Specific hallucinations through suggestion? ...Spiritual connection or coincidences?

  1. Is it common for others to experience a very specific hallucination through another's suggestion while on psychedelics with others?

    Like, experiencing what somebody tells you they're seeing, and automatically you do to?

    examples...

    "Do you see how the tree is growing up all the way into the sky?" and it begins to do exactly that.

    Friend sees a specific shape in the clouds though it's obviously not there, so you automatically see the clouds form what your friend noted seeing and you can reply "I see it too."

    Or... Raja Ram in a Shpongle interview spoke of how him and a friend went to Jazz performance on Peyote, and colorful flowers & music notes were pouring out of the saxophone and filling up the room. Then they both talked with each other about how the room was filling up with the colored flowers.

    When this happens do you believe you are simply hallucinating due to the mind twisting the words and visions into reality, or that there's some sort of spiritual connection where you're both on the same level completely, viewing and experiencing the same thing? Surely no two people could be experiencing something in a synchronized way, as perceptive is so subjective, so I think perhaps it's the fact that the mind will apply these suggestions and project them to your senses.

    I'd love to hear from anybody who feels that there is a true spiritual connection, or somebody who's had some sort of "hint" that you are experiencing the same exact same thing.

    Has anybody been experiencing something while on psychedelics and had the friend note something about a hallucination you were already having? Or perhaps you were already caught up in talking about what you were experiencing together, and your friend would note a detail about what you were experiencing that was something very specific you hadn't vocalized yet. (ie... You're silently watching an inanimate object change in a certain way, and after that your friend notes how it's done just that?) If that happens it could of course be coincidence or the result of some sort of external stimulus from your surroundings that subconsciously causes the exact same hallucination, but if it happens often to anybody I feel like that may suggest some sort of deep mental connection.

    I'm really high, so I can't be completely sure that this is a sensible post (the whole idea). Just something I couldn't get out of my mind.

    Let's say that when hallucinating anything is possible. That is, you could experience anything your mind can conjure up.

    Leading up to this trip, you've done this and that. You know that and this. You're here not there.

    The person you're tripping with has done this and that. They know that and this. They are also there not here.

    13.7 billion years. Gazillions of planets. Another gazillion places to be on this planet. A gazillion things to do. You and your fellow tripper are at the same place, doing the same thing, looking for the same experience... you are 99.999% the same...

    Why would you not "hallucinate" the same thing? :)
