After a year or so of experimenting with drugs - both soft, chilled drugs aswell as hard, reality-bending ones - Ive started to become really aware of the reality im in.

Not in any negative aspect whatsoever do I say this, and I am not fearful - I'm more in awe at the reality that we live in - or think we do.

What I am going to put forward, is an invitation for you to describe, in anyway possible, what the dream world feels like for YOU. Im not talking in terms of the 5 senses - I mean more than that. Think ontologically, think physiologically, think psychologically.

The best way I can describe it is almost that I feel like I am literally in another Universe, where physics are different. The general dream atmosphere poses a force that can be likened to the deep-sea pressures being put on every square inch of my body. Light feels as though it is not only hittig my "eyes" but my entire body as a whole, but also everywhere else.

I sometimes stand there in a lucid dream, admiring the fact that my "real" physical body is lieing in my bed, next to my girlfriend, who may or may not be awake, with little to no external stimuli reaching me, perhaps only warmth.

I then realise (I study physiology, remember that ) that with the fact that I am dreaming, my brain is active. No light is hitting my real eyes - so optical neurons arent REALLY being activated - but my occipital lobe is more active than ever. It is all internal. same with the motor cortex - my brain is telling myself that my body is moving, but in reality it isnt.

Chemical and electrical signals are still, if not , MORE active right now, as I stand here, in the dream.

As I rub my hands on the carpet, or the kitchen lino, or my body, I can feel every electrostatic element of the dream material I am touching. Is this simply the electrical singals in my brains translating to something falsely-visual? Or something more?

If anybody had a method of thinking even slightly similar to this - or someway completely different, Id love to hear your way of describing the way you percieve dreaming as whole. Chur
