Every night, we go to sleep. This experience repeats so often that it’s become routine. Yet, we don’t know where we spend those 6–8 hours.

“Where? In bed!” the materialist would say. If asked about dreams, he’d scoff, “Trash, gibberish, nonsense.” He can’t explain this strange experience. A third of his life seemingly wasted.

My view on dreams changed after ​my ayahuasca ceremonies​. On a physical level, not just mentally, I understood: “There is another reality.” It was magnificent and terrifying. I can’t deny or forget it.

Despite the fantastical form, what I experienced there had deep meaning. It was personally addressed to me. As a result, I changed significantly. This process has continued for seven years now.

Dreams are like a light version of a psychedelic experience. Unpredictable plots, bizarre characters, sincere emotions. Dreams give insights if we want and know how to take them.

I treasure a few dreams. They shook me to my core. In Christianity, there’s a concept of grace — a gift purely from God’s mercy, which one doesn’t earn.

It’s ironic that I find treasures not in thick books or wise people’s advice, but in ordinary dreams available to everyone each night.

Everything we need, we already have.

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander
