Mind getting mixed up on pills

Why, sometimes when taking pills, does the mind get confused?:chin:
For example, last weekend, I'd maybe 1 or 2 pills and I was sitting in a club, and for a few moments, I thought I was at work, and all these things associated with doing a particular task at work came into my head, like I really imagined I was doing the task there and then.
Then I suddenly realised and felt really silly!
It occasionally happens to my friend as well, sometimes he randomly starts talking about work mid-sentence because he actually thinks he's there, but to be honest this is only when he's pretty wasted.
I read alot about biology and psychology, so I feel I should know the answer, but I'm not sure. Sometimes it worries me how much these little pills can confuse the brain!

I remember walking dow the road and askign my mate where somebody else had gone with the wheelbarrow - this was whilst I was a greenkeeper.
I've thought I've seen people pass around a tray of cakes whilst at club once.
And I've been led in bed thinking I'm still somewhere else only to find I'm opn my own when I open my eyes.
Good fun.
It's really freaky when you realise your mind has been playing tricks on you. When I was at school I'd go out at the weekend and sometimes be sitting in a club or in someone's house and be convinced I was at school - would be able to visualise the teacher at the front of the classroom, put my hand up, or lean forward on my "desk" etc. I got a lovely scar on my chin from that last spurt of imagination I've had the work thing, too, in more recent years and also imagined I was on the wards which was very bizarre... and other people have mentioned similar stuff so it seems to be common.
Another weird thing I have noticed recently as well is that after all is done and I go to sleep, I sometimes randomly wake up and lash out, or shout something random... its weird! Anyone else get that?
Has anyone else ever had it where it looks like people are wearing glasses but they are actually not? A couple of times I've been wasted in a club everyone looked like they were wearing glasses, had to really focus to see that they werent there and by that time it must have looked like I was dogging them right up.
All. The. Time.
I used to wake myself up fairly often shouting out a random word or sentence as if I was responding to something someone had just said. The only recurrent phrase was "don't put it there Geoffrey" which I've never really gotten to the bottom of I've done the lashing out thing, too, and sometimes would literally "jump" in my sleep which woke me up with quite a start and anyone else who is unfortunate enough to be in the bed. I definitely noticed I did it more when I'd taken a fair few, though.
I also used to find I'd continue having that kind of weird sleep-talking/starting during the night a couple of nights after having taken anything, though. Bit weird.
Yeah, the glasses thing is funny as well... there must be a reason for it because everyone seems to see it at some point!
When I'm in a right jam I just move my arms and hands about a lot.
I used to just day dream and come out with random shit. Once I started telling my sister to go down the road and don't go on the motorway etc.. she doesn't even drive though!
Also I remember when my sister turned round and said "whos puppy is that?" and we all looked and it was a handbag, hahahahah.
Edit: I have done the work thing as well, when I worked on the phones on the helpdesk, I quite often sat in a silent room with friends and went "companyname Helpdesk, Phil speaking, how can I help?" much to everyones amusement!
yea iu know yourascrote moving ur hands around like a chimpanzeeee
mc cabe came in2 the offy 2nte and he took thus mad yellow speed out in the middle of the shop and told me to sniff it, he was fucueked. give my house a ring around 3 tomorrow.
No, its not normal as far as I know. Its probably because of amphetamine in the pills, or MDA.
As far as the first question goes, this kind of thing is WAY more likely with MDA than MDMA.
It's freaky at first but i'm used to being a bit of a nut-nut now
and i get the shouting/jumping awake thing when im trying to sleep sometimes.. i kept getting it 2 days after taking e's last week.. must have happened about 15 times before i eventually get asleep
and as for the glasses (along with various other trippy shit) ive noticed a few times and im nearly certain it was from MDA
do you think its dangerous that i take them then.. it happens with Pink Kangeroos but never with Smurfs or Smileys. In my mind i feel fine, im gurning a lot but my whole body shakes so much it looks like im having a fit or something.
what is amphetamine and whats the difference between MDA and MDMA, and why does it vary anyway?
thank you in advance if you decide to answer the questions of a very naive girl.
All of this usually happens when i go bed (when im still fucked)
Ill just be sleeping (well not sleeping, but in a very lite sleep) and ive had a strange occurance that i was back in the club, with my work mates (who are also painter and decorators like me).. all with their high-vis yellow jackets on, dancing around in there! spinny shit
Amphetamine is a stimulant. It increases the activity of your central nervous system (CNS) and gives you feelings of alertness, confidence, euphoria and suppresses appetite.
MDMA is a different drug - partly a stimulant but the subjective effects are more relaxing. A feeling of euphoria, acceptance, calm and a closeness to others. Touch feels sensual and music sounds great.
MDA is a related drug, but has more of a heavy, stoned, halluconigenic quality to it. They are both related to amphetamine.
It varies because ecstasy is illegal and there is no quality control.
yeah how random is this i pilled last night and i think its cos i read the posts about seeing glasses on people that day but one boy had like massive harry potter glasses and someone else had john lennon ones it was extraordinary! good night in any case, had some pumas which ive never done before.
I'm not just mullered im bullered! It's mashed, bolloxed and mullered all in one!
Sharkey haha, nutcase!
Lol and of course there's the forgetting what you were saying on pills...so many times have I sat there chatting shit and then stopped mid-sentance, then saying "dude I completely forgot what the fuck I was on about" haha funny times on pills...one morning after doing pills my m8 rang me up and I wasn't even buzzing at this time but I'd done ALOT the night before, and half way through the convo with him I forgot who I was talking to and I was just like "urm I'm sorry but who am I talking to?" lol
