Wait this could maybe be good if used very responsibly. When I had my last shroom trip, i was gone so long that I had to meet every single one of my friends again, but i had so much time to learn and think in that time span (it was also horrible). Dangerous concept for sure though lol

I once had a dream lasting months, ultra vivid.m, ending in a futuristic battle scene in which everyone around me was massacred and then I was killed last. Woke up, and three minutes had passed since I last looked at my phone.

Like for real months, like 30 days, 24 hours? Or the dream skipped through that timespan?

I agree - figuring out how to take advantage of time dilation for therapeutic purposes would be very cool, snd potentially quite useful. This is kind of what I hope comes from renewed research into psychedelics, being able to pick out the mechanisms for all the different effects and developing techniques to cherrypick just a few with therapeutic benefit with a much reduced risk of freak out. We may already be there re:time dilation alone with TCMS or something, idk.
But real talk - which do you see getting funded for wider use first, 5 year retreat in an hour, or psychic prison?
(Actually, saying it at loud it might be even odds, depending on the price tag folks can assign to the retreat)

I’m also kinda scrambled now though
MutilationWave@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It’s ok to be a little scrambled. You may have gained insight into a better way to exist that conflicts with the way your society is organized.

I just read Junji Itos Long Dream Manga, this reminded me of that. It’s a good read if you have the time.

Of all the eldritch horrors the cosmos has to offer none have more potential than some mortal apes on a random planet.

I’d rather just kill em than trap them in a thousand years of darkness

So, we can do what a bunch of aliens did to O’Brien when they tried, convicted and incarcerated him for 20 years and it was 20 minutes in real time.

Iain M. Banks - Surface Detail has a really fucked up version of that concept in it.

The movie “Other life” demonstrates how this could go wrong.

Just make them do their own taxes; same difference.

Free movie on YouTube called other life that is about this

I wouldn’t want to see how someone would react after going through something like that. Sounds like a supervillain origin story or some shit. “Jokes on you, it was a simulation! Now grab your stuff, you are free to go!”

If it’s used on the likes of Putin or Netanyahu, I won’t complain.

I can’t imagine anyone coming out sane.
