She is pretty terrible at describing whats happening to her.

If you've ever read Flatland: A Romance of Many Dimensions, you'll remember how difficult it was for The Square to describe his experiences to the other two dimensional beings after visiting Spaceland (a three dimensional world). This woman faces a similar challenge, and I think she does remarkably well.

If you haven't read Flatland, I highly recommend you do so. While on acid, of course.

I actually think she's doing a pretty tremendous job. If you've ever taken LSD, and tried to explain what it's like to someone who hasn't, then you know how difficult it is to describe. Even trying to speak coherently when you're tripping balls is pretty challenging.

Whenever I've tripped (over 50 times in the past 8 years, though not for a while as I moved away from that scene) there was a 3-4 hour period where I would just not talk. At all.

Perhaps you're terrible at understanding. I'm not trying to be insulting, I just don't think it's something that can be explained to someone who hasn't tripped.

For what it's worth everything she described made me think "yup, I know exactly what you mean".
