I’ve never had a dream about my neighbour until last night , in my dream she fell over causing herself to become paralysed.

I told my parents over breakfast and we laughed at how preposterous it sounded until a couple hours later my neighbour called my mum to say she had fallen in the kitchen and needed help.

I’m trying to resist interpreting this as some mystical fortune telling dream and knowing the character of my neighbour I can work out what part of my shadow might be projected onto her and what the paralysing means.

My question is more on the synchronicity , does it imply somehow that I need to pay extra attention to the contents and interpretation of this dream?

Hi All!

I have a question re the relationship between psilocybin and alcohol consummation…..but it’s slightly different.

Essentially I don’t want to stop drinking.

I know that sounds shocking but let me provide some context , before Covid like most mid 20s male in the UK my social life revolved around binge drinking on the weekend, habits that begin when I was 17 and solidified over uni. It was very rare to meet my mates on a weekend without getting trashed, ofc that all changed over Covid and it was thro the grace of the lockdown that my relationship to alcohol drastically changed.

It was during lockdown I discovered it wasn’t so much the alcohol I missed it was meeting my mates on a Saturday , watching the football and having a few pints. As lockdown lifted I threw myself back into the pubs but waking up with a hangover on a Sunday felt like shit especially after having experienced how life can be when the pubs were shut , that coupled with the fact that everyone matured a bit , settled down and focused on their careers etc meant I was going out less anyways.

Nowadays I drink considerably less , maybe once every 6-7 weeks but when I do I’ll admit it’s a binge….i realise how shit i feel the next day and I’m able to nip it in the bud for another 6-7 weeks.

I’m ok with this pattern for now and tbf during the times I am drinking in the pub I enjoy it when I’m with my mates.

What scares me are the reports here where people have MD’d and it’s completely altered their perception to alcohol to the point where it makes them feel sick if they have a couple glasses etc, I completely see how overall net that would be a positive thing for my health but it would alienate me from some of my long term friends I’ve known since I was a teenager.

To give you an idea I have a stag do (bachelor party for the Americans amongst us) and multiple weddings this summer , to not be drinking at them would feel as if I would be loose a massive competent of social bonding that it so entrenched in uk culture.

When I started this MD’d journey I thought of it as almost a productivity hack , better focus , elevated mood etc , I guess I just wasn’t prepared for the deeper introspective thoughts.

Would love to hear if anybody has went through the same situation.

Thanks :)
