Just curious if anyone's had any interesting experience with stimulants effecting their dream world. I did a bit of research and didn't manage to find much.
I find that high doses of stimulants (most notably the methy tabs of ecstasy I used to get when I was a kid) would pave the way for semi-lucid, semi-conscious and EXTREMELY vivid dream states. Y'know, that state where you're 3/4 asleep but could still wake yourself up if you -really- wanted to; that state in which you aren't quite lucid dreaming but you can push and prod your dreams (visions, more like) in different directions. This is different from the notable 'opiate visions,' in a sense that these visions are often more surreal (riding a wave for miles; tearing through a forest on a mine cart Donkey Kong style) as opposed to opiate visions which often provide altered visions of the surrounding world, important people in your life, etc.
I'm sure there's a boatload of research into the effects of psychedelics and dreaming, though I've not noticed a whole lot of effect from psychedelics personally save for a few failed attempts at astral projecting and self-induced lucid dreaming.
Anyone have any experience with astral projecting / lucid dreaming on stimulants? I'm pretty jibbed out right now and I'm going to make an effort tonight to introduce my subconscious and my consciousness, and was wondering if anyone else had any tips/tricks/stories.
