HI Havent posted for a while. been keeping a journal offline for now. I have found that it is impossible for me to achieve ld when I have consumed any sort of drug.

I wanted to ask about reccuring locations. I seem to have almost a set number of locations where many of my dreams take place. say I dream I'm at a festival, it will ,in my dream look unlike anytthing I have been to, not even imagined, but it will look like the ones I have seen in other dreams. Sometimes in one dream a location will be a gig hall or nightclub in another, a cinema. Train stations, whole towns, although completely fictional and bizzare, definetly reccur in dreams very regularly. This has been nicely freaking me out for the last couple of weeks.

Also the strange mind trick of layering visuals in the dream, so you are looking at all the different possible angles and options at the same time. For example a bus journey - all at the same time I see a bus coming, me getting on, the trip, loads of other weird spinoffs, at the same time as just sitting there trundling along, waiting to arrive. . It's hard to explain.

The dream state is still such an intriguing mystery.
