So here’s an interesting twist that I didn’t really expect but it’s the second time it’s happened now. Recently I had a small binge where I well I’ll just say it where I ingested ketamine for a trip instead of just my usual stuff. Once before I discovered that ketamine changed my brain slightly and that from that day on I was actually able to recall More lyrics to songs more more words and tunes to songs that I previously didn’t have it’s a skill that surprised me music is almost always playing in my head when I’m not thinking and that’s you know it’s either music or thoughts but the music that I’ve been thinking in the past has always been fairly basic no lyrics not not really the tunes themselves more either something I just heard on the radio before or jingles which seem to stick in my head TV theme songs things like that.

One day after using ketamine this was a few years back I discovered that my ability to recall the exact melodies end tunes of music popular culture music and music from the ’70s and ’80s had really increased and that I was coming up with lyrics to songs but you know weren’t even my favorite songs. it was a skill closer to what I saw other people able to do to sing along with songs and even when they’re not playing to sing along or how long or play it in my head.

I didn’t think too much about it at the time but it definitely was noticeable and it’s it’s been a thought in my head for many years.

So after this recent binge which just happened last 2 weeks I discovered yet again a new improvement in my brain. This one’s a little different. I now seem able to recall my dreams even when I go to bed high. Now this is significant if you understand first of all that I don’t usually remember my dreams when I go to bed high. If I’m going to binge of using marijuana or in this case Crystal meth, I tend to not remember those dreams and that could go on for weeks if the binge does or in the case of meth which I use fairly regularly now I cannot remember my dreams for quite some time.

I want to point out that I’m pretty good at remembering my dreams. I started training when I was about 9 years old with notepads beside the beds and retelling the stories as often as I could because my theory has always been that you remember stories better than things that happened so the faster you can turn activities or in this case dreams into stories the more likely you are to remember them. That’s kind of why I think people in partnerships or you know not living alone tend to have better stories because they come home from work or you know whenever they get together they share the stories of the day and they become stories so you remember them.

So it’s pretty significant to me to remember my dreams and the dreams that I have when I go to bed hi are often pretty elaborate and I’ll complex but interesting so the ability that I have seem to have acquired and assume we’ll stay with me to remember my dreams even when I’m on a drug binge is quite beneficial.

I’ll do my best not to use it as an excuse to binge on ketamine more often but it is an interesting twist to a drug which is definitely more mental than anything else I’ve I’ve tried including the time I took way too much psilocybin.

I recited this blog into my phone while I was filming and paid more attention to the visuals of my speech so it probably doesn’t make a very well worded blog. I didn’t break my paragraphs in the right place or anything else but I’m not going to edit it. It gets the point across.
