First of all. Awsome experience! Thanks for sharing. Do u have any idea how to interpret this all"? |

Ganzfeld Effect (2nd Attempt): Ok, so I finally had some spare time (although short it may be, 30 minutes had to cut it) to have a second go at doing the Ganzfeld effect. It started off very similar to to the first time I did it, but this time I had a lot more visual hallucinations, mainly of clowns.. The hallucinations that I had from this particular night were mainly frightening, and I actually had to assert myself that they were in fact hallucinations on two occasions, the sounds I were hearing were bagpipes and trains moving. But the hallucinations varied between clown faces and beastly looking dogs as well as bright flashes of white light. Eventually I had enough and removed the goggles and took off my headphones. |

reminds me of an IDoser I've listened to, which was said to feel like weed... but it didn't.. only had hallucinations about carnival music and trolls |

I tried doing this today and the effects were very mild. It was as if I were experiencing Hypnogogic Hallucitations that were very abstract and ended up fading away into a dark redish color. Thats very typical for me to see very abstract shapes while wild meditating and in my many attempts I couldnt get them to form a dreamscape. Some people said they experienced zoning out completely and having effects similar or exactly like lucid dreams and could be a WILD induction technique or a variation of it. |

Maybe you need more Melatonin? I think these dark reds colours have something to do with our day-night cycle. I get the same kinds of things. I would opt for Natural Melatonin, btw. Not sure where i'm going with this. |

Why brown/pink noise? |

Please click on the links below, more techniques under investigation to come soon...
Well white noise is basically an algorithmic or random generation of all sound frequencies that the human ear can hear. So 20Hz to about 20kHz. White noise can be a bit harsh to listen to though, because all of the frequencies are playing at the same volume. It's mostly the higher frequencies that sound harsh on the ears. Brown noise, named after a botanist named Robert Brown, goes by a formula that basically has lower frequency waves at a higher volume while the higher frequencies are at a low volume. The same goes for pink noise but pink noise gives off more high frequencies than Brown Noise, but still carries the same formula. Low frequency = High Volume and High frequency = Low Volume. Hope that helps! |

I've tried experimenting with ganzfeld in the past and I found it boring and unrewarding and a waste of time. I'm not suggesting that it IS a waste or anything, and I'm sure it has its uses, but as someone who has been down the rabbit hole many times and seen some crazy shit...ganz just didn't do anything for me. I'd do it for a good 45 min and all I ever saw was flashy lights. |

I've tried Ganzfeld Sessions for several times. I think your main hallucinations will be of that kind your most dominant sense is. If you are a visual type, you will get more visual hallucinations and so on. |

I would not be surprised if the binaural beats did alter the effects in some way or another, from what I've gathered I doubt it would potentiate the effects rather differ them. The original experiment used pink noise for whatever reason, I personally used brown noise for the times I did it so my experience with other sound deprivation is non existent - but that's what I am getting at, the aim of the experiment (at least as far as I can tell) is to deprive the brain of access to senses so that it attempts to fill in what it is not receiving, so, if binaural beats were to be used in the place of noise the effects mightn't be what one would expect as most binaural beats differ their pitch and volume a lot. |

I have had a similiar effect. Boring colours. White, grey, black, orange, purple, blue. All of them blooming. Sometimes fastly sometimes slowly. I woke up after 30 minutes and I have felt my left hand was numb. I also saw little black tiny claws trying to get me from the edge. I have very weak vision though. I used white noise with noise cancelling headphones and I used a white, home-made sleeping mask with rubber bands. |
