Dream Exchange
We all dream & our dreams often manifest into reality. Let us map the collective communal dream, lets find synchronisities and parallels between each individual's unconscious mind and see that there truely is no seperation.
Many have come to me recently to share their dreams. Even those who are seemingly disconnected have been recieving projections from the great eschaton. If we can compile these on a daily basis as a community, as the hopi do, perhaps we may find a deeper collective meaning to the shared dream.
I was truely inspired after hearing that three friends (between ages 20-23) all had a simultaneous first wet dream at the same time on the same night. These where the three most enlightened individuals I knew at the time and it didn't suprise me. I figure this sort of thing goes on alot but people just don't talk about it.
So lets create a stanard for dream exchange. Daily. I know you people love to share your dreams. You wake up and say "Man, I had the most wierd dream last night" every freakin night so let us come together and find the deeper meaning of the collective dream.
An effecient & easy format for posting in the dream exchange could be:

A New Paradigm Production
"Oneiros"
Oneiros is Greek for dream.
Oneirogen means to create dreams. It is used in reference to plants and plant drugs that are used throughout the world by various cultures as an agent to induce specific dream states during sleep.
The Science of the Green Dream
Some of the Oneirogens we will be discussing possess pharmacologically active compounds that have a direct action on the brain when ingested.
While many of the botanicals have been classified as having no pharmacologically active compounds this may be a result of narrow minded botalchemists who believed that natures most powerful components existed in the form of Alkaloids. We have since learned that there are a wide range of chemical classes that are capable of neuromimmeticism. These plants do not produce complex neurotransmitters simply as a defence mechanism, with that logic we can say that the human brain produces bitter tasting transmitters simply to ward off potential canibals from eating their brains.. thats rediculis dan. These plants have been creating neurotransmitters on earth for longer than man. Perhaps our intellegent allies where the origin of dreaming. Perhaps even it was the plants who dreamed us humans into creation.
The Magic of the Green Dream
Not all of the moonlight cinemas can be credited by phytochemicals. Many cultures learn to utilize these plants for use in dream amplification/alteration via rituals, superstition & lore. From sleeping with a smelly Hops pillows to hanging mugwort above the bed, each species possesses a wealth of properties attributed by its cultural lore. Although considered superstition, having no rational connection to the alleged affects, one may percieve its ability to influence the dreams of man as a result of collective intent through ages of magico-religious use or by acting in the same manner as a north american indian dream catcher.
