Recommend me books which feature psychedelic experiences, especially if not triggered by drugs but spontaneous.

Huxley's Doors of Perception, and Jung's Red and Black books my man

Apart from the Doors of Perception or Baudelaire's Artificial Paradises, I don't see how a psychedelic experience could be transcribed well enough to not be boring on paper. The ending of Steppenwolf (Hesse) is pretty schizophrenic, Cortazar wrote some "surrealistic" short stories, and Camus's The Fall has some first-person realizations about "how the self works in relation to the world" which, I guess, are sometimes part of psychedelic experiences. I don't know senpai, drugs are boring in literature, only the thought processes are interesting.

Thanks my man. Should I read some Jung before starting the Red or Black books? I started his Archetypes but never finished it.

It's not about the experience itself, but more about how it influences the character's worldview and behaviour afterwards. IMO.

Also Valis by PKD

epileptic writers (dosto, blake) and mystics are good for this

Spontaneous:
César Airas books are often quite psychedelic experiences by themselves -- i.e. the psychedelic experience is not marked as such inside the story, but *is* more or less the whole story. If that's fine with you, try "The Little Buddhist Monk".

Peter Handke's "The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick" describes a very -- at least -- schizophrenic experience. It does not have any "psychedelic visuals". Rather, it's about the protagonist's mental relation to objects and how he interprets reality. Just read the first pages on amazon to see what I mean. It's a really good book.
(Handke also did this in poetry, e.g. in "Die Innenwelt der Außenwelt der Innenwelt")

With drugs:
Blue Lines on Transparent Skin (only one chapter, but I thought it was really good)
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test

That is a really nice picture
