Acid Part 2- Another Bizarre Dream

Now for my dream!

After all this research a bizarre dream came to me!

This dream was choppy and centered around LSD and perhaps the dilemma people might face about whether to take Acid or not. Is it a positive spiritual drug as Leary says, or is it an extremely hazardous one as Nancy Reagan insisted in her 'Just say No' campaign? ( along with many others).

Anyway the dream started out with an older man ( looking back on it it seemed like this man was Ken Kesey) who planted LSD in my pocket. Mom found the tabs and freaked and I couldn't convince her that it wasn't mine.

Then I was at this big mansion (it would make sense for this to be Kesey's house) because this is where he held his 'Acid test' partys). He thought I was his psychedelic daughter (whatever that means) and I now had to pass the Acid test as an initiation's to be his daughter. Just like in the party in 'Across the Universe' there were tons of people already whirling around and laughing and such, they stood behind Kesey on a large staircase. I debated dropping the tab and in the end decided not too.. so ..he kicked me out. Then everybody started jumping into his pool that was filled to the brim with bath bubbles. Watching them in the dream I could feel the bubbles on my body as if I were swimming through them, it was intense and wondrous, and I started regretted not participating.

I went outside and met up with a friend from my university, I stopped to talk and light up a joint but it wouldn't light. I offered to share but he told me that he had stopped everything because he had had a constant buzzing in his mind that he couldn't get to stop and it frightened him. I then felt good about the choice I had made inside Ken's mansion.

Next I walked through a long, windowed hall in an academic building. Inside there was a man wearing a pro-drugs body board raising awareness about the spiritual benefits of LSD and protesting the misconceptions. This could quite easily be any of the members of the 'Merry Pranksters'.

He convinced me of his message and took me for a walk. We got into his truck, he in the drivers seat, me in the back with two other guys. One was my friend Nick, the other was a guy I know named Andrew. It was a very comfortable atmosphere in the truck and I expressed my concerns and desires about Acid. They encouraged me to try it with them. They each dropped and offered me some. I declined, I just wanted to watch.

The guy sitting to my right dropped and instantly started gaging and choking as he tried to swallow. This was the last thing that happened in the dream, it seemed quite foretelling.

I woke up with these lyrics swirling around in my mind:

"It's a happening thing...
...Love is the grooviest thing in the world until now in the world.."

'It's a Happening Thing' by Peanut butter Conspiracy.

These lyrics were kind of repeating and meshing together since I don't know all the lyrics but I could hear the exact vocals, as if I were listening to the song on the stereo. It's always like that in my dreams.. it's amazing how the songs are always so fitting and always playing when I wake up.

When I woke up I laid still looking into the dark. I started thinking about what it would be like to drop Acid and I started feeling really weird. Freaking myself out, imagining things were in my room and stuff. I was nervous, and I decided then and there that it would be horrifying to take the risk of dropping Acid. If I could get this scared and be perfectly sober think of all horrifying things I could come up with while under the influence of a hallucinogenic substance. And on top of that imagine not being able to escape the nightmare for a solid minimum of 8 hours! Eek.

Anyway this is pretty taboo topic I know, but a dream is a dream and I hate to censor myself. Besides I think it is pretty interesting. If it's telling me anything, it's obviously telling me to stay away from the stuff! :P
