First, an experience with calea zacatechici from last night:

I drank two tall glasses of iced tea. I find the iced tea to be much more tolerable to drink, even borderline refreshing. I chugged them down, smoked a bongrip of kush and finally fell asleep. I woke up rather frustrated, not remembering any dreams, but I patiently laid back until I realized I could just close my eyes and immediatley enter them. I saw the stars and all these spaceships flying by.. Onetime I noticed everytime I closed my eyes and entered "the dream" state I would still be where I was but I would hear aloud BUZZZ noise, like either an electrical current or a buzzsaw off in the distance then Id wake up to see if I left the radio on or something (since i was fully consciouse of my dreaming) and there was no sound...ten Id sleep and the buzz would come back. I assumed it was somekinda ambient current I could channel through my body. I had a dream where I took somekinda bizarre test that would cause me to journey across several plains of existance. I started out in the classroom, found a seat in the back near my buddy, he motioned me away to sit at the other end of the table. I then noticed all the tests were different mine said " a test of biology" but others said "chemistry" "history" "algebra" etc.
The teacher told us to wait before starting and 5 minutes later he said familiarize yourself with the packet. Im like "well you coulda told me that" and start reading the packet, then answering questions. I finally get to a question that has me read a story and when I read the story Im transported there. It is in central America, mexico probably about a young boy on a farm. They grew peanuts among other things and they also grew mango melons and while delicious they were the only unwanted crop.I dont remember the rest of it.
I then read another story and I was transported to an area with three other students, all girls. we were all given different books. When we opened them though we ENTERED the book. I recall entering a strange fairytale world in the woods with a creepy guy dressed shakespearean but with a mutated face, green hair, pointy fingernails, kinda like ledger's joker cept taller and more sinister. He said strange things like " Those who can see are those who will be" and "Everything is an illusion; An understanding of age". I got transported to several otherplaces including a demonic carnival.
Afterwards we were all transported somewhere else, to a bus with no seats where we were all on the floor. The books were now smaller, 1 1/2 inches tall and 1 inch wide, maybe 1/2 thick. I talked to them about my experience and they said they had the same; but different. The instructor lady told us to throw the books out the windows because she wouldnt be able to digest them, and they wouldnt shrink as easily as the rest of us.
I woke up.

Later I entered another dream where the Shakespeare-Joker came back. First I was hanging out with these two girls, eating reeses. I remember an airplane, powerlines and a cheapo hotel room. One wall dissapeared and there he was in the forest speaking nonsense again.


Conclusion:
-Not a good aid for lucid dreaming, as it is not conducive to the state and the dreams are too realistic and intense.

-AN INVALUABLE tool if you want to have dreams that rival any book or movie in their intricacy, or are a writer an need subjects.

First of all, some notes on matter in the dream world:
Matter is composed entirely differently, what is "solid" may not be completely solid afterall. Blades of grass tend to all look the same, but be angled differently. Gravitational pull and weight can be changed while mass remains the same. Physics still apply here; but they can be tweaked at will. I compare lucid dreaming best to the practice of magick in the wakeing world.


-------------------------------------------
I delved into a completely profound lucid dreaming experience on 9/9/8.
Right off the bat I knew it was a dream as I still remembered falling asleep. During the whole thing though I felt intoxicated; as if I was on a ganja food trip.
I instantaneously changed my bodily composition so I was lighter than air and started to float; as I moved through the ceiling of the room and travelled through seemingly solid matter I would feel it's vibrations all throughout my innards. It felt like a tingling, like a heebie jeebie tingle down the spine feeling, but at the core of myself on every level.
I reached the familiar "wall". As soon as I stop believing I can float I drop, if I keep believing I reach the wall. Once I hit the "wall of stars" I get catapulted along it(this has happened several times) and I can feel winds rushing past me and everything and I land at another place. This time I landed in the southern part of the northern american continent; other time however Ive landed as far away as southwestern asia. I will continue my experiments and see if I can use my theories on real world solar and orbital mechanics with dream world applications.
I experimented with summoning a person but Ive only been able to summon this person once. If I want something too much, or dont believe I "can" make it so, then I cannot make it so. I also managed to change a bag of pills to pot.
After "hacking" this dream and completely destroying the script and plot I reached a glitch, I reach glitches every so often; both in the wakeing world and the dream world.

I did my normal levitation thing but just let it "keep going" until it wouldnt go anymore. its a kind of "letting go". Usually in a dream we cling to what we feel must happen, certain "rules" but similar to letting go of a balloon full of helium I let go of my definition of reality and the whole world crumbled around me. I instantly felt like I was in some sorta wind tunnel, where I just spun and spun with space around me and I felt this wind against me. I still knew I was dreaming and wondered what was happening to my physical body to make me feel like I was spinning. I blew snot from my nose and there was ants in my mucous(in the lucid dream). I was able to make matter appear out of nowhere too.

In this glitch I felt like my whole body was spinning or in a wind tunnell of somesort like I was rolling down a nonexistant hill, and I was spinning up in the air. I was convinced I mustve been on some sorta psychedellic even before I fell asleep to do this and still felt intoxicated when I woke up.
