When I was in high school, I heard this thing about getting “high” through blood pressure and oxygen manipulation. The technique (don’t try at home):
-
Be seated.
-
Actively hyperventilate for 30s. Deeeeep breaths.
-
Stand up quickly.
-
Immediately stick thumb in mouth with full lungs and attempt to blow air out as hard as possible without actually letting any out.
-
That’s it. That’s the whole thing.
So, feeling dubious, I tried it while hanging out with some friends. I stand up, do the thing, and in <5s boom. Dreamland. I had what felt like a full 6-hour experience, semi-lucid dreaming. I had some control and awareness that I was dreaming, flew around some giant yellow and pink mushrooms. I dont remember any other details at this point, but it was a whole day pretty much.
Wake up to my head hitting my buddy’s guitar. I somehow had an hours-long experience in the time it took for me to pass out and hit the ground. Haven’t done it since, but man, I don’t think I’ll ever forget that. One hell of a ride.

Where the hell am I going to try it, then??

don’t try at home
Should I try this at a train station then?

If you can. If not, a dim alley or gas station bathroom is fine.

My salvia experience was like that.

It seems like your whole life flashed in front of your eyes…alas, you did not die

Bruh if that was my life sign me the fuck up. 98% of my dreams are better and more interesting than my life, including whatever the hell this was. Alas is right.

So no one told you you would never find your way
👏👏👏👏
You’re trapped forever, you’re lost, your one life’s D.O.A.~
It’s like you’re always stuck going down some stairs!
When you’re stuck a day, a week, a month, or even a year~ butI’ll be coming for you! (When the rain starts to pour) I’ll be coming for you! (Cause you’ve been here before) I’ll be coming for you! (And there’s nothing you can do~) Dun da da di dum di di dum.

Remembering your dream at all is consistent with not being asleep for long

I have massive time dilation when I have dreams. I can have what feels like an 8 hour+ dream in a 30 minute nap. Also if I go back to sleep right away I can rejoin the last dream.

Maybe you’re being dropped into another instance in the simulation.

Could be, they had that guy that said if you take DMT and shine a laser along the wall you can see code running. He says other people see the same thing.

I’ve had dreams that took place over years. An entire alternate lifetime in one of them. Always very disorienting to wake up from one of those.
TIEPilot@lemmy.world 6 hours ago
I I completely understand, my dreams are so real. I can smell, feel the breeze, etc. Sometimes when I wake up I have to look around and remind myself I’m in bed and its a dream.
Sometimes thats awesome, other times its a horror story. The last one was a mixed bag…

Guess OP never saw Inception. The time dilation is real.

This sort of thing is exactly why I don’t take naps anymore. It happened a few too many times and it’s genuinely a horrible experience. Incredibly vivid. I got the sensation I could feel my actual body being unable to move. So no more naps no matter how tired I am.

Did you know that if you smoke weed every day, you will stop dreaming entirely? It messes with REM sleep, but it’s the only way I can get any sleep at all; legalization was a quite a few years ago now where I live so I haven’t had a dream in years.
Just something to consider if you have easy access to cannabis.

I found I am way more likely to experience weird, nightmare-ish bs if I sleep on my back, or when I drank some alcohol. Maybe there are factors that control it for you as well.
