A psychedelic trip for me always has a deeper lever of emotion to the experience. A dream feels like a movie, a trip feels like the rapture just began.
When i get into deep sleep i always have very vivid and lucid dreams like i am conscious and can completely control my actions and my favorite experiences are when i can fly in my dreams, not like fly with wings but i can just superman fly and i go places that ive been before and just have an awesome time doing it. Its extremely relaxing
it is actually the opposite, the dreams are much more emotional that's why it is much harder to process it as reality, whereas a psychedelic experience is stripped away from the emotional roller-coster and gives a higher def clarity to the internal issues.
@@alarabilgici582 That may be your trusim, alara. However, labels being placed on any of this is probably not helpful. Not trying to be an a-hole here my friend - just my perspective.
I love your work by the way, Alex. You inspired me to become an artist, and I am so grateful to have stumbled onto your practice. It's beautiful and so inspiring and I think SO SO SO IMPORTANT to share with the world. Thank you for this journey and all your hard work ! It is very much appreciated 💖🙏
I've had many dreams within which I've taken psychedelics, and the feelings and experiences within these dreams have been REMARKABLY vivid and real! 🌈👁🌈
I too take them in dreams now and then and do get the effect, some really nice times. But oddly, if I try to do any other drugs in a dream, roll or smoke weed, shoot up dope or do cocaine, even drink alcohol, the circumstances of the dream alter and prevent it from happening. Like I realise the rolling paper is wax paper, or the syringe gets giant and droopy, or other things just happen that distract repeatedly. On the rare occasions I have actually smoked the joint or whatever, there has been no effect and I wake up. I can only dream the effects of psychedelics. 🌹🔥🌹
I had one dream in particular where i took mushrooms, and i was waiting for them to kick in. In the dream i found some nitrous. I took a balloon and when i breathed it in it made me become more mindful in the dream. I was specifically paying more attention to notice any difference the nitrous made. I looked up at the sky and it looked so beautiful. And everything looked ai generated. It was like a painting. It was really vivid and detailed. It looked like a literal psychedelic trip. It was so cool. The trees were glistening.
fascinating. i literally had a dream last night were i had drank ayahuasca in my dream. and then watching this today learning that this is actually a thing. the dream definitely helped integrate a prior medicine experience as well as allowing me to discuss it my current fear with the medicine man 🙏🏼 much gratitude 🙏🏼
Everything in a dream is you. Everything in our normal perception is you......who is you......if you are part of the experience being observed......the observer must be outside, beyond.
Nice! Glad to hear more people talk about this. Cannabis inhibits dreaming because THC shortens/inhibits/interrupts REM sleep cycles, where most dreaming occurs. This is also part of why folks sometimes feel sleepy/drowsy/less energetic (even if it was from the day before), and one of the reasons why it affects short term memory (we digest our day in deep sleep). When I learned this, things became so clear lol. It encouraged me to be more intentional with my state of consciousness and the reasons and frequency with which I alter it.
What is amazing is despite being visually impaired, my closed eye hallucinations are crystal clear and I saw colours I had never seen before in my life. It is a very profound experience.
Cannabis is a suppressant for dreams, it limits your astral travels. Hence why you cant remember your dreams while on it for a period of time. Takes about 1-2weeks of no use for dreams to return, we dream every night, you just dont remember, also if you wake up abruptly in the middle of your dream and feel your body vibrate(pay attention to your senses), youll feel lethargic too, that is the energy you bring back from your travels, if you force yourself to stay awake for a lil while and then go back to sleep, you can induce a lucid dream, and perhaps return to that same place you were before waking up. This is based on my experience. Its pretty fun once you get the hang of it, talk to people or entitys, they will answer your questions too. Most of all dont fear. Have fun.
i recently stopped thc and soon (over a week) after started vivid dreams. Most were not to my liking at all. I wake up and think wow that was a dream? I took a few minutes to say, thank god im safe.
When I stopped smoking weed I had a dream where I met Peter Steele and gave him a hug and then I had a wet dream the next night. Highly recommended to quit.
Great interview! I have to meet this guy some day! Such a big inspiration for my art direction in my current project. These deep discussions are truly needed at this time when so many people are waking up.
thanks, Alex and Tyler for making this. it was so much needed. felt like you helped me as an angel this time ..i have been going through the same experience. more power to you. stay safe. stay sane !
This was wonderful. I loved hearing Alex’s perspective. Personally from psychedelic experiences they’ve enhanced my dreams weeks after including astral projection and astral travel . It’s so much information just like Alex said “we don’t know shit” 🙏🙌
Hey what demon do you have a contract with from what I understand hearing it from someone who was deep into witchcraft the white cord is exactly that a contract and that's how someone gains the ability to astral travel outside of your body and on top of that you need to vibrate to loosen the fetters that tie your soul to your body
I practice a combo of dream yoga and toltec dreaming. There are different levels or realms of dream activity, from the level of personal projection to collective interaction to cosmic participation.
"Dreaming is the main function of the mind, and the mind dreams twenty-four hours a day. It dreams when the brain is awake, and it also dreams when the brain is asleep. The difference is that when the brain is awake, there is a material frame that makes us perceive things in a linear way. When we go to sleep we do not have the frame, and the dream has the tendency to change constantly." - Don Miguel Ruiz 👁You're Dreaming👁
First time I've listened to Alex speaking, great talk and super nice guy. I still remember the first time I saw one of his posters years ago, an immediate fave artist. ✨🌹👁🌹✨ ⚡
Alex you n Allyson are wonderful folks yall are truly my favorite love story more way more so than Romeo n Juliet you guys are my double A connection that helped wake me from my death slumber thank you both🙏 I truly commend you two😘
Wooow Alex just made me remember I had a psychedelic experience inside a dream as well.. It kinda involved the night sky and the cosmos. Dont remember it well but it was amazing.
I have had 2 dreams where I haven taken lsd and I had full on trips within my dreams. There’s a very cool connection between these realms. Considering they’re not the same one. I always like to put myself to into a sleep dream state when taking psychs always have the best experiences that way. Great vid!
i used to have trippy fantastic dreams, with impossible sci-fi/fantasy stuff happening. But since becoming a Daddy (now twice over) my dreams have been very mundane: working in some office, going to shops, chatting with friends...everyday stuff. Psychedelic trips are something entirely different. I don't think dreams and trips are remotely related.
Recently I saw a few frames from an aussie movie called "Overboard". I didn't watch it because it was close to beddie-by. that night I dreamed many scenes from the movie. They were pretty convincing. When doing LSD many years ago it was a completely different experience than my dream state. I was completely aware that the drug was affecting my vision. It was making my normal vision distorted. It was a shell over my day-to-day that I knew was creating the vision, sound, texture and taste distortion. Where as, my dream was more immersive. I was surrounded by a dark edgeless enviornment that undulated like floating down a stream at night. Although, your paintings are very nice they are not at all like my dreams and not at all like my trips.The effect of the drug created an overlying web sort of like the web covering your paintings. but they were 3 fold, moving undulating pulsing and neon.
As a lucid dreamer (quite proficient in the past, way less now due to work, stress and so forth) before and a psychedelic user now, I can say a few things that differenciated both: - Fractal patterns and geometry: that's absolutely new and stunning for me in psychedelics, nothing of this happened in any of my dreams before. In dreams where I toke some shrooms, the patterns and eventually the mandalic geometries where simplistic and a bit "off", like a crappy AI redo. Dreams after a psychedelic experience may contains some more advanced geometry for me. I know a person that suffer from bipolar disorder that see some geometric patterns in hypnagogia btw - Speed: dreams can be fast, fast moving objects, driving fast car out of control, fast danger coming to you. Psychedelic experience (at least shrooms, ayahuasca [just tried once and it was not a potent brew] and Salvia) is alway at a different pace, maybe fast in trasforming or in bad tough loops, but you don't have the fast enemy that is running to you, at leasy I just don't have that anxiety. - Sense of novelty: dreams seems to re-combine known elements with slight variations, while psychelics, beside geometries, can get me throught visionary states that are both dreamlike, dreamlike but with completely new objects/entities quite far from anything I can normally imagine, or visions embedded in geometry which by far are the most undream-like. In a certain sense, dreams communicate with a novel combination of known sentences, while in some psychedelic experiences even new letters and alphabets are formed. Hypnagogia sometimes can be weird, but too short acting to notice. - rules: in dreams there are rules that you can exploit for archieving lucidity, simple objects with things that can be counted almost always transforms in different numbers, like every time you see your hand you will have a different number of fingers, electronic stuff won't work except if it is plot-embedded within the dream, shadows are kinda of "pre rendered" and not Dynamic, gravity is not really there, and if you spin you will change the dream scene (never tried on something tho). Psychedelic experiences rules are everchanging, asking for things to happen weirdely works for both of the experiences. - paranormal stuff: I've experienced many times some weird telepathic stuff while dreaming, but surely can't put that on a scientific statistic. Maybe I'm still new to entheogens, but I didn't have something like that - dosage: well, the sams for both. Few sleep hours mostly results in mundane dreams, as low dosages of psychedelic are maybe psychological useful but won't send you to some extra ordinary places. Hope that this boring list can be interesting for you and that some other dreamer-psychonaut can correct of expand it!
@ 10:04 cannabis does not impair sleep or dreams at all, I smoke weed every day and every night and I sleep just fine and dream pretty vividly. There’s 3 different forms of cannabis, sativa hybrids and indica. Indica cannabis is very helpful with inducing peaceful homeostatic sleep due to the intrinsic.endocannabinoid system that all humans have just like a nervous system. I will never understand the urge to demonize plants at all. If you consume/smoke the wrong kind of cannabis and then can’t sleep and feel anxious…you know it’s a sativa and not indica. Can’t stress that enough.
It's kind of amazing, isn't it? We've taken it for granted, like breathing, sneezing or hiccups. We have done this for millennia, but we are still more enthralled by the material world. Perhaps that is property that both psychedelics and dreams share: they reveal our entire selves, to ourselves, and that can be terrifying, but also freeing and rewarding.
im tired of waiting we need some psychedelic research breakthroughs, were just wasting our time on this planet until psychs become a universal thing for society
I feel the same way, I think lol. I always say that the life we live 99% of the time is just a side quest to the real purpose. (In my opinion) We gotta get everyone on the same page so we can take that first leap into 4th density. Clearly Psychedelics have some sort of a "telepathic" nature to them, let's get on board and become the social memory complex we evolved to become. TM used to always talk about how we're gambling with the highest stakes ever. We could either blow ourselves up and ruin the planet along with everything humanity has become up to this point, or win big and break through to the next level. It's all riding on the turn of a card
Wow! Thinking about the divine beings who make contact with us throughout our days and nights. I wonder what messages cannabis is working to deliver, since it is really sweeping across the states and the world as a less taboo thing to partake in, and also if there is a piece of that block that is very intentional from the plants on an energetic perspective? Great fuel for thought. Thanks for sharing!
Cannabis is about temperament, viscerality, individuality, personage, sagehood, psychodynamics, personality and character, the human condition, intimacy, gastronomic delectability, sense experience, vitality and life-force, healing, health and disease, imagination, fancifulness, asceticism, ordeal, eremitism, duality, plants and herbs, etc. Its 'messaging' is pretty much defined by its implicit universal archetypes. Many people don't pick up on these though because firstly; they seem to seldom ever ingest it in edible form these days and secondly, unlike with stronger psychedelics; these underlying themes appear to be almost, if not entirely subconscious and "below the surface level" of conscious awareness or detection.
@@Ryan88881 I think those things are becoming more and more clear to cannabis users. I’d say another big theme cannabis shares is actually around awareness into the subtle energies, and how easy they are to both ignore and amplify - especially after years of using it unintentionally and learning how to be more intentional. It’s a great portal into ritual, into the body and spirit and out of the mind. Cheers, thanks for replying here and giving me a great way to wake up today!
In many ways they're actually almost opposites and dreaming tends to have much more in common with dissociatives and deliriants than with psychedelics frankly. Dreams lack that kind of psychedelic coherency and crispness and realness. Dreams if anything, feel less real and below baseline waking consciousness in terms of ontological verity, whereas serotonergic psychedelics feel pretty well above baseline and *more* real than even baseline waking reality. Now I have had dreams where I've taken a psychedelic before (LSD & Ayahuasca separately), but that's a highly unique and anamolous example. Also I would wager cannabis's rather interesting and somewhat enigmatic relationship with dreaming has to do with cannabis's dissociative qualities, not its psychedelic qualities.
Also don’t forget, humans are not the only species that loves to get high and also expand their spiritual mental reality. Leopards monkeys elephants get drunk list goes on.
Do you smoke weed at the same time as you take LSD when you are creating artwork? I am also a psychedelic artist, and I am looking for tips as to how to best trip and create and make the most out of the experience. I generally like to smoke a little bit of weed as I am coming up on my acid and then again when I am coming down towards the end... What do you think ? Got any tips on recommended doses ? Timing ? Rituals to best prepare for creation to happen and calm the mind to enter a meditative state ? What works best for you ? (and any other visionary / psychedelic artists out there, feel free to answer too !! Any advice is very welcome :D as I am mentally and spiritually preparing myself for when I will start my next artwork in a few days from now) Love and blessings, 🙏🙏💗💓❤🔥💓💗🙏🙏
according to dan winter, if we rely on psychedelics vs natural lucid dreaming we will not have the skill to enter the black hold at death, practice lucid dreaming and limit psychedelics as they are not our skill, we are made to ascend, many many mind blowing vids by visionary dan winter out there, also his fountain of youth/bliss etc theraphi.net

It’s all about set and setting and intention and which psychedelic substance is suited for lucid or euphoric dreaming.
I too take them in dreams now and then and do get the effect, some really nice times. But oddly, if I try to do any other drugs in a dream, roll or smoke weed, shoot up dope or do cocaine, even drink alcohol, the circumstances of the dream alter and prevent it from happening.

Dreams and psychedelics are an unknown realm in our cranium that is there but rarely explored or taken into account in our personal day to day lives.
It's kind of amazing, isn't it? We've taken it for granted, like breathing, sneezing or hiccups. We have done this for millennia, but we are still more enthralled by the material world.
Perhaps that is property that both psychedelics and dreams share: they reveal our entire selves, to ourselves, and that can be terrifying, but also freeing and rewarding.
(and perhaps that is why we rarely speak of our dreams, because they are our intimate selves)
Hey Alex had a neat dream about your art 🖼 and wanted to know would you be able to make an art piece about the dangers of tobacco smoking 🚬

I am also a psychedelic artist, and I am looking for tips as to how to best trip and create and make the most out of the experience. I generally like to smoke a little bit of weed as I am coming up on my acid and then again when I am coming down towards the end... What do you think ?
Got any tips on recommended doses ? Timing ? Rituals to best prepare for creation to happen and calm the mind to enter a meditative state ?
What works best for you ?
(and any other visionary / psychedelic artists out there, feel free to answer too !! Any advice is very welcome :D as I am mentally and spiritually preparing myself for when I will start my next artwork in a few days from now)
Love and blessings,
🙏🙏💗💓❤🔥💓💗🙏🙏

Why are magic mushrooms illegal? 🍄 They are an amazing tool everyone should be allowed access to.
Economy collapse
@@mobleyMobley 🤔 that happens without mushrooms. 🤷♂️ It's happening right now!
@@depro9 will happen even more
@@mobleyMobley nonsense!
@@depro9 then why are they illegal?
You can save a lot of psychedelics and take a significant smaller dose when you do it while looking at artwork of Alex Grey.
09:42 i NEED to know what this MEGA dose is you are talking about
@anteyefolkz7777 DMT is the best psychedelic experience but over 70mg can be unpleasant

according to dan winter, if we rely on psychedelics vs natural lucid dreaming we will not have the skill to enter the black hold at death, practice lucid dreaming and limit psychedelics as they are not our skill, we are made to ascend, many many mind blowing vids by visionary dan winter out there, also his fountain of youth/bliss etc theraphi.net
Who is watching during Covid? ✋
I think there is too much money in the war on drugs, too much control of the people and too much politics. Especially when it comes to psychedelics
Listening to Alex grey is like listening to the pope... but for hallucinogens lol he IS mushroom Jesus 🍄
