Today I had a large crew of students come to float in my tanks, when I asked the main person in the group how he found us, he told me that his psychology professor told him it was a great way to hallucinate, and it is really fun.
Seriously should this professor really be teaching anyone anything? Dream state yes, theta waves yes, fun, most certainly. But without the use of drugs no hallucination’s in any commercial tank.
I have heard these and many more moronic myths about float tanks, such as…
People freak out (None in the history of commercial floatation tanks)
It’s claustrophobic, and it will make your more claustrophobic (Imposable without proprioception)
You will lose your bowels as soon as you get in the tank (Honey if you have that kind of a problem, we suggest you simply stay home until you get better)
You must use a tampon, or the salt will get inside of you (What are you smoking?)
You will absorb all the sodium, and it’s bad to be in salty water. (There is no sodium in a floatation tank)
Fortunately these ridicules urban myths are said by people who have never floated, and are just tossing out moronic opinions, as they apply butter to a burn. Thankfully my customers are far more evolved then them.
Please feel free to offer more Moronic Urban Myths of Floatation Therapy, as I suppose I should begin to keep a log.

Some do claim they see colours.... spin or tumble through space. Other see bright lights which is sometimes associated with reaching deep levels of meditation, personally I've not see any visions myself, I have however had the strongest feeling that I was standing at the abyss, on the edge on infinity and that was trip on it's own!
Without question, many heavy dreamers experience colors and lucid dreams... just another brilliant benefit of floating. The stories are amazing, and the lack of proprioception can cause tumbling sensations, or other feelings of movement, sometimes also really fun.
But there is a clear difference between mushrooms for breakfast, and a deep theta state.
