Melatonin makes me trip balls

[Meeksauce]

I take melatonin to trip as I'm falling asleep more so than just taking it as a sleeping aid. I get very vivid visuals as I'm falling asleep and then my dreams on it are very vivid and trippy. I've done dmt countless times and melatonin is honestly like taking one or two rips of it for me. I remember one dream I had on it, I was being subjected to "higher dimensional torture" where I was descending down a ladder in empty space and on each rung I was like attacked by higher dimensional forces in increasing intensity and inconceivability as I got lower on the ladder. The first time I broke through to infinity was in this dream, I just fell through a hole and went to this enormous empty space. It was comparable to a very high dose psychedelic trip. Maybe it's notable that this was my first time taking melatonin in a while and I had also been on a month long t break from weed (first time to stop smoking in years). Let me know if this happens to anyone else because I'm curious. I also have a crazy high psychedelic tolerance, I took a huge dose of amanita gummies and they didn't do anything to me but meanwhile melatonin makes me trip dick.

Melatonin: the "psychedelic" we didn't know we wanted.

I've tried high dosage melatonin pills and loved the effects during the first few days - a peaceful, natural, progressive deep sleepiness. However, it did seem to build some sort of tolerance with repeated use.

That's probably a contributer to why my dreams are so fucked every night.

That’s cool thanks for sharing.

I have recently been looking into legal substances to try because I live with my parents and they once found my drugs so I’m hesitant to try something illegal again so I’m glad when someone shares something like this.

Sometimes I get astral projection and when I chose to travel down into the ground I can sometimes end up in this vast black space. I don’t consider it infinity though but I don’t really know what it is, I guess it’s my mind imagining an underground world

I often have strange lucid dream or even astral projection who knows if i tend to fall asleep at the end of the night (like 8 am).

I know Joe Dispenza advice to meditate at the middle of the night for "spirituel experiences" because of melatonin concentration.

@SchizophoniaThe term "Wake Back To Bed" (WBTB), a lucid dreaming technique, was coined by Marc VanDeKeere, a lucid dreaming enthusiast. He developed the technique and its associated terminology while running a lucid dreaming blog in the late 1990s. The technique involves waking up during the night, staying awake for a short period, and then returning to sleep to potentially induce lucid dreams.

Thanks, i heard of that once

Yo I feel you—melatonin ain’t no joke. I had a false awakening on it too, thought I woke up, but nah—I was still in the dream, deep. That moment you realize you're dreaming the dream of the dreamer? That’s balls-to-the-wall meta.

I’ve had DMT-tier visuals too, locking into bruhmadya at 2AM, post 6.5hr fire kasina after kriya. That retinal dot? Stargate. Self-lit, pulsing, vast. No chems. Just vow, gaze, and breath. You’re not tripping—you’re calibrating the antenna.

🤣Wake up, hydrate, clear the bladder, then contemplate something erotically charged—not to indulge, but to saturate awareness until thought dissolves and the body stills. That’s the gateway. Wake between 2–6 AM, let the natural hypnagogic tides pull you under.

^Aleister Crowley named it "Erecto-comatose lucidity". Sexual shit always makes it happen. Or, you'll end up in the vibration stage(Robert monroe) and take off. 

We all wake and return to bed every night—he didn’t invent the wheel, he just named it. The magic was always there, hidden in the mundane.

I have revolutionary thoughts on life in a hypnagogic state that I quickly forget

Bro off that Walmart melatonin 😂

no in all seriousness this would happen to me and I stopped taking it. It started to have a “reverse tolerance” effect where each time I took it I would trip harder, so I would cut the amount smaller every night until I was taking the amount of the size of a a couple grains of salt every night 

but it was helpful for realizing the truth of no self because it would put thoughts in my head that weren’t “mine” so it would make it easy to see that there was no thinker of the thoughts

Melatonin is chemically similar to DMT, so not too surprising. But this is unique to your genetics and brain chemistry. Don't expect it to be the same for most humans. You have some unique brain chemistry that makes this possible which most people won't have.

So consider yourself very lucky.

Melatonin does the opposite for me. It keeps me awake.

At what dosages do you notice these effects?

I tried 0,5mg to 2mg to sleep a few times, but I always woke up more tired and with headaches.

[Zen LaCroix]

Melatonin gave me nightmares so I had to stop taking it
