Tripping themes

Still trying to work off the fuzz from last nights trip but...
For the last half (after I turned off fantasia cause it started getting weird lol) I felt as if I was drifting on the ocean. I kept getting the feeling that I was a soldier or something along that lines, and my dog was a big (2x as big at least) dog that was going into battle with me. I kept getting the feeling that he was the last of his kind and didn't want to go into whatever battle with me, and I was stuck on a raft (really felt the floor swaying) with him and I just felt like I had to preserve the peace of his nature and mine, and that we had survived. There is more but sombra is wanting to play! But my main point is that every single trip I have had in the last few years (with maybe 1-5 exceptions) have been water related. Either I'm an observer in an underwater world, I am an aquatic creature, experiencing life, I am a flying creature that lives by the ocean and feeds on sea life, and observes sea life. Very rarely I am myself, being involved with a water related scene (such as what happened last night)
I am wondering if anyone else has experienced a common theme to tripping? The few times that haven't been water related was with something other than LSD or shrooms, or DMT. On 4aco DMT the water related scenery and images were even more (fish bursting from my eyes, air bubbles and sea plants coming out of the floor)
So, anyone else?

Yeah. Except well... I felt a good come up on the allylescaline, then after I dropped the LSD, the allylescaline basically stopped feeling effective.
You know when you take shrooms and LSD, you feel both. I felt the Al, then about 20 minutes after I dropped the LSD I only felt the LSD.
But my main point is that it (the water/ocean theme) happens 99% of the time no matter what I trip on.
Wondering if anyone else has experienced a theme to tripping, or a trip that picked up where the last one ended
Water and ocean scenes and fish are a major major part of any trip I have had

Its weird its like this water tripping world wants me to do something in it. I wonder if the images have certain meanings? It wouldn't bother me as much. But... Years of tripping and the same general trip??? Am I missing some divine connection?
Its like this I guess.
I eat the psychedelic, and then, bear with me here...
I "pick up a book" select a chapter at random and read it (the trip) and then next week (new trip) I pick up the same book, and either read the next consecutive chapter (the trip continues from where the last one left off)
OR
I pick up the book and read another chapter at random (same book so same general theme)

Obviously there is no book physically that I'm reading, its just the closest thing I can think of to make sense of it. I think if I don't get answers it might drive me nuts lol, but seriously, its like all of my trips are based in the same thing and I'm kinda weirded out about it

Huh. I find my trips tend to be very different every time. Then again, I bounce around substance-wise. My acid trips are generally pretty dissimilar though. Also, lucky me, visuals don't show up until 2 tabs.... then they get crazy at 400 ish.

I do experiment with numerous different substances, these visuals go clear across the board, the only ones that haven't so far is allylescaline, but I need to take a larger dose. And 2ce and 2ci, but I need to take a bigger dose still

You lucky motherfucker.... Hehe. You have some neat stuff, and hell, you get to do things no one else knows about; the adventure must be fabulous.

I do have a similar experience. I call it my trip journal. It's been like a story building on a thought from this last year of psychedelics. That has been built upon previous years. I don't want to be cheesy about it. But its like an inner me, or soul thought. Alot of the things I trip about aren't remembered until I trip again. I fully remember my previous trips. And then build upon those prior thoughts. The story continues.

Yeah I totally get that, I felt a lot better after the LSD than I did on some of the rc. I'm about a quarter through it, then when I'm done I'm done
I just found out Carl Jung says that water is a symbol of unconscious

Water is powerful, it conducts electricity like a mofo and all life needs it and forms around it.

I tripped on July 4 last year and as a friend and I were walking down a river, I had this vision of myself there hundreds of years ago as a native or something, and then of myself as this geometric being made up of triangles and heard some voice in a different language. So anyways I moved across the country to that river.

My dog has been having some problems with his knee, so during the time of this trip, I was sleeping with him on his little dog bed and a pile of blankets (best place to trip lol) because I'm in the process of moving cross country so have most ofy larger furniture in storage.

9:10 while watching Bill O'Reilly (talk show guy not the shroomery guy!!) I dropped 15 mg allylescaline. In hindsight, I am not sure I would want to take the extra 5-10 mg that I'm used to. In thinking of my trips, I usually take about 15-20 mg Al, then drop 10-15 mg more during my peak. I was probably thinking along those lines but you will see why I did not redose the Al.
I have found that it takes about 2 hours to peak on the Al, and that it has very colorful visuals, I wanted to peak both at the same time which is why I followed this dosing schedule.
At 10:10 I made the bed up for my dog and I packed a bowl of headband (very resinous sativa, great for tripping!) and took 300 mics of LSD. Approx. 30 minutes later (peak of both substances about half an hour away, just starting to feel something), my parents went to bed and I was free to go outside and smoke and prepare for the trip.

For some reason, I felt that I really wanted to watch the movie "Fantasia" so I went and got the movie and popped it in. While waiting for it to start I went and smoked a quick bowl.
When I got back inside, the movie was just starting, I managed to watch the first couple segments before going back outside to smoke more.
During this first hour or so, I was not seeing the heavy colorful visuals I was wanting, but the movie was looking pretty decent, and not making sense. Two scenes stuck out for me, the evolution sequence (fishes slowly turning into dinosaurs) and the Bacchus festival (centaurs, nymphs, cupids running amok) I quickly realized that I was in for something a bit deeper than what I had been expecting, but it felt soft and gentle? Like I was going in, and was just knowing I'd take something out, regardless of if I would understand it.
I turned off the movie right as the sequence with the centaurs finished, went and smoked my last bowl, and laid down. My headspace was phenomenal, I felt as though every idea that came into my head was crystal clear (although it was not making much sense, I guess like if you have an idea and have to represent it with pictures, in my head not visuals ones!)
So... Here is my experience about half an hour after my LSD and Al peaked. A quick note: this experience it seemed happened inside my head. I am fully aware that my room is there, I'm inside my house and there is snow outside. I close my eyes and I'm in the middle of the ocean and stuff is happening, which I'm about to explain.

I lay down on the floor and let my dog curl up next to me. As soon as he did, he fell asleep snoring really loudly. Suddenly we were both on a wooden raft, floating gently in a crystal clear ocean. The sky was bright no clouds, the sun was out... But I could hear loud sounds in the sky (my ceiling) I open my eyes and I just notice thick swirlings and very free flowing patterns on everything. I close my eyes and I'm back on the raft. My dog, who normally weighs about 75 pounds, was suddenly at least 200+ pounds, and dressed in shiny silver battle armor. I never once notice my body in this "mindscape" although I'm aware that my dog was not alone on the raft. I got the sense that he was there, not on his own free will, but because I was there (kind of like you go I will follow, anywhere). His snoring made me think for some reason (in this mindscape) that he was shivering. I decided that whatever island we were gently floating towards, was not a place he wanted to go, but he was there for me. I noticed in the sky a bunch of winged horses dive bombing the island and flying around. As soon as I saw that, I thought
Oh god... Fantasia was a bad choice, I mentally willed the horses to turn into something that would make sense. They defied me and turned into flying cars, and other things that really can't fly. We were slowly getting closer.
We got close enough I could see that aside from the flying things, there were a bunch of little things swarming all over this island. It looked as if the things on the land were trying to fend off the things in the sky. We were getting closer still.
Finally we were in a small lagoon by the island, the shape gently curving around us. I noticed that I didn't notice anything in the sly anymore, and I did not notice anything on the land either. We were close but not close enough to get off the raft and go to dry land.
Suddenly I noticed we were standing on the island. My dog was looking at me, happily, no longer afraid of anything on this island.
The island looked deserted, a big golden sandy beach, green nondescript foliage too far away to tell what it was.
We sat down, basking in the sun and watching the sun glittering on the ocean.
After about 15-20 minutes (mindscape time) I noticed a bunch of small creatures. They all knew me but I did not know them. It seemed as if I did know them at some point. They were all very happy for me, confused by the sight of my dog, and I felt they loved both of us unconditionally. I asked them where we were, but they only smiled and said you know exactly where you are. You are here all the time, you are free to come and go as you please, you help create this beautiful place with your love.
I asked why I felt like I was going into war, why I saw a battle going on.
They told me to open my eyes and look. I looked off into the distance and I saw again small creatures on the beach and flying things, but up close they were simply exchanging information (that's what I feel was supposed to be inferred, and what the things I was talking to said) the creatures on the beach (my dimension) giving information to creatures on a higher level, and I noticed that the flying things were flying higher and seemed to do the same with something up in the sky too far to see.
I was amazed at the headspace I had to remember all of this, but right as this part happened, I felt a very distinguishing feeling that this wasn't the first time I had been to this particular place.

After checking online resources and talking to several people, I feel that the ocean was a metaphor for the unconscious, the unknown. The beach was me, exchanging information and experience with neighboring islands which I couldn't see at this time, but also giving information of my human experience to something I couldn't see.
All in all I felt absolutely drained after this, but so warm and good. I felt loved, and I couldn't help but tell my dog that he was special and that I loved him. The whole sequence of beings coming up to me or exchanging information (speaking with or otherwise interacting) with other beings made me think of the interactions we have in our daily lives. I was in a very good mindset so everything was positive and full of love. All in all it was a super powerful positive message. Thanks for reading!

This to the best of my terrible writing ability is what I experienced. I hope its legible
