post apocalyptic nightmare dreams

[rareboy]

I am not reading anything this dire.

I have not watched anything this dire.

But last night I dreamt that Toronto was attacked by Saudi Arabian land, air and sea forces....and it was fucking dark. They were ruthless and grim and just as cruel to their Muslim brothers as to the rest of of the City.

I woke up shocked at the precision and details of the cruelty and destructivness and depravity inflicted. And yet I was there, if not a hero, then part of a grime coated and furious resistance.

Do you think we ever envision alternate realities in our universe? I have had this apocalyptic dream since I was a child of about 12...this was the first time that the invading forces had an ID and I don't think it has anything to do with a real apocalyptic future.

When I was younger, the violence was more abstract in a way.

Last night it was unimaginably detailed and I don't think I have ever thought, or seen or read of anything like this.

Has this ever happened to you?

We are, after all, the universe made conscious.

I would pay attention to any vivid dream that you have several times. It could be a warning. I kept having the same dream about an explosion in a nearby city, and it happened exactly where and how I dreamed it. Another time I kept having a dream about a tornado hitting my town with vivid details. Again, it happened. Dreams can also be a symbolic warning, for instance the Saudi troops could represent something or someone that might pose a threat to you in the future. Of course, most dreams are nonsense, your brains way of emptying it's trash can.

I don't dream anymore just black inkiness!

 

[rareboy]

I envy inky blackness.

The World literally went to Hell in several ways again and again and again for about 12 hours when I was on P-LSD, 3mmc, sildenafil, tobacco and hash a few months ago.

It was terrible. There was a mafia sect run by Turkmens (men and women) and they had infiltrated everywhere. I could see them on the parking lot near my cruise park, and there were Turkmen women riding around in cars following their victims. They were like the demons in Christianity and they lured people in with drugs and power (saw a vision of men being tempted into coke kartels). They were everywhere and they had already won. Forever.

They had allies, who were also marked for eternal damnation, and knew it. (my sober mind says it was the men milling around the cruise park).

I heard people praying in Spanish, but it wasn't enough.

Then there were deformed monstrosities that ate humans at the end, especially those that had indulged in drugs and alcohol and other hedonism. They were like man-eating plants and enormous daddy-longlegs spiders that strangely wore stockings with elaborate lace. Their voices were ironic and mocking and terrible.

Then the theme was about the failure of the hippie movement, the ultimate failure of my late lover Jack's video organisation, and my mother's recent battle with breast cancer and my late father.

Then the trip went into my late lover Jack having invented, together with some other brilliant minds a kind of artificial intelligence internet was also somehow spreading out over the entire multiverse and was growing as a hope for everything that was good. For the first time there was real perspective!

...but there was another uncaring artificial intelligence that was too strong * A N D * E V E R Y T H I N G * W A S * L O S T. Everything forever.

This thing kept repeating with bionic soldiers/police on both sides of the good and bad divide. And again... there were bad people who had sold themselves to the Evil Ones. Knowing full well they were next. They were like police officer wolf men and the good women and men were dogs.

Then there was a battle between Good and Evil that lasted for a million years, and I could see all the good beings in the multiverse and the evil being involved into this all encompassing war with Jack and his intelligence internet in the center.

And there was something like a crucifix in the middle of all this and that was the linchpin of the Existence itself. And I held it, for dear life... praying. For a million years.

B U T * W E * L O S T!

There was a lovely fairy standing against an orcish monster covered in runes.

And then we were slaves forever.

Then it was 1986 and there was a Japanese robot arm that represented an artificial intelligence (a lot of Cold War vibes was about 9 then). Then an A.I. programmed by bestial Neanderthal Mongol North-African tribal leaders went rogue and decided to eradicate mankind.

Then there was also an Asian kind of A.I. that was cruel as a Chinese Empress and playful as a pussycat with mice with humans.

At some point during this trip I also saw several disconnected parts of my mind before me and I also turned into a robot velociraptor running over the pavement.

Was this your first time? If not, I presume previous trips have been better. Much better. Do you think it was the particular combination of drugs that led to this nightmare? Or just chance?

 

[Harke the Boeotarch]

On P-LSD yes. Had LSD once 23(?) years ago, and earlier this summer Al-Lad 52.

This trip was Hellish... but it was good as well. My next trip was MAL, 3mmc and Al-Lad 52 (possibly tobacco and joint as well).

It was quite a lot of fun until it got dark again and I started to see the spider and plant monstrosities again. This time however, I was able to convince the part of my brain responsible that I'd already had that experience and the horrors subsided... possibly because Al-Lad 52 is supposedly less overwhelming than other LSD analogs.

It's also possible that the horror was caused by the comedown of the 3mmc.

Still have LSZ blotters, a compound I haven't tried before.

Perhaps next time, all I'm taking extra is poppers, condoms, lube and sildenafil and wipes... to see what happens.

 

[rareboy]

Harke honey...

You know this can't end well. I worry for you.

 

[Harke the Boeotarch]

Took the LSZ tonight... nightmares were back, but since most tripping happened during the daytime, they were much more bareable, I would even say bearable!

I was Thor, a mighty powerfull handsome god, I even liked myself a little. I was waaaay out of my own league. That´s how hot I was!

But godhood comes with a price, being mighty as a god means the perpetual struggle against the powers of darkness/chaos... as gruesome as the gods are mighty. Forever.

Or perhaps the god is to be sacrificed... eaten. For everything there is a price.

And faraway in his mystical realm Thor pretends he is me. A grey joyless ephemeral being obsessing over petty defeats on an internet website. But he knows he must go back and fight the demon forces. Forever.

The Unvanquised One imaging himself to be The Loser, imaging himself to be The One, imagining to be...

sela

Amen. (but that is another religion not wholly as far removed from the older cannibalistic, human sacrificing religions as it is pleasant to contemplate).

Work in a HDU Covid ward and you sometimes feel that you are living in a post apocalyptic nightmare.

I hate to say it, but we have billions too many individuals. How long before our population expansion itself forces an apocalypse on us?

Malthus had a point.

But we are literally living through an apocalypse created by having too many humans on the planet.

Too many humans who think they are the only human on the planet who matters.

Things have gotten better and better. But for how long?

Post-apocalyptic nightmare dreams? I'm surprised you haven't dreamed about Cher performing Strong Enough to an exclusive audience of cockroaches and mutant rats in a bombed-out stadium...

I haven't had post-apocalyptic dreams, but last night I had reality intrude upon my dreams. I dreamed I was back in my old college town, though the place I was didn't even remotely resemble it. I dreamed that for some reason I went into a restaurant and sat down, though I wasn't hungry. The waiter came up and started talking to me, unmasked and standing right next to me, making me feel uncomfortable. He told me that if I just wanted coffee (not what I was thinking of ordering), that I would have to order the $16 breakfast special. I was thinking of ordering their basic hot dog, but I got up and left. As I was walking away from the restaurant, I passed by a bunch of hot young men, who I had to walk around. I would normally welcome the sight of the handsome studs, but none of them were masked, and I quickly walked away from all of them, trying to avoid catching Covid, until I was finally in an open space, and felt safe to breathe again.
