I appreciate your concern, you didn't emply anything, all you did was give me something to write about. - My sister was originally diagnosed with stress induced psychosis and then Schizophrenia, and medicated so that I barely knew her, she had lost her snap. Having grown up with four boisterous men in the house, she knows how to make a man walk on egg shells believe you me. I am all in favour of the notion that doctors and scientists know best but some of them really don't, some are Narcissistic dick heads seeking to spew their political hatred. How did the GP help me by tearing into me over the phone about my employment status for example? I wasn't asking for a job, I was asking for help. He locked me into fight or flight mode with his attitude, had he been standing in front of me it would have been a good night sleep for him. -Lulz on the narcissism bit, bro. We have the prime example of it here in the USA, in
the form of the Orange Demon.
So sorry to hear about your sis. Diagnosis of that kind is best left to the pros, or not,
maybe if you have your way. I just have known quite a few people who have it, And the stories
they told, and the lives they led would be hard for anybody, so I hope for her sake,
your sis doesn't have it. Too bad if it's misdiagnosed.
As to this "metaverse" you refer, I'm talking a bit higher realm of communication than
merely some virtual reality derived from maybe a head set or some technical device. I
was considering whether lucid dreaming itself might be a form of global communication.
Though I doubt it, but ya never know. That was why I thought you and padawan and RIU member
lusidghost should get your heads together and try some lucid dreaming you all could take
one hella nap together.I only know what I read about LD some 20 years ago, and decided
it wasn't for me. But i'd sure be interested in what you guys could come up with.
I never intended to even imply that you have schizophrenia, I hope that's not how
you understood it. I was merely trying to demonstrate the extremes of brain chemistry, which
is why I said, "It's all in their heads. It's in all of our heads." By that I meant, yanno, brain chemistry.
I never thought that you took LSD but your fellow lucid dreamer, padawan, implied that you might.
When the Police raided my home and made me do the walk of shame in front of my neighbours, (who love me), placing me in a urine stenched cell for a day having not been in one for 40 years, when I can no longer stand for long periods, didn't even give me a chair to sit on, it does send you a bit doo lally. I was referred to a quack, who's mind had already been made up before I even got there. I was diagnosed in 20 minutes with anxiety & depression, and given a drug called Mirtazipine which was for me incredibly strong, i could barely tolerate the childs dosage of 5mg. It was combined with another drug I forgot the name of which made my legs go really weird when combined . Because of the origin of the referal she had me down (A mistake) as a person in search of morphine and benefits, and the double speak in the letter she sent back to my GP just made me sound well dodgy, which in turn suggested to her woke colleagues that I was likely a justifiable target for a little more institutional Narcissistic abuse. She documented that I was trembling. So yes lets trust the doctors, but not all of them. Some of thrm want to rule the world they are so brilliant.
As far as contacting your mates via the dreamscape blower, its easier to pick up the phone these days. but right now i've got a phone phobia. Wonder why.
I follow my nose not the crowd, and I noticed this website seems to be a little infected with Narcissism because if you dare say to anyone look, I don't want my grandchildren or the society I live in filled with hallucinogens sold as a short cut to God, you are shot down and your words immediately covered. I quit all that nonsense when I was 17, I grew up.
You only have reality, and synthetic reality, take your pick, my point is the best experienced are earned by working on our characters, not purchased. When you see someone truly enjoying a hallicinogenic trip, its probably because she or he is morally sound, but if like me, you have been a sinner, expect a bad trip man.
I'm actually pretty ill but the NHS is on its knees so I'm not being treated as well as I would have been for example in the 70's when I could go to the GP surgery any time of day, free at the point of entry, and if the que was too long, come back later. - Nice talking to you my friend.
