    I’d probably just go over historical events in depth since then and argue that dreams are typically not this detailed, even if they do feel detailed. Barring that, I’d say that even if this is your hallucination, it’s better to try to act normal and not do anything rude/dangerous in case it isn’t.

    I don’t have any experience with acid trips, but I have a small bit of experience lucid dreaming. Not much. For me the clue was that mirrors don’t work. My dreams are in third person (but so is my imagination). But when I look in a mirror in a dream it’s never shown me my face. It always shows me the back of my head. Imagine you’re standing in front of a screen and have a camera behind you. The camera is streaming to the screen. That’s what mirrors look like in my dream (without the trippy infinite images, it isn’t recursive lol).

      More specifically I’d say is go over events and be consistent in recalling then repeatedly. Dreams at least are too shuffled for that unless you’re like, super lucid, and even then it seems to only maintain for so long.

        Yeah, people always say things like “how can my dreams be so detailed if I only remember the past few minutes” and then when you listen to them it’s never really more than a few minutes of story. Yes, it can be in depth and detailed, but your brain just isn’t recording anything.

    This actually is still a hallucination, but also not. The acid made you realize that there is fundamentally no difference between reality and unreality, and that existence and nonexistence are the same thing. There is no “substance” to the universe, and the acid made you realize this.

    Dude. That table lamp. Something’s fucky about it, don’t you think? I can’t quite put my finger on it.

    You must have better acid than me, it mostly just makes me see patterns and have strange thoughts and definitely doesn’t last 20yr.

    Hey it’s me, I’m you from the year 2028. The only way out is to take more lsd but we didn’t realize it soon enough and now global warming (we’re calling it that again) has made the necessary ingredients impossible to source. You have to take a lot more acid right now in order to break out.

    Godspeed traveler.

    I probably wouldn’t try to convince you that it’s not a hallucination, but rather ask “so what if it is?”.

    For example, I’m fairly sure that I’m not currently tripping, but I am also certain that my brain is the ultimate unreliable narrator. How do I know if any of this is real, or ever has been real? What does “real” even mean? Honestly, I don’t know, but ultimately it doesn’t change anything about how I choose to act in life
