Haha "psycheledics". Nice title.

+2 points for correcting another classmates spelling error!

This thread is fascinating. Definitely doesn't belong in R/S forum though.

blade5x, you should check out my thread on human vibrational frequency here: http://dreamviews.com/community/showthread.php?t=46091

There is no doubt that certain drugs can tune you into different frequencies. I could probably go on about this for days but will spare you all the long post. :P

That guy died because he dosed up dramatically wrong thinking it was another Drug requiring that dose. I remember having read it too.

And I've had my share of encounters with "Parallel universes". To me they are Realities on their own and I am obviously not alone.

Isn't it strikingly perculiar that, allthough every individual reacts differently to substances, it seems to be a Universal Truth to all who have experienced smoking DMT that they Go to an unwordly, seemingly underground dome-like place, where they all come into contact with strange beings?

Some may call them aliens, others ancestoral spirits or Gods..but the naked, uninterpretated basis of the smoked DMT experience is strikingly similair. This Universe seems coherent and credible to be considered real.

This goes into a lot of detail of what is actually happening in the brain.
psychedelic drugs
It is lengthy but interesting.

I like to consider hynopompic hallucinations that occur naturally but randomly.
Our subconscious is obviously manifesting images that are surrealistic in nature in our dreams.
Through any practice, such as medication and lucid dreaming are brain begin to mold and physically alter to a degree depending upon our conditioning.
