I get it, I’m cynical. But am I the only one that wonders how much of this is true, and how much “poetic license”?
Cheese before bed? Art-house movies? Art-house substances?
I really do not recommend high dosages over 50mg, peripheral neuropathy is not fun to have.
Honestly, I don't know. I don't remember them not being like that. I still have some normal dreams, even the common ones like teeth falling out. But a large portion of my dreams have always been nonsense.
I've dabbled in sleep deprivation in the past and after four days it's as if I'm dreaming while my eyes are open, simultaneously sleeping on some level while still functioning in the world. It was as if totally random and crazy movies were playing in my head and my consciousness would uncontrollably alternate between them for minutes at a time, only occasionally giving attention to the one in front of my eyes.
The interesting part for me, is that as soon as I realized these were crazy and not reality, I would instantly zap myself awake. It made things incredibly difficult and I would have to close my eyes with the intention of not trying to detect if what I was thinking about was real.
