Well I have tried acid too before, but that has been a LONG time ago. I suppose if you had a bad trip on it and it resulted in hospitalization or it triggered panic disorder then the symptoms may be some form of PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder). If the experience was perceived by you to be so traumatic that it had the intensity of experiencing a bad car wreck, a shooting, etc. that could be it. The "dream flashbacks" could be some sort of memories being replayed of the bad experience. The only thing that doesn't seem to fit is the lack of knowledge that the phenomena is related to the "bad trip". I haven't read much on these sorts of things, I guess.
