Freak out, acting crazy or funny. Urban Dictionary

A state of mind brought on by experiencing a different state of consciousness- mostly through vast changes in perception, senses and thought patterns. Tripping is usually experienced through the use of psychedelic drugs such as LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin- but can also be experienced naturally as well. This is because psychedelic drugs are supposed to break down the filters of the mind i.e 'thought at large' which are believed to eliminate unnecessary thought patterns. Because the mind (including the alleged filters) were not fully developed in youth, tripping could sometimes happen naturally as a result. And if you don't believe me or think it's impossible, then read the example... you'll know what I'm talking about :) Urban Dictionary

Experiencing the effects of a psychedelic substance, or effects reminiscent of the psychedelic experience. Urban Dictionary

A psychological phenomenon in which a person can feel an even higher-than-normal state of emotion due to some repeated external stimulus. The physical traits of a person who is currently in this state is someone who has become neurotic and is reacting emotionally over a seemingly small and irrelevant detail in reality, movie, song or a book. All people "trip out" naturally during their youth and sub-consciously develop psychological blocks to prevent themselves from tripping out. People destroy these sub-conscious blocks and/or blocking ability by using legal and/or illegal drugs. It has not been established which drugs in particular create this psychological state but it is suspect all drugs will do this if enough of the particular substance has been taken by the particular person. It also depends on the particular person who uses the drugs as the effects of illegal drugs differ from person to person as no two people's bodily chemistrys are the same. Urban Dictionary

When one is in a serious state of disarray, as when under the effects of drugs; but sometimes drug-free situations can induce tripping also Urban Dictionary

u [gotta] [stop] tripping! ❋ Azn Baller (2003)

When I was younger, the world seemed a more vibrant place. It was much easier to daydream or lose myself [in my thoughts], or imagine things as though they were real.
