hi all. i posed here a while back when i started having WILDS which until i came here i thought were hallucinations, soon after though i discovered weed and soon lost interest in dreaming. anyway since now and then i have tried somewhat of a variety of drugs, x, coke, alcohol, viconin, and most recently shrooms. i was not at all prepared for the shrooms or how much i consumed for my first trip also i was alone. basicaly i experience what my friend calls an egodeath, such an intense trip that i completely lost myself, my concept of identity and such. so to make a long story short, after i started smoking wilds didn't just randomly hit me every once in a while like they used to, they really only happened like 5 or so times. smoking also killed my normal dreams. anyway due to parents i gotta take it easy on the drug stuff so i want to get into dreaming. anyway not that you needed all the background or anything but i wanted to know if something like the following is possible, the psilocybin in shrooms effects the human brain and makes people exerpeince the altered state of consciousness, if the brain is capable of that is it then possible to achieve the same or similar state w/o the use of an outside substance? i guess my few wilds i have had made me think, or maybe its wishfully thinking, that there is more to reality that what i consciously persieve in my everyday life, i want to experience this or learn about this and realy dont know were to start. life for me is very lonely and empty so i'm hoping maybe exploring this kind of thing could help me feel better, doubt it though. i'm guessing most people will say check out the tutorials for lucid dreaming on this site and the like, just thought i would throw this out there if anyone had any other recomened learning materials or something....thanks and sorry if the post is unclear.
