So I recently got into lucid dreaming inspired by a friend of mine, and first off I got to tell you, it's incredible, you should try it if you don't already!! But the weird thing is, so recently I went through a wild breakthrough of both dream recall and dream control. I suddenly am able to remember about 5 dreams a night very vividly and my creativity has been bursting to new extremes. But the weird thing is, this dream world seems to be just as expanding to the mind as a trip, they seem very related. I mean an acid trip to me has always kind of felt like a living dream but there is something about the mode of thought that has been pulling me into some fictional realm, and I fear I am loosing sense of reality. Real life problems don't even affect me, I've looking for a relationship for months now, I have been rejected twice in recent times, but now I don't even seem to care, because I'm so caught up in this realm of creativity. It's as if I can quite literally step into another world and learn from it. But the scary part is its like, who's to say this world is another level of thought? Weird things seem to be the most normal and interesting to me, I'm fascinated by talking animals, and hysterical clowns and jokers roaming freely laughing their heads off, I've seen the weirdest shit, and I feel insane for liking it, and even more insane for wanting more. The dream world has taken me to a further extreme of weirdness than my acid trip, in the sense that I see it every night, but they seem related somehow and I don't know what to do. I realize this is weird as shit, but I'm writing stories, painting, playing music like crazy off of this weird muse high that I've seemed to tap into, and it's thrilling. Has anyone experienced anything at all like this? Cause I'm kind of worried. I still have self control over everything, and I don't talk about all this stuff in a normal conversation, but I got to tell you it takes me to some deep trains of thoughts
Your posts are fucking eager, awesome and well thought out, love 'em. It sounds like you're losing your mind in the best way possible!
See if this book doesn't help explain why dreams and a pure psychedelic experience are so similar. Take the time to read it if you can, it's not all that long. http://www.druglibrary.org/schaffer/lsd/univcont.htm
