KingCheez Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Wow, cool, I always wanted to be a hippie. I've always been interested in the paranormal: remote viewing, telekinesis, reading minds, astral projection, lucid dreaming, out of body experiences, and all of that. Psychonauts sold me because it rekindled my interest in those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthAve Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Well luckily I like both the Misfits and The Grateful Dead, although unsuprisingly The Dead figure a lot higher on my Last.fm profile. The Airplane are way up there too. And The Doors ; "We're not so different, you and I."-Dr Evil He was right. Also, I had a dream where I was in a talent show, and I sang Purple Haze and everyone was all WTF and pelted me with eggs, and the ghost of Jimi Hendrix came down and burned everyone to death with his flaming guitar.

Miss_Mayhem Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 How could I have bin so stoopit? The cloos where right there, in front of me the whole times. I mean ... the cows ... the milk ... the crop-circles ... my dreams ... all right there ... Anyway, have any of you guys been so worried about something that it affects your dreams? I remember once that I was missing this one important homework assignment, and I was all freakin' out. Near the end of my sleep, I half woke (So I ws half asleep, half awake), and the part of me that was dreaming was all like ,'dont worry, i got this supper smart plan that will take care of everything', and the woken part was all like,'..but...'. The dream side won, and i felt all invincible and smart and worryfree, and then I woke up and felt so dumb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss_Mayhem Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 Duct-tape? Laser gun? More cryptic messages about your next victim? *looks at sig for clues*, movie reels ... mage/warlock ... tiger ... a guy who looks like the president ... you are going to assasinate the actor who portrays the prez in 24, aren't you? Arent yooooooooo!?!?!?!?? I had a crapperific nightmare last night(dont ask), and the fact that Ford Cruller appeared at the end didn't make it any better. Why oh why did I go to sleep? Thinking back, in the dream, I was thinking, "is this a dream? It's gotta". I was THAT close to having a lucid dream, Snap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I never have nightmares. I sometimes have scary dreams, but I don't consider them nightmares because I don't wake up terrified or anything, I actually think they're kind of cool. I can only remember having one bona-fide nightmare in the last ten years (there could have been more, but I only remember one) and in it, I was pinned up against the wall by an invisible force, inside a church, and something was writing a name on the floor. The dream was over before the name was finished, thank God, but when I woke up I was covered in sweat and not at all happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss_Mayhem Posted July 3, 2006 Author Share Posted July 3, 2006 w00t! I finally had another lucid dream peoples! I was in my front yard ... and it just happened, I just knew. I was a bit dissapointed that I couldn't change the environment, so i decided to fly. It was cool, even though my flying skillz are far from being the shiznit. The sad thing was that it lasted only a few dream minutes (around 10 since time flows faster in a dream). I just lost control over my lucidity, it slipped away. Or it could have been that I was entering another dream, as you have 3 or so seperated dreams a night, and your previous dream doesn't carry over to the next (Which is why they have so little consistinsy and are so weird). The lucidity usually only lasts one dream unless you 'wake up' in your others. And I 'woke' near the end . They say that you should spin around if you feel that your lucid dream is fading. I forgot! PS: OMG, I'va had evil dictator celebrities in my dreams too!! Just that it was Martha Stewart and she wanted to take over the world. And no, not with her her delicious pastries.

elTee Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 The sad thing was that it lasted only a few dream minutes (around 10 since time flows faster in a dream). That's not entirely true - time perception in the dream world is the same as in the real world. The reason time seems to go by faster is that you subconsciouslly know that you're dreaming and it's not real - this is easier to explain by example: If you were having a dream where you saw your friends outside from your bedroom window, the next thing would probably be that you were standing outside with them. This is because your brain skips the 'leave bedroom, walk downstairs, open front door, walk to friends' steps because they are largely irrelevant and will just take up time. This is very useful for achieving lucidity too, as if you make a point of remembering the banal steps between things (ie, walking downstairs, or the car journey to a place) when you dream and they don't occur, it might stun you into 'waking up.' Of course, the hardest thing is staying calm as soon as you're lucid. Oftentimes I would be so "omg yes" that I would wake up for real. It's a very curious feeling though, to be doing something and to know that it's a dream - I've never had the feeling for long, and I've only known that I knew it was a dream after I've woken up - like "I had a dream last night and in the dream I knew it was a dream" if you see what I mean.

Smon Posted July 3, 2006 Share Posted July 3, 2006 Another way to help have a lucid dream is similar to your reality check idea, every hour or so try to form matter with your mind. It worked for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss_Mayhem Posted July 4, 2006 Author Share Posted July 4, 2006 I've been doing the reality checks throughout the day, but this seems interesting. Can you elaborate on the explanation a bit? I haven't had enough lucid dreams to know waking up to be a problem, but so far, I've stayed asleep all the way through. But i kinda wasted time wondering what to do while lucid. I had tryed to change the environment (Oh look, it's my front yard, whoopdydoo) but I couldn't so I just decided to do one of the more common things. Flying. I think I tryed to go too high, so I actually felt the hight-fear setting in. I shoulda settled for floating. Also, it would have been nice to have 'woken' at a different 'time'. Yeah, it was my front yard. At nite. And my neighborhood isn't the safest, so the paranoia still carried through even though I knew that nothing could really hurt me. I better find a way to use the lucid dreams I do get to the max, instead of admiring how real the c0@t feels... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mashi An'krekku Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 I was playing Super Mario Bros. 3 in my dream last night.

DarthAve Posted July 5, 2006 Share Posted July 5, 2006 I'm back from vacation. I had no real dreams, except this one where Raz and Lili got into fireworks at Wispering Rock and began to shoot everyone with roman candles. Raz was all "YOUR STORIES SUCK, NOW YOU DIE!" and he shot Vernon in the face with a bottle rocket. Yeah, the moral is playing with fireworks kicks ass. I should know!

Miss_Mayhem Posted July 6, 2006 Author Share Posted July 6, 2006 Oooh! I luv fireworks! We were shootin' 'em last night in my Gramma's front yard, and it was fun until the cops showed.

Gruducuuz Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 I have this book on psychic dreaming, but, (my parents are divorced and all that stuff,) the book is at the other parents house, so I'll post here sometime later this week,(maybe month,) when I analyse these dreams and tell you what they mean.

Smon Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 So elTee, tell me about these sacred herbs, like the cultivation and preparation of them. I've heard some of them can do great things for psychic and spiritual energies and such. The sacred Mahou Ha-bu root is said to have magical properties. But only because I just invented it. But yeah, please elTee, enlighten us. You seem to be very knowledgeable in this field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elTee Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Well, the most important thing to understand about all this is that you have to have an open mind and be of the persuasion that the Earth is capable of providing a cure for almost anything that ails you. I know scientists take a plant and analyse the composition, find out which chemicals in it are active and then synthesise them in a laboratory and this has 'the same effect' (or stronger due to the purity) but when you're sort of a borderline pagan like me then the active compounds in a plant are not nearly as important of the spirit of the plant itself. After all, you're consuming a living entity; it is dying for you to experience something. That said, each plant is not unique to itself, but governed by a spirit which is invested in each plant of a particular species, which is why the plants aren't 'angry' at you for consuming them. Of course, if you consume them with the wrong attitude then the spirit of that plant is less likely to be benevolent towards you, which in my opinion is a major reason why so many people have very bad trips on Amanita Muscaria mushrooms, and to a lesser extent the Psilocybin mushrooms. You go seeking knowledge, not some fun - and in doing so are more likely to be shown a useful vision. If you think that all this is gibberish, then my advice is probably of no use to you. I am a person who uses entheogens for spiritual reasons, which is in most people's eyes akin to 'being a druggie' or 'being a hippie' but it isn't. What I'm talking about here is essentially drug taking, but with legal substances - and as most of you are under 18, it's important for me to say that I don't think you should mess around with the more powerful things like Salvia until you're good and ready; and when that is is up to you, but please don't think I'm encouraging it. I'm not! However, I don't have any problem talking about so-called 'dream herbs' with you as there are no restrictions on them that I know about, and are generally available in health food stores. But! If you want to try any of these read the links in this post first! Don't go out and blindly buy a 'dream herb' and then find out it has some side-effects you don't like or can't handle. Know your substances! The best one that I know about is called Calea Zacatechichi. As far as I know this plant is legal everywhere except for Louisiana, where it is illegal as sold for human consumption but presumably still available in garden centres. It can be made into a tea, crushed into capsules and swallowed, or smoked depending on your preference - but here is a beginner's guide to the preparation of this herb - read it carefully. The general concensus on Calea is that it will lead to a very clear dreamstate and improve your dream recall - if you take it with some kind of regularity it would no doubt be useful towards achieving lucidity. Here is an experience report of someone using the melatonin, vitamin-B6 and valerian combo I told you about, with doses. There are many more on Erowid. These are the only substances I have experience with and I think it would be irresponsible to endorse anything I haven't tried myself. If you're interested, search for shops online with the words 'entheogens' or 'dream herbs' and see what they have to offer. If you find something that looks good, look it up on this list and see what other people think about it - as they say, 'you cannot deny the experiences of others'. Alternatively, go into a head shop (or any kind of 'pagan' or wicca type store; one that sells potions and bongs and incense and 'legal joints', you know the type) and just tell them you are looking for substances that will affect your dreams - they'll know more than me. If you go to a health store, just tell them you're looking for a natural sleeping aid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
