Anon can't escape

Remembering your dream at all is consistent with not being asleep for long
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.
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.
Found it:
Are any of those people software developers? I'm curious what kind of code it is. I hope it's not JavaScript.
I took DMT once and it's in my top ten worst experiences I ever had. Didn't have a laser with me and even if I had I would've be unable to use it.
However, I also had a common DMT experience: The "dial in" tone. I don't know why it's called like that, it has nothing to do with modem sounds. It's just a really loud high pitched beep that distorts at the end.
Thats a good point I would love to know that as well. (not a coder)
Yeah I've heard about the bad experiences thats pretty much why I never actively looked to get any. Like salvia I saw or heard to many bad trips and just noped out.
Never heard of the "dial tone" just makes me want no not take it more.
If I could do it in a really controlled environment ok I would. I'm talking rich guy safe, Doc onsite and gentle orderly's.
Gotta try this before it gets patched
I would too, I'm no stranger to psychedelics except DMT. I wouldn't even know where to look for that and be able to trust it.
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.
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...
I remember waking up after a lifetime-long dream, seeing my partner asleep beside me, and hugged her so hard she woke up and got mad at me. Didn’t care, in my mind I hadn’t seen her in decades.
Thats terrifying, amazing, and so sweet I have the I and II diabeetus!
Did you ever explain to your partner what happened?
Right after, and then she hugged me back just as hard. Though perhaps a bit concerned as she’s never had a dream like that.
Oh thats awesome! (I'm jelly lol)
