This is a common, yet intriguing, feeling.

Thanks for reporting. When you smoke extracts, this can be much more
intense, but much harder to dissect after the experience.

Ah! I recognize her. She has quite a mood. You are lucky she was only
impatient :)

This happens, especially when you don't use to intense stuff. You are
in two places at once, capable of living two experience simultaneously.
It is useful to note the experience in a diary, which i suggest to do.
With Salvia the experienes evolve.

Thanks for trying.

I am happy you appreciate. Well, I guess it is an easier road than
learning mathematical logic. The advantage of logic is that you can
share 99% of the experience with ... those patient enough to learn the
technics, and to listen to the argument. The advantage of Salvia is
that you live, somehow, the thought experiences. No need to "imagine"
the situation and to deuce proposition... But some afterthought are
needed in all case, of course, Take it easy, you are in good hands :)
Best,
