I like the way calling it a "waking dream" hints that, during a trip, the subconscious (whatever it is concretely) expands its connection with the conscious mind.

The fact that lucid dreaming is a way to explore your mind ("psychonaut" is a name that both psychedelic users and lucid dreamers use) is more evidence of that, for me.

good point. i'm just hesitant to throw lucid dreaming, meditation, and LSD into the same bucket. it's like comparing a hammer to a paintbrush to a belt sander.

i mean, they may very well all belong in exactly the same bucket. i am just hesitant to jump to that conclusion.

on what basis do you base the assumption that the subconscious mind is something "concretely" ? Isn't it's non-concreteness kind of the point of calling it the subconscious ?
