Re: Is this normal?

hi,

the two worlds - the dream world and the waking world - exist in different dimensions and are separated by a filter that exisits between our conscious and subconscious minds. for some this filter is quite thick and not porous at all, they live very "normal" mainstream lives. for others the filter barely exists and they are constantly traveling between the two worlds, the mystics and poets and the muscicans are among them.

some drugs, especially the hallucinogens, erase much of the functions of this filter and allow one to see the waking world thru the eyes of the dream world. some report amazing insights, etc. however, the filter is there for a reason and messing with it can sometimes have negative consequences. aldous huxley wrote "the doors of perception" a book about his experiences taking mescaline. the doors he refers to that open and close, and allow different mental and emotional experiences to occur, is the same thing i refere to as a filter. the rock group "the doors" took their name from huxley's book.

it appears to me that you have opened some doors, or that your filter has been permanently opened, and the your dreams are leaking thru from the other world continuously. sometimes when you open a door, it closes fairly quickly, sometimes it gets stuck open. yours may be stuck open.

i would recccomend two things. first accept the possibility that there are still some toxins left from the mushroom in your system and get down to the business of detoxing. liver detox would THE KEY. also a parasite cleanse and bowel cleanse. go to the Liver Flush Forum here for more info.

then do this. go into a meditative state, relax and concentrate. then travel in your mind to the exact place where your dreams are coming thru and then just be there. don't try to change anything. just be right there in that space and watch as dreams are coming thru and remember them but do not attach yourself to them. just allow them to come and allow them to come and allow them to come and watch in a totally nuetral position. keep doing this and sooner or later you will see where the leak in your filter is and you will then see how to repair it. it may take a while, but also you will learn a lot about yourself. you may not ever actually have to do anything, the filter may repair itself simply by you being aware of it and watching and accepting yourself. afterall it is your mind, you have control of it whether you realize it or not.

there are consequences to everything we do, then again healing is always possible and life is about learning is it not? i am sure you are learning a lot.
