Last year I started experimenting with microdosing. The results were amazing, not only did I feel in an absolute state of presence and my creative being expanded, but it helped me become aware of the power the mind has over my actions and decisions.

Have you microdosed?

If you tried, what could you do consciously?
Tell me in comments!

I am a mutant.
I am in a factory, gloomy and dark. In the distance I hear chewing. I can see something similar to a spider approaching. I keep hearing teeth grinding. A ray of sunlight enters through the window and I see how dentures with spider legs are approaching me. One bites me, I feel that my body begins to transform, my teeth change to fangs and claws grow on my hands.

How much power does the outside and its experiences have over us to transform us physically and psychologically?

I dreamed that I was in my kitchen, it was morning and I was making breakfast. Suddenly I see a cockroach on my coffee cup, I shoo it away with my hand. While I was preparing my toast I see how the counter begins to fill with cockroaches. They are everywhere, there are more and more of them. I try to kill them with insecticide, and they are immune. Maybe I can crush them, I thought. But they had a shell that protected them. A voice-over tells me, the only way to get rid of them is to eat them.

Can you imagine how you would feel if you had to put a live cockroach in your mouth?

How will it feel?

I dreamed that I was in a lagoon of black water. While swimming the water begins to thicken and its color turns black. The water is so thick that I can't move anymore. Suddenly sticks begin to come out of it, they are connected by spider webs. On them are giant spiders, weaving their webs. As I watch his work, the black water begins to swallow me. Even if I swim, I can't get out of it. A spider approaches me and tells me, if you grab one of my webs you will be able to get out. The terror, the fear, the phobia. What generated rejection in me was now my way out, my salvation. I grabbed the fabric to avoid sinking into the black sea. The spider approached me and told me "what you avoid is out of fear. But even with fear, you are able to act and sustain yourself."

I'm in a city and I'm walking down a long street that seems to have no end. In the distance I see an orange cloud, suddenly I begin to see orange lights that rise to the sky and begin to form constellations. As I approach the cloud, I see glowing scorpions, creating luminous spheres that they send to the sky. Constellations form in the sky, but they are firearms, and they launch lightning bolts against the buildings of the city. Everything starts burning, buildings, people, cars, the constellations destroy everything they touch. I continue walking, I see that my sneakers shine as I go and the scorpions walk with me. I hear someone tell me, sometimes you have to destroy to create again.

How depressing it is to pay the card at the end of the month and realize that you spent on things you didn't need.

Robots and artificial intelligence rebelled against human beings and seek to exterminate the species. I'm alone in an alley and the only thing I have to defend myself is a katana. I'm tired of running and fighting. The robots are coming after me, I'm exhausted and I need to stop and rest. I look at my katana, I press my hand on the edge, to leave a trail of blood as the robots feed on it.
Blood is something vital for humans, I woke up thinking where do I put the vitality? What am I offering my blood to?

I wake up thinking about two things, changes, transitions can be painful, but they are necessary to inhabit a new territory.

I dreamed that I was at the bottom of the ocean diving. Orange eels were swimming around me, they were very bright and soft.
Suddenly they begin to coil around my body.
The eels immobilize my limbs, preventing my movement.
With little air left I thought... "I'm going to die."
I think death by drowning is one of the most traumatic ways to die. The body collapses, in silence, the lack of oxygen generates the sensation that you are inhabiting darkness. The body needs air, therefore it involuntarily generates inhalation, causing the person to swallow water. Then the body generates a cough to remove water from the lungs, but this causes more water to enter them. Little by little the lungs fill with water and they collapse. They say that then a state of calm and tranquility occurs since the brain does not have oxygen. Finally, cardiac arrest occurs. This whole process can last between one and five minutes.
Will there be a worse and more distressing death than this one?

The ship goes deep into the sea and begins to sink.
I run, I try to get out of it. I find a door through which I can leave. When I open it I see the immensity of the sea, the ship while the ship was sinking.
The boat sucks me into the depths, I swam but couldn't reach the surface.
An angel rescues me and takes me to the shore. When he leaves me he tells me "remember that when you enter the eye of the storm, everyday life and routine will be what saves you from getting lost."

I dreamed that I was in a room; Heads stuck out from the walls and spoke to me, each one told me something different and I couldn't hear my own voice. Each head had its opinion formed about my life and my decisions...
But you know what?
None of them were mine, decisions are not made with the head, nor by listening to outsiders, decisions are made with the heart.

There is an inexplicable synchronization between the movie The Wizard of Oz and Pink Floyd's album The Dark Side of the Moon. They call this event The dark side of the rainbow.
The film is from 1939, the album was released in 1973.
The origin of The dark side of the rainbow is a mystery, in 1994, a group of fans began talking about it on the web and then it spread to the radio and the collective.
The synchronization is notable, because the scenes from the film match the music on the album.
If this album is played from the third roar of the MGM lion that appears in the opening credits of the film, coincidences are observed between the rhythm of the lyrics, the thematic change of the songs and the events of the film.
The members of the group Pink Floyd have denied having been based on or being inspired by the film, as has the sound engineer, Alan Parsons.
This effect produced by the match that occurs with the two works is described as an example of synchronicity, defined by psychologist Carl Jung as, "a phenomenon in which two events appear to be related but the connection is not explained by conventional mechanisms of causality". There is also the phenomenon of apophenia, defined by psychiatrist Klaus Conrad as the experience that consists of perceiving patterns, connections or both in random events or in apparently meaningless data.
There are more than 100 coincidences, and not all of them have the same strength or are so obvious, there are many parts in which the coincidences do not seem to occur so naturally, but when the image and the sound meet, the result is wonderful. Curiously, the images are synchronized and it seems that the Pink Floyd songs are made to accompany Dorothy on her adventure to return home.

Imagine without seeing, in an alley where cockroaches abound. You are still, you can't move. They approach little by little and begin to climb your body, you feel their sticky paws running over your extremities. You want to take them off, but your arms and legs are immobile. You are alone, you don't see or move, you can only feel.
What do you feel? can you feel the disgust? the impotence?
You want to scream but you can't, your lips are stuck together.
You can only breathe, as fear takes you completely.

I dreamed that I was in a forest. The moon illuminated the sky.
While walking through the forest, I see that around my feet there were small red mushrooms. In the distance I saw a pomegranate tree looming timidly. I walk up to it and on the floor I find a fruit that tripled its original size. While I crouch down I see a green owl approaching me and perching on a branch of the tree and staring at me. When I open the grenade inside, a yellow flash comes out, it blinds me. Then the owl tells me, "You are lost and the way back home cannot be found with your eyes."

This work has as its topic the fear of rats. When thinking about how to represent it, I asked myself, what would the rat feel when it saw a zombie girl? Will the rat be afraid too? to be eaten, to have her life end, to feel pain because the girl wants to eat her and dismember her.
I think what is terrifying is in the everyday. Fear and terror appear when something seems indefinable to us and at the same time seems familiar.
If there is something that defines a person, it is their fears.
Tell me what you're afraid of and I'll tell you who you are.
