    What does it mean if I dream about finding magic mushrooms and eating them and start tripping in my dream? I remember eating a shit load of mushrooms and then I remember being in a forrest at night time and I found a giant fur ball thing and I started petting it and it shapeshifted into a cat and kept shapeshifting, lol.
    Then I woke up and checked my pockets for the magic mushrooms I ate in my dream, then I realized it was just a dream :(
    Like the dream felt so real! I can trip in my dreams without any actual drugs, lol, but it's still better tripping while I'm awake.
    I also had another dream where I took a bunch of acid and started tripping at a park, lol
    Do these dreams have any significance or mean anything?

    There are tons of answers, I know very little about dream interpretation so Im not going to try to interpret your dream for you.

    I believe one hypothesized role for dreams is memory consolidation. So perhaps if you believe that at all its sort of some way to store the experiences into your long term memory. I've dreamed about smoking dmt before I ever did it and my dream experience was absolutely NOTHING like the actual trip, but I guess one could still say I may have been trying to move that experience into long term memory so I could pursue it or something.

    Like many actual psychedelic trips themselves, I find dreams are fairly randomly generated images and scenarios, to me the only meaning they hold is what you yourself attribute meaningful in the dream. There are supposedly many common 'themes' in dreams among people but considering most all of us have a pretty similar brain structure that doesn't surprise me really.

    As much as I enjoy tripping in real life I really don't see a point in it in dreams. I mean dreams are so much more than any trip you could have awake. In dreams, especially lucid ones, you can be the God of your own universe- shaping it to your liking, flying and even causing mass destruction.

    I did have a dream the other night that I was baked. I hadn't smoked in about a month and it blew my mind how real the sensation of being high felt in the dream.

    I had this type of dream exactly! (Even made a thread about it).
    I dreamt I took some magic mushrooms(Although they were truffles, aka philosopher's stones which are legal here) and I started tripping.. Very odd indeed
