Experiment #1: The Dream Alchemist

Introduction:

It is my belief that the Human mind is infinite, and if that mind is infinite then infinite possibilities lie within its capabilities. simularly the universe is infinite with infinite posibilites. I'm sugesting here that we are all the sleeping gods of our own personal universes. The strict earth bound physical existance we find ourselfs in is like some huge organization created that we might comune with one another. universe of infinite capability to universe of infinite capability.
If imagination is one way of tapping our infinite resource then the full emersion of and full realization of this imaginal rhelm (the dream world) would be the best place to begin any sort of self exploration.
My hypothesis****is that the dream world is the world between worlds, and that we can, with the proper thinking go just about anywhere. in other words, our personal infinite space is where we begin our journey to other spaces. For example, when we wake up out of dream consciousness, we find ourselfs in this comunal physical world we call "the real world", or we find ourselfs in another dream (as im sure driftwood knows all about), another possibility is that we find ourselfs on the "astral plane" parallel to the physical world where we can actually see whats going on in other parts of the physical world while we "sleep". Another posible world would be the world of the mckennian machine elfs that normally come by a DMT trip. Even terence himself said that some day he'd find himself in a dream and someone would hand him a glass pipe...
Through my Lucid dream experiences i've discovered some fairly reliable methods of navigation through it. I dont consider it manipulation because im sure anyone who's ever flown in a dream before knows you can't just will yourself to fly. there seems to be some sort of "trick" to dream flight. It's not manipulation, its more of an understanding and a conscious effort. So here's the experiment.

The Experiment:

I'm assuming most of us are familiar with drug use and spacifically of smoking things. In the dream world there are many paths and gates and keys that we can use to get from one dream space to another, and perhaps places not limited to personal dream space. the point of this experiment is to see if we can go beyond our own space into other. weather it be a friends dream space, thus a yielding a shared dream experience, or astral space or any other space imaginable. What I would like to focus on for this experient is the dream enthogen. using the imagery and implications of enthogens(drugs), and what have you, as gates to our desired space. The reason for this is the emotional significance the use of these substance has. I'm willing to bet we've all taken drugs in our dreams. I'm willing to bet that there's a noticible change in our cognition in our dreams after partaking. I believe the enthogenic/drug dream imagery to potencially be a very powerful key or gate or what have you in the navigation through the other worlds. I'm sugesting that since we cant always just will things to happen the exact way we want them to in our dreams, that we can instead encourage the things we want to happen with the proper sugestions.
Once i was in a lucid dream and was completely alone. I feared that the first sign of life i would see would be the scary creature i saw the night before. so suddenly the idea to call a friendly name came to mind. I called out as loudly as possible the name "sarah". there was no reply. I called again and sure enough i heard a responce. eventually i found a safe person and the dream only got better. So instead of just willing people to apear (which i could not do) I called for someone.

Here's what i want you to try:

#1. before you go to bed think of a character. try to imagine the wisest person imaginable. someone capable of producing a smokable substance that is the key to the rhelm you intend to visit. Come up with a name for this character and asume that as you think of him your subconscious is underway creating this character with great detail or asume that he's being located somewhere in your infinite mind.

#2. Once you find yourself in a dream call his name. if you dont remember his name call the first name that comes to mind.

#3. Get to know this dream character. that is really all that can be asked in this installment of the experiment because if you dont know the Alchemist whos making your tincture you cant nessesarilly trust what he offers you. so just get to know who he is. what he's like. I'm serious really try this.

P.S. if you fear the image will fade at any point after lucidity simply hold something inbetween your fingers. a pebble or a button hole or anything and focus your intention on it, and know that if you wake up holding something between your fingers you're most certainly still dreaming. NO MATTER WHAT! if you're holding something in one dream and holding something else.. youre still dreaming. sleep paralasys prevents you from actually grabbing anything or even moving skelital muscles while dreaming.

If you have any questions just post them. from my experience I truly believe this experiment will be worth trying.

THANK YOU!
