring from all the way down the hall and in the livingroom, through my bedroom door) and felt as though my blankets were the softest things I had ever touched. I was very happy, but scared that my dad would catch me on the "drug" at the same time (while on MDMA users typically experience more than 1 emotion at a time). I was very happy and my vision was accented to the point of feeling like I saw every single small detail of everything.

After that 5 minutes, I quickly sat up straight in my bed and told myself out loud "what the fuck, I didn't do any drugs", then everything went back to normal and I went back to sleep, woke up in the morning feeling normal.
So, I actually convinced myself through a dream that I was high and it lasted for 5 minutes...Weird huh?

 

That's what happens when you stay up all night. Happens to me all the time.

I stayed up all night, went to sleep for an hour. Woke up, felt weird, etc. Didn't stop until after 1st period at school. I couldn't walk well, laughed at stupid things, etc.

 

This happens to me too, I usually forget about it in the morning, but I know it happens. It really is crazy.

Anyone know the medical term?

btw, my symptoms aren't as described though
its usually very frightening, but it is not sleep paralysis (i do get sleep paralysis as well though)

 

What is "MDMA, E, or ecstasy" because i want that to happen to me .. what did you do.

 

Just buy some of the real drug lol, last time I checked enough to get you high for your first time is only like $10.

 

What you were experiencing is dimethyltryptamine, which is the molecule that makes you dream. You probably woke up during REM sleep, which is the time that DMT is secreted into your body by your pineal gland, so you were basically dreaming while you were awake.

 

that's awesome...but i think i'll stick to weed

 

Overtiredness. It causes the brain to act funny, I guess the same way E does.

 

im above the influence....well for now

 

If your talking to me...im only 14...

 

It was one of two things. You had a 'lucid dream' or you were just so tired that you felt high. I know when I stay up for very long periods at a time I will get a high sort of feeling. But the way that you explained it definitely sounds like you had a lucid dream.

 

I think I have the same thing as Blupig, and what I have definitely isn't a case of lucid dreams.

 

I've read about this. The pineal gland is also called your third eye and people who meditate know how to activate it to release DMT. But the effects of DMT are different than that of MDMA (enough DMT will even knock you out).

I wish I could get high from waking up XD

 

dude thats so sick

ya, sometimes i randomly just feel high through out the day though? why is this? Like, i can be sitting in class normal and then all the sudden everything gets all crazy and the room starts tipping to the side and crazy shit for like 3 minutes but then its normal? why is that? anyone know?

 

Ya this usually happens, the longer you stay up the more effect it has on you, also if you just stay up for over two days this thing usually happens without evven having to fall asleep.

 

Lmao getting high of a dream it's going on style now

 

Roflmao wth, Man that's sick

 

ecstasy, or mdma is an actual chemical that is naturally occurring in your brain. this is one of the "feel good chemicals" like dopamine. It is very possible that in your dream, your brain produced ecstasy. Some people can do that with any trigger. Like right before a swim race, I think about a fight (that i was in) or winning first place, that usually triggers adrenaline to pump though my system, making my heart rate spike, and helps me swim faster for longer. But I have heard of people being able to trigger any emotional chemical (that happens naturally) to get a high off of, but it's only about 1/4 of the high you can get with man made chemicals

 

I thought long term use of ecstasy can do lots of damage to your brain. I heard it only kills like 10 people a year, but I don't plan on doing it since I haven't researched it enough and barely know about it.

 

Let me get this straight chronologically:

1) You were doing a report on why X is bad.
2) You wanted to do X(?)
3) You went to sleep
4) Tripped balls

That right?
