Thread: An Introspective journey In need of interpretation

Take it from someone clinically diagnosed with HPPD.

When you begin to develop psychotic reactions, you need to stop the ganj. That is unless you're drunk enough to not care about the resulting anxiety. Ayahuasca and pretty much all other hallucinogens would be very bad idea in your case. Recent studies have indicated that progress has been made in MDMA-assisted psychotherapy for sufferers of PTSD and other anxiety related issues, this may or may not be relevant to your situation but if you feel you MUST have some form of quasi-psychedelic experience, I'd look into it. I did, and it seemed to work wonders for me

As to your dreams. Well, I'm not you so I am unable to effectively interpret something so uniquely and subjectively yours. However, I will say that Cannabis seems to be a theme here and I would hazard a guess that this is because you might be considering the possibility of having to give it up for good, which according to your post seems to be something you really enjoyed.
This 'predicament' as you put it could easily manifest itself in your dreams.

Best of luck.

i am confused, you here to talk about lucid dreaming, to sell drugs, or your insanity? Or, are you trying to set up a fencing base?

I have been diagnosed as a factory worker. What a downer.

It would never have crossed my mind to say that I am doing everything I can to turn my brain into an ash tray, but can you help me think? duh.

Wow, i am doing everything I can do to cut my legs off, so bud, can you help me run?

That's a shame, I'm sorry to hear it.

I think that this person, regardless of their lifestyle choices and subsequent mental conditions
has as much of a right to make a post about various dreams they want interpreted in a forum
called "Dream Interpretation" as anyone anyone else here.

I mean, do you refuse to help someone who has fallen down a well because they shouldn't have been playing around near it in the first place?
I should hope not.

I think you missed the point. To me, there is no difference between him and someone who turns down a job, but has no problem asking you to support them. There is a difference between helping someone to help themselves, and being enslaved by those who refuse to help themselves.

A wise man once said that we help by being an example, it was not said that we help by doing it for them.

But not to worry, he will give you plenty to be sympathetic about.

There is a big difference between playing near a well and deliberatly poisening it.

Now, me, I have been diagnosed as paranoid delusional schizo with strong socio-pathic tendencies. Currently I am up on charges for assulting 3 of my alternate personalities.

Thanks for your opinion Psychosomatic. What caused the onset of HPPD in your situation? I am going to keep cannabis smoking to a minimum and only in controlled settings. Please clarify for me, are you saying Ayahuasca has done wonders for you? I have researched Ayahuasca extensively. Of course, many reliable sources have said it can be a cure for many psychological ailments and diseases. On the other hand they have said it is not a 100% cure all to all of these ailments. I've also read that those who have a family or personal history of mental illness should steer clear of Ayahuasca. I feel as though it is a gamble to take it because I've read a couple of cases where people suffering from psychosis were healed.

What was the extent of your research exactly? Can you provide links to the "reliable sources" you mention that provide hard evidence to Ayahuasca curing mental/physical ailments?

What experience do you have with drugs other than cannabis?

No, I am recommending that you avoid all tryptamines including Ayahuasca, as it certainly isn't going to help with your psychotic reactions.
To be honest you'll probably react negatively and whatever paranoia/anxiety you were experiencing beforehand will only multiply in intensity.This is likely to lead to a horribly traumatic experience and potentially trigger a more extreme form of psychosis. Especially if you have a family history of mental illness.

My onset of HPPD can likely be attributed to excessive LSD, Psilocybin, Mescaline, Dimethyltryptamine, 2C-I and Salvia use.
However, I noticed the first disturbances after a particularly terrifying acid trip. I consider myself lucky in that it has only taken me
4 months to 'mostly' recover. I found in the end that it was predominantly an anxiety problem related to the traumatic experience in itself.
You can't unsee something you've seen.

BTW: If you must keep smoking consider numbing the anxiety with a few beers, it seems to work.
I also mentioned that MDMA has worked "wonders" for my anxiety problems, I said no such thing about Ayahuasca.

Take care of yourself.
