Good, now how about "Totem & Taboo"?

Which had more psychedelia? your waking life or the dreams? (I can't tell from your post.) It's interesting that Andy, on the other hand, thinks that the process goes the other way around, that his nightmares disturb him during the day (anxiety about 'what does that MEAN?') And what you're saying is that you were concerned that your waking life - waking horror (anxiety/depression/ bipolar as I remember, with a bit of alcohol thrown in just to make it interesting) - was reflected in your dreams. And that THAT was the thing that was frightening.
Or is it one and the same? I think I personally do some of both.
I haven't been dreaming much again lately, because I've been at a music festival for 4 days running, and have forgotten to take enough neurontin during the day, and am doubling up again at night. So will keep an eye on it now that things have calmed down, see if I have any insights at all on this topic...
That's one thing, too, about the meds, I feel that they 'tamp down' a lot of my creativity... And dreaming is, actually, a creative act... After all, we make dreams with our own minds, with our own inner cinematographer, etc. So when the meds "stifle" them as they do for me, what they're doing too is taking away part of my creativity...

Cheers, anyway,
Wendy
