I’ve seen this one in dreams, also saw it once while I was awake. I did an experiment where i grated three whole nuts of nutmeg and ate it all. The high was middling and not worth the side effects, not something I care to repeat, but at one point I closed my eyes and saw yellow pink in all its glory. That was nice.
