Miles O’Brien: “Fuck you.”

Wait this could maybe be good if used very responsibly. When I had my last shroom trip, i was gone so long that I had to meet every single one of my friends again, but i had so much time to learn and think in that time span (it was also horrible). Dangerous concept for sure though lol

Sunrosa ,

I’m also kinda scrambled now though

MutilationWave ,

It’s ok to be a little scrambled. You may have gained insight into a better way to exist that conflicts with the way your society is organized.

I once had a dream lasting months, ultra vivid.m, ending in a futuristic battle scene in which everyone around me was massacred and then I was killed last. Woke up, and three minutes had passed since I last looked at my phone.

Like for real months, like 30 days, 24 hours? Or the dream skipped through that timespan?

You’ve seen Total Recall right? I don’t know.

I remember a long period of wandering the countryside. Long conversations with farmers over dinner, them letting me bed down in their barns or guest rooms. Doing a little chores for each one. I remember the feeling of excitement slowly growing as I got closer to the man I was tracking.

But maybe it was just memories that appeared in my head.

The battle scene alone was well over three minutes, and it was just the very end of the dream.

But you never know.

I do remember I woke up in a literal cold sweat. As in my skin was cold to the touch, and I was covered in sweat, and my heart was racing, and I was full of adrenaline and terrified. I’ve never woken up like that, and never had a cold sweat in my life outside of that.

This actually happens often for me now. I find that afterward it’s almost like coming down from a real psychedelic trip, for the entire day. And i have the clarity to recall memories from my childhood that i once thought lost, lasting the whole day

In my case it happened during the last weeks of my mother’s life. I was staying with her and taking care of her.

I was really bitter about it. I was in denial that it was the end, and I just saw it as I didn’t get to be with my friends and my new life in the city I’d moved to just out of college.

So I did a meditation, where I was doing something with my heart chakra, trying to remind myself to be grateful for my mother and this chance to see her, and trying to remind myself she was dying.

Uber driver, gotta go, upvote and ask me for more if you want rest of story.

I agree - figuring out how to take advantage of time dilation for therapeutic purposes would be very cool, and potentially quite useful. This is kind of what I hope comes from renewed research into psychedelics, being able to pick out the mechanisms for all the different effects and developing techniques to cherrypick just a few with therapeutic benefit with a much reduced risk of freak out. We may already be there re:time dilation alone with TCMS or something, idk.

But real talk - which do you see getting funded for wider use first, 5 year retreat in an hour, or psychic prison?

(Actually, saying it at loud it might be even odds, depending on the price tag folks can assign to the retreat)

I just read Junji Itos Long Dream Manga, this reminded me of that. It’s a good read if you have the time.

Of all the eldritch horrors the cosmos has to offer none have more potential than some mortal apes on a random planet.

So, we can do what a bunch of aliens did to O’Brien when they tried, convicted and incarcerated him for 20 years and it was 20 minutes in real time.

Iain M. Banks - Surface Detail has a really fucked up version of that concept in it.

bitwolf ,

The movie “Other life” demonstrates how this could go wrong.

TokenBoomer ,

Just make them do their own taxes; same difference.

DancingBear ,

Free movie on YouTube called other life that is about this

bcron ,

I wouldn’t want to see how someone would react after going through something like that. Sounds like a supervillain origin story or some shit. “Jokes on you, it was a simulation! Now grab your stuff, you are free to go!”
