I mean I get weird dreams all the time. Cities that don't exist, whole worlds and people I have never met.
Craziest one I think for me personally was:
I was being held in a hospital for the mentally insane child. Now I was not a child and it made it very awkward cause they did not like me and kept threatening to dissolve my body in acid or let the lead doctor know I wasnt a psychopathic child. Now the head doctor was Frankenstein, the monster, not the Dr who was a monster; who if you stayed still wouldn't notice you much. So I had to pretend to be into shape puzzles and torture, while hiding at the sound of heavy boots.
Anyways, after 2 months I planned my escape by pretending to be a pregnant woman to get transferred to a new hospital.
I enjoyed the view of the California coastline as I rode away in that limo taking off my fake belly and wig to the shock of everyone in the audience. I had won.
Then I woke up from my 40 minute nap.
Random question: You ever have a dream involving someone you've never met, then eventually meet them?
Sure. Though I chalk that up to the fact that probabilities exist in our world and my brain making up something from the available archetypes of people is gonna end up matching someone just from the sorta averaging probability.
If I dreamed of specifics and truly unique combinations like a pastor with pink hair who rides a horse and met them, I would put more thought to it.
Otherwise it is just chalked up to the average ordinary everyday miracles like a song coming on that matches your thoughts or mood or thinking you hear the thoughts of someone close to you. Incredible coincidence and pattern recognition that the world and we are capable of.
Waitress! Yeah... I'll have what he's having.
hands over DMT vape Just keep hitting this, you'll get there eventually.
[/s, but people have reported the 'living a surreal but otherwise ~realish life experience for a while' experience before, rather than the more common 'machine elves in psychedelic munchkin land' experience. I personally wouldn't touch that shit with a 20 foot pole - I like weird but there's such a thing as too weird]
Agreed with avoiding it. I have thought occasionally about psychedelics but like my brain doesnt need shit to get weird. And the after affects and possible addiction seems rough.
