psychedelic

A more formal term originally used to describe something that seems inspired by a mind-altering drug, or the effects of the drug itself. Drugs classified as "psychedelic" include marijuana and LSD.

More commonly now, since the age of psychedelia ended in the early-70s, the term is used solely to describe things that seem inspired by or seem to replicate the experience of mind-altering drugs. The term is most often applied to art that utilizes bright colours and bizarre patterns or music that uses strange, non-standard timing signatures, keys, chords, and the like. The term is somewhat synonymous with trippy.

Dude, I was tripping balls last night and it was so psychedelic!

Some of Pink Floyd's music sound really psychedelic.

Most of Andy Warhol's art is really psychedelic.

psyche

originaly the greek goddess of the soul, which the word psychology is derived from.

he myths of the Greek goddess Psyche exemplify a woman's search for authentic personal growth, a reminder that the integration of our experiences, however sad or frightening they may be, matures and transforms us, like the symbol of the butterfly emerging into the light from its dark cocoon.

Psyclone

A barrage of mind fuckery

Person A: I had the longest conversation with my (significant other). Apparently, I'm always wrong even though I'm right half the time. I've done nothing but "fuck up" and attempt to purposely sabotage our relationship and I actually apologized for being myself. Then I somehow agreed to try harder on being more of the better person he/she wants me to be. I'm not quite sure what just happened...?

Person B: (In pity) You just got Psycloned.

Psychedelic Daydream

When you are having a psychedelic experience, relaxed, and you start daydreaming. Except that, instead of a normal, passive daydream, you actually slip into the reality you imagine, sometimes quickly and without notice, believing in what you imagine to be physically interactable. It's like a typical dream, except everything feels very fresh and vivid, and you're typically lucid enough to get out of it in a flash if you need to. Returning from a psychedelic daydream will leave you mystified and refreshed. All it takes is relaxation and the psychedelic will guide you into your imagination. Many psychedelic users are not aware of how easy this is because they are typically submerged in physical activity, whether by themselves or with others, not allowing their brainwaves to slow enough until they crash (fall asleep).

I had a Psychedelic Daydream yesterday. It was incredible, I really thought I was back on the beach!
