Here’s a 2 part video on this woman’s personal experience on Entheogens and integrating the experiences into her day to day life. Very interesting stuff and I love that she just puts it all out there!!!

Check out more at NeuroSoup, my favorite new website!

Video Clip on Using Entheogens INSIDE A Lucid Dream to Trip

She also discusses the idea of intentionally accessing the DMT inside our own body, as opposed to taking in from plants elsewhere, to experience its mindblowing effects, and using 5-MEO-DMT as to enhance your dreams. She even says she had shared dreams with the other people she used 5-MEO-DMT with!

The Search for Meaning

Ever since I started Dreaming Life, I was hesitant to share it with my family and friends.

Why?

Well…

It’s not like I’m writing about the latest mp3 players or posting gag videos.

I’m writing about Salvia Divinorum, DMT, DXM, Ayahausca, and Calea Z. I’m interviewing people on entheogens and asking people about their shamanic experiences in the jungles of Peru. I’m writing about going to sleep and waking up in your dreams. I’m asking people about the 10th Dimension and giving out tips on how to fly in your dreams.

This is not the stuff of dinner conversation!

And these subjects are rarely discussed with my friends and family because frankly, they’re not interested in it like I am.

But I do hope that the “drug theme” to this website isn’t seen as juvenile indulgence.

Ever since I was in middle school, I can remember being fascinated with drugs. I read all the cheesy propaganda books on LSD and marijuana available at the schools library.

Later, as a teenager, despite actually being big into straight edge, I was openly fascinated with hallucinogens and dissociatives and what their effects meant, what it taught us about the brain and our minds, how we process and understand reality, and maybe, just maybe, what these experience could teach us about things beyond our everyday experiences – the stuff along the lines of ego dissolution and feeling one with everything.

It is in this sense that I am intensely interested in drugs. It’s not about a buzz or getting “fucked up.” Far from it. Truth me told, I loathe that kind of attitude towards drugs.

To paraphrase Dan Carpenter:

despite my appearances to some, this pursuit is an inherently spiritual pursuit.

This doesn’t necessarily mean God or religion, although it could include those things.

What I mean is that my interest in drugs, dreaming, and the mind is a spiritual pursuit in that it’s ultimately about the search for meaning.

And that sums up the entire premise of this blog, actually.

I Finally Smoked Salvia Divinorum, Again.

Two nights ago I decided to smoke the rest of my 5x Salvia Divinorum leaves. I’ve been hanging on to the remains of this gram for 5 years! I am quite particular about using any psychedelic substances (some might say obsessively careful and extra safe) so it was a long time in coming!

It came about after reading Dan Carpenters book “A Psychonauts Guide to the Invisible Landscape,” and doing with some general research into drugs like DXM and Salvia (both legal). Now I find myself really interested in having a psychedelic adventure again.

Part I: A Psychonaut’s Guide to the Invisible Landscape: Joining the Hive Mind, Seeing Your Dreams, Crushing the Ego and… Meeting the Dead?

In A Psychonaut’s Guide to the Invisible Landscape: The Topography of the Psychedelic Experience, author Dan Carpenter makes many startling claims based on his experiences with the dissociative psychedelic DXM. (Yep, dextromethorphan – the stuff of cough syrup!)

He’s not simply having a subjective journey inside his mind; DXM actually takes him to an objective realm with other beings – some of which are the souls of recently departed friends and associates!

Yes – he’s talking about meeting the dead!

Along the way, he has out of body experiences, witnesses the seat of dreaming and memory, interacts with strange beings, lost souls, and other characters, and of course, has some seriously ego-crushing experiences, forever messing with the idea of the “I”.

Part II: A Psychonaut’s Guide to the Invisible Landscape: Can We Trust Our Own Experiences?

All the questions brought up in this book answer to a bigger question, perhaps the biggest question of all:

Can we trust our own subjective experiences?

This innocent-sounding question is one of enormous implication.
