Introducing: myself.

http://members.home.nl/marihuana/Mymandala3.jpg

Hi.

I've read this forum for a while and I really enjoy it. It has good information and openminded people. :)

The last year or so I've grown increasingly interested in consciousness. I'm a psychology student and started my studies with enthusiasm, but lately I find a traditional psychological approach to consciousness limiting.

I have eaten mushrooms and acid. I wanted to discover my mind and its potential. I wrote an essay on the phenomenological similarities between psychedelic experiences and mystical experiences.

Subjectivity of perception is something I think a great deal about.

Then I discovered lucid dreaming, and started reading. I started recording my dreams. I have found that my dream recall has dramatically increased over the past few days, both in detail and quantity. This is motivating, and even if I won't have a lucid dream for years, I will keep trying. The mere information I've gathered from my dream journal so far has already given me helpful insights in my own psyche. It's rewarding already. :)

Welcome to DreamViews! That's great that you are so intent on lucid dreaming, it really is a wonderful experience. What exactly do the mushrooms and acid do though? I love your avatar.

Welcome to the forum. I hope that you stick around. Have you considered being adopted to aid your lucid dreaming?

Thanks. What mushrooms and acid do... I'll keep it short. :)

The effects of psychedelic drugs vary. They're dependent on your own state of mind (expectations, experience, childhood, more recent past etc.), the environment (don't take acid in a traffic jam unless you want to experience hell), and the dosage.

I like the deep sea diving analogy: if you're well-prepared, experienced, and have a general idea of what to expect, there is a reduced chance of anything going wrong and you will discover a beautiful new world.

Of course the kind of psychedelic matters as well, but that's enough on that topic. Visit www.erowid.org for details and literature, it's a good site for information on psychoactives.

I hadn't, until you asked. Now I wanna be adopted. :P I've only just started improving my dream recall though. I'm completely new to this.
