*'''[[Machinescapes]] of an intrinsically sinister and threatening nature''' - This can be described as functionally identical to the experience of [[machinescapes]]. It differs in that its comprising parts often almost exclusively consist of indescribably complex interlocking, ever-shifting biomechanical gore, organs, disembowelments, and body parts.

*'''[[Geometry|Geometry]] of an intrinsically sinister and threatening nature''' - The hallucinatory states listed above are commonly comprised of and embedded within standard hallucinogenic [[geometry]]. This often contains innately readable geometric representations of pure conceptual fear, horror, and suffering which can be felt through all of the senses they are perceived.

*'''Fearing for the fabric of one's sanity''' - This can be described as feelings that one's current perception is so horrific that they will surely be left permanently insane with severe psychological damage. The effect can leave people with an immediate sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a comparatively horrifying reality which cannot be dismissed or escaped from. It is worth noting, however, that although stressful, this effect rarely leaves individuals with lasting psychological problems.

The experience of this component and how it is interpreted by those who undergo it seems to differ wildly between people. While most individuals can find this state to be traumatizing if unprepared, many people find that, although terrifying, it is potentially exhilarating and character building in equal measure. To ensure that one does not find themselves in this state unwittingly, heavy dosages of [[hallucinogens]] should be avoided without practice, and one should always work their way up to the higher levels from low dosages in small increments as they feel comfortable doing so.

While most individuals can find this state to be traumatizing if unprepared, many people find that, although terrifying, it is potentially exhilarating and character building in equal measure. To ensure that one does not find themselves in this state unwittingly, heavy dosages of [[hallucinogens]] should be avoided without prior practice, and a person should always work their way up to the higher levels from lower dosages in small increments as they feel comfortable doing so.


Unspeakable horrors are often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[anxiety]], [[psychosis]] and [[memory suppression]]. They are most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#heavy|heavy]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[psilocybin]], and [[2C-P]]. However, they can also occur under the influence of [[deliriants]] such as [[DPH]], [[datura]], and [[benzydamine]].
