Hi,
The other day I was listening to Strawberry Fields Forever by The Beatles, and one line of the lyrics struck me as possibly refering to LDing. Here's the section of the song, with the line I'm talking about in bold:
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you down, 'cos I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Strawberry Fields forever.
"But you know I know when it's a dream" sounds like a lucid reference to me. Plus they keep saying 'Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout'. Kind of describes the lucid experience. Could they be talking about LDing? I heard LDing was quite popular back in the 60's, but then again so was LSD, so they could just be talking about an acid trip or something. What's your take on it?
Adam
