PHYCO: "I feel more childlike, more open to experiences of all kinds, more filled with wonder and awe at the nature of things, I get more involved in ordinary tasks, Some of my inner trips, eyes-closed fantasies, have been so vivid and real that even though I know logically they couldn't be real, they feel real; they are as real as ordinary waking life experience, Sounds have visual images or colours associated with them, synchronized with them I can see patterns, form, figures, meaning ful designs in visual material that does not have any particular form when straight, that is just a meaningless series of lines or shapes when I'm straight, if I try to visualize something... I see it in my mind's eye more sharply. . .  When looking at pictures they may acquire an element of visual depth, a third dimensional aspect. Things seen are seen more sharply in that their edges, contours stand out more ' sharply against the background, I can see new colours or more subtle shades of colour . . . There is a sensual quality to vision, as if I were somehow "touching" the objects or people I am looking at . . . things in the periphery of my vision look different when not looking directly at them . . . My visual perception of the space~ around me is changed so that what I'm looking at is very real and clear but everything else I'm not focusing on visually seems further away or otherwise less real or clear... I can hear more subtle changes in sounds, for example, the notes of music are purer and more distinct, the rhythm stands out more, I can understand the words of songs which are not clear when straight,  when listening to stereo music, the spatial separation between the various instruments sounds greater, as if they were physically further apart,  If I try to have an auditory image . . . it is more vivid... With my eyes closed and just listening to sounds, the space around me becomes an auditory space, a space where things are arranged according to their sound characteristics instead of visual, geometrical characteristics, The sound quality of my voice changes, so that I sound different to myself when I talk... My sense of touch is more sensual . . . Touch sensations take on new qualities . . .  Some surfaces feel much smoother, silkier,  Some surfaces feel much rougher, irregular and the roughness or graininess forms interesting patterns,  The temperature of things . . . takes on new qualities,  I can experience vivid tactual imagery . . .  Objects seem heavier, more massive when I lift them..."
