Dreams.

[Rafiq]

Let's talk about dreams.

I'll list some stuff to discuss:

DMT: Found in mammals, and plants, powerful shit, some say this is the source of dreams. When taken, through a plant, you can get phycedelic experiences and such.

Is our world the dream world?: Lol jk, I'm a Materialist.

If anyone can post some articles or useful shit, that'd be great.

Also: Why is DMT illegal? Is this a bourgeois conspiracy? They literally have no reasoning! Explain?

I read up on how to induce lucid dreaming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucid_dreaming) a while back, but gave up when i discovered i could get mescaline semi-legally. Some stuff i remember is
I: Start a dream journal, when you first awake write down everything you remember from your dreams, for some reason if you remember the dreams you had you will have a higher chance of remembering subsequent dreams, i can confirm this
II: before you go to sleep think over and over in your head "its just a dream" i personally found it very hard to do so i can't confirm rather it works
III: take fish oil pills right before going to sleep, i tried it and it didn't do shit. But i have read a lot of people on the internet claiming it does, so for each his own.

Have you looked into Surrealist politics?

There are some interesting discussions of DMT in Daniel Pinchbeck's Breaking Open the Head. The book's a good read, here's the site: http://www.breakingopenthehead.com/

The Greeks had public resting areas, with a curtain and a bed in rows of small spaces. Next to the bed was a book. When the citizen woke up, he would try to write down his dream in detail for philosophical study.

Okay, but can anyone tell me why DMT is significantly more illegal than drugs like Cocaine and Crack?

Probably due to its extreme psychedelic properties its also quite similar to Psilocin. And much like Shrooms and LSD you could probably kill yourself or someone else while on the substance. That's the reason--at least on the books--as to why its banned.

I believe DMT was banned in the US in the late 60s during the panic over hippy culture. A number of drugs were criminalized with not much thought.

Cocaine isn't a Schedule 1 drug because it has very practical medical uses, usually as an anesthetic for eye surgery. Crack certainly wouldn't fall into that category. Crack (aka crummy freebase cocaine) has been criminalized in very particular ways, especially around US sentencing laws. I'm not up on the latest. Try Erowid or bluelight.ru
