In your own words, what does it mean to dream?

Dreaming is when I use my imagination for something besides generating a real-time representation of my surroundings.


Have you ever had a lucid dream?

By the conventional definition, "A lucid dream is any dream in which one is aware that one is dreaming", I lucid dream every night. But if a lucid dream is a dream in which the completeness of the visual experience rivals waking life, I've had dozens of those but generally can't sustain it for more than a minute or so. And I haven't had one in a few months at least.

Do you practice any form of lucid dreaming or lucid living?

No, and no. Unless we're using a non-doublespeak definition of lucid living, in which case yes, I am aware that I am alive.


Have you ever had a lucid day?

Yes, I am frequently aware that it is day, and frequently remain aware of that all day.

Do you consider natural psychedelic agents such as Mushrooms, Peyote, Salvia Divinorum, ayahuasca, et cetera to be beneficial as aids for increasing awareness?

No. With rare exceptions, people I've encountered who regard these as beneficial are remarkably poor at intelligent discourse on any subject. And while correlation is not causation, I don't think this is entirely a coincidence. (The Soundgarden song "Birth Ritual" pretty much sums up my view of recreational drugs including psychedelic substances, if you prefer your vitriol with guitars.)

Do you believe in Magick?

Uh, sure. I don't believe it is and does quite what proponents claim, but it does do something.

Do you practice Magick? If so, explain.

No.

Explain inorganic beings, sprits, astral entities, etc. in your own words.

These I can not explain, and it appears to me that other people can not explain them well either. I don't think they are quite what they seem, but people don't know a more accurate and complete way to think about them. I do believe they are real, and they are interrelated with our own minds but are not tied to specific bodies in a fixed way like our minds are. Some are quite intelligent.

Are you aware of your dream guide?

Is this a poll or a push poll? I have been helped in my life and personal development by incoporeal entities, apparently. I'm not currently aware of having a dream guide as such.

Do you wish to know more about dreaming, magick, consciousness, psychedelia and the other?

Its a push poll.


Are you aware that you can do anything which is dreamable?

Definitely a push poll. No I'm not aware of that, because its not true.

If you could do anything what would it be?

I'd like to have a conversation about metaphysics with some people who aren't shills for some kind of destructively self-serving agenda. I'm trying to come to grips with the fact that this rarely happens in this world though.

I'd also like to improve my heart while deepening my honesty. This is a higher priority than my other wish.
