Epona, the horse goddess!

One day, many moons ago, I got up earlier because it was a Saturday and I had to go to the store. The day started off fairly normal but it all changed after I made myself a cup of coffee. When I drank it a strange feeling came over me, I didn't feel like myself. My mother was outside walking the dog and I had to go tell her something.

I had a lot of energy and as I was going down the steps, I realised what it was that made me feel so different. I felt like I had become like a centaur. While, I couldn't actually see my horse limbs, I could "feel" them. My horse body was a gorgeous golden chestnut colour. I pranced down those steps whilst a constant beam of sunshine shined on me. I galloped with great speed to my mom and told her what I needed to tell her. I can't remember exactly how she reacted but she looked at me like I had lost it and kept asking me if I was sure I was okay. I insisted that I was.

By the time I had gotten to the store my "beliefs" had intensified. I came under the impression that I was the mother fucking horse goddess, Epona. I remember trotting around that store with such grace. The light was still shining on my golden chestnut hair and I felt like I was the sexiest being in world and that everyone else was jealous of me...

This feeling slowly started to go away as the day wore on, much to my disappointment. The weird thing is it only happened once. I remember drinking my coffee the next day but the feeling never came back. After all these years, I'm still baffled by what happened. I wasn't on any drugs then and I'm not on any now. I do have a history of hallucinating but something of this magnitude had never occurred before. Is this normal?

      I did… Some of the things that came up were a bit strange. But, thanks anyway.

    If this is serious, and you want to possibly feel this or soomething similar again, I would suggest going without coffee for 7-12 days, and then drinking it again. I, although not nearly quite as much as you, feel pretty strong effects on coffee. But if I drink some the next day, it just isn't the same.

    Your neurotransmitters are probably more sensitive than most others. Seems like you have quite the imagination too. Instead of using this to just "gallop" around, maybe you can output something creative.

      It was serious. I don't particularly want it to happen again. I just can't figure out what made this happened. Was that severing spiked? No matter how much or how little mg of caffeine I consume, I doesn't happen. Then again, I probably don't consume large amounts of caffeine in general. Even with energy drinks, this doesn't happen. I've gone without coffee for very long periods of time and when I do drink a cup, this doesn't happen. I do know that caffeine exceeding past a certain amount can cause hallucinations. However, none of this possible caffeine hallucinations have EVER hit the magnitude of this experience.

      I am very sensitive to things, especially on the account of having MCS. I don't think that I had it at that point, though, but if I did, it could have been because of that.

      I do put a lot of my creative processes to work, in different ways.

        You may have experienced an episode of the rare mental disorder named clinical lycanthropy. And I'm not talking about storybook werewolves. There is a psychological disorder where some people experience their bodies seeming to take the form of an animal because of the brain representing the shape of their body wrong. Sometimes people with this disorder also exhibit behaviors of the animals they believe to become. Horses are one of the known species people with this disorder have claimed to become in the past.
