>do you dream?

I haven't, not lately at least, BUT a few months back, after experiencing some heavy shit under psychodelics, I started to have recurring nightmares where my hands would rot and twist into ugly fokin shapes

It happened at least 20 times, and I would usually never be able to wake up; I would go directly onto the next dream, which I always ended up confusing with reality

The nightmares usually started with me doing something mundane, like, walking around my room, when suddenly, I would notice something weird, like being able to see with my eyes closed. Afterwards, yeah, my hands would do all of the things mentioned above


Its an awful experience, but im really glad that I haven't had to deal with anything of the sort for a good while now

>I would go directly onto the next dream
this is something that happens to me all the time

ive explained it to people before and i dont think everyone gets this. personally i probably have anywhere from like 2-6 dreams a night sometimes… i usually dont remember them, sometimes i can remember the transition period between two seperate dreams, that "moving" between dreams can often push me into lucidity.

when i was a kid i read somewhere you can train yourself to realize you are in a dream. the method i used was every time i walked in my bedroom i would pick something up to check if there was a "big red button" under it - it sounds weird but it works. but you have to do it every single time you enter your room etc. and when you dont see the "big red button" you think "ok. im not dreaming"

i kept doing that and one day eventually i picked something up and bam. big red button. i was dreaming and instantly realized it - as soon as that happened i had full control of my dream. its an interesting experiment to try especially if you want to gain better control over your dreams IMO
