RE: Xenses Theme Park In Mexico Challenges Your Perceptions And Ignites Your Imagination

in #travel7 years ago

Very cool place need to check out - particularly the cave. Curious how similar the experience will be compared to a sensory dep tank.

The Ripley's Believe It or Not Odditorium in Orlando, FL has room with a pool table which is very similar to the town at the end of the heartbeat tunnel. From the perspective of the window looking in, the table looks like it's sloped upward, but it's actually level.

Great piece @luzcypher.

Sort:  

There is a walk in pitch dark at Xenses where you brush by all these textured walls and feel your way through it. Mists of water spray on you and animal sounds howl and chirp in the blackness. I began to hallucinate in color as a passed through it. Strange experience.

@luzcypher when I did my first Deeper Dive (part of that series), I went into a sensory dep tank for the first time in my life and it was life altering.

When I was doing the write-up, I started to research how the physiology of the brain behaves in the sensory deprived state. It turns out researchers have discovered if even one sense is "deprived", then hallucinations can be induced and it can happen in as little as fifteen minutes. Not surprised you were hallucinating in that environment. Makes me want to check it out all that much more.

I did a sensory dep tank before and it's true, you start to hallucinate. I could even hear my heartbeat and blood flowing through my veins. I was a trip.
