Withdrawal hallucinations (was: Dreams)

[Guest guest]

According to CW Leadbeater, smoking and alcohol can disrupt the etheric web

that normally keeps us from seeing unpleasant thoughtforms on the lower

astral plane. This is what happens in delirium tremens.

Perhaps it can happen as a withdrawal symptom too.

Re: Dreams

Strange you should mention bugs - I was dreaming of trying to kill a

large black bug the other night and it just would not die. Of course

I later anaylised(sp?) this :-)

I really do think my brain is going a bit screwy though - keep

thinking I see things out of corners of eyes and nothing there -

makes me wonder exactly what ciggarettes were doing to my brain,

keeping me sane :-) I just think it's a case of my brain rebelling

because I've taken one of it's drugs away - ah well I'll just look

upon it as a scientific expiriment in withdrawl.

I don't smoke cigarettes now. I just smoke cigars. I'm slowly, very slowly quitting cigars. For the last three days I've been drinking beer or whiskey. I've never drank alcohol three days in a row. Time can do alot. Inger Lorelei <inglori@...> wrote:
