ESIS #1: Pre-study commentary

I'm going to begin something I'm calling the "excess serotonin intake study" (ESIS) tonight. I wanted to begin on Sunday, but every time a Sunday rolls around I always end up forgetting or putting it off. Unfortunately I'm gonna have to sacrifice neatness for getting the damn thing started, so it'll run from Thursday 3/30 to Wednesday 4/12.

I've been dragging my feet because I'm kind of nervous about the whole thing. This is technically not medically sound (so obligatory /do not do what I'm about to do/ for legal and safety reasons), and if I messed up my math then either this session is going to end too quickly or I could end up poisoning myself a little. Still, I made sure that every dose is well below the fatal limit for someone of my age/size/metabolism.

Actually, I'm more worried that I'll forget somehow right near the end of the study and fuck up my results. The longer I wait to write my dreams down in the morning, the less accurate it might end up- and there's every chance I could just forget to take the fluoxetine. Hell, the whole stash of it I have is from the days I forgot to take it in the morning.

As expected, I absolutely forgot to continue this about 4 days in. And then I lost the login to my account and had to replace my computer due to some keyboard damage. This is the only notes I recorded.

Doing a self survey is a bit hard. I'm going to have to ask around to see if anyone else can help me put together a more controlled experiment.

I'm probably just going to post illustrations of my dreamhubs to this blog and then link to them on my website, because trying to orient the files on neocities makes me wanna pull my hair out...

Anyway, here's a little doodle page of the Mall. from left to right and top down, we have The Red Door, A mannequin, Some random hallway in the mall that showcases the fluorescent lights, a mannequin on an escalator, and the voids outside the windows, the concrete staircase, and another scene of the mall that showcases another mannequin, a trash can, an empty shop, and the beginning of an escalator.

hi there! I think my dreams often meet the dreamworld criteria. When you say "contact me", what exactly are you looking for? Is this just a personal curiousity or do you have plans to do something with the information you're given?

It is partially personal curiosity, but for the sake of transparency: I'm looking to gather as much information about this and other similar dream phenomena on my website (with the permission of those submitting the information, of course). I'd love to hear about your experiences with lucid dreaming, even if they don't necessarily fit the criteria of the project- dreams have always fascinated me from a scientific standpoint. And if you so choose to allow it, I can include your experiences with credit or anonymously on the website.

Dreams and Delusions

Thank you to the anon who informed me that my blazed post risked triggering those with delusions about their dreams. I had not considered that to be a possibility.

Let it be known that while my project is entirely a serious inquiry, any and all comparisons made between real life and the dreamhubs/dreamworlds i describe are artistic hyperbole. I do not mean to imply that dreams are real or have any affects on the waking world. I'll do my best to be more careful from now on, and include disclaimers both in the tags of my posts as well as in the body of the post itself.

it's very odd that I saw this on my dash because I think my boyfriend experiences this. obviously I'm only going based on what he's told me, but it just seems really similar

If he has any interest in talking to me about it, I'm all ears!

(note: if you experience delusions related to dreaming, proceed with caution)

DREAMWORLDS

Have you been having strange dreams? Do you find your dreams following strict rules that you must adhere to, or suffer the consequences? Does your mind feel like another world at night?

If you've experienced up to 4 of the of the following:

Frequent lucid dreaming

Dreaming in repeat locations multiple times over the course of six months or longer

Feel like you have no control over these dreams even when you know you're dreaming

Experience nightmares, night terrors, or sleep paralysis in a regular basis

Find it easy to remember these dreams as compared to others

Have trouble staying awake, going to sleep, connecting with others, or remembering where the time's gone

Please contact me through tumblr's dm system, or send an email to [email protected]. This is an entirely serious inquiry.
