trip out

See wild visions

Trip out means to experience intense hallucinations or altered perceptions, originally from psychedelic drug use: I was tripping out on acid all night.

The meaning has broadened to describe any state of amazement, confusion, or mental overwhelm: That optical illusion really tripped me out.

Someone who is tripped out may be high, dazed, or simply astonished by something unexpected.
