Brain waves. Alpha waves (8 to 12 Hz) are present when your brain is in an idling default-state typically created when you're daydreaming or consciously practicing mindfulness or meditation. Alpha waves can also be created by doing aerobic exercise. Beta waves (12-30 Hz) typically dominate our normal waking states of consciousness and occur when attention is directed towards cognitive and other tasks. Beta is a ‘fast’ wave activity that is present when we are alert, attentive, focused, and engaged in problem solving or decision making. Depression and anxiety have also been linked to beta waves because they can lead to "rut-like" thinking patterns. Gamma waves (25 to 100 Hz) typically hover around 40 Hz and are the fastest of the brain wave bandwiths. Gamma waves relate to simultaneous processing of information from different brain areas and have been associated with higher states of conscious perception.

First of all, no need to apologize for your English. It's fine. Regarding the dream, it must've been very scary. Maybe you had it because you are going through stress... What do you think you had this dream? What do you think is its meaning? I think you were in alpha state. -
I agree with @JohnnyBravo From my experience, pickup theory can do more harm than good.

Take classees at a yoga studio, and make friends there.

This forum is turning into a huge circle-jerk... -

Good luck with that approach... -

Simple: people who have a history of mental illness should not take psychedelics... -
Very good question. My two cents: - Be in a good emotional state in your life - Have a good support network - Find ways to release tension in your body (through yoga, massage etc) - Fulfill medium-level needs on the Maslow hierarchy - Psychotherapy - Use psychedelics responsibly (not recommended for everyone) - Don’t get neurotic on having “profound” insights. The more you seek them, the harder it is to have them.

1g should be good enough for your firsr trip. You should do it when you are in a good emotional states, otherwise it can be a pretty bad trip. If you decide to use it with a friend, you both should remain silent during the trip. And if you have a history of psychosis, psychedelics are not recommended. good luck! -
I don't think this will relationship will work. It's very emotionally laborious to deal with someone who is neurotic.

Right lol It’s ok to take a break. It’s actually quite beneficial in my opinion. One thing you could do is attend a Vipassana retreat. -
Therapy and/or psychedelics (not recommended for everyone). Or simply google your question
-
oooh lol

Because you don't like to do those things. Ta-da! lol Of course not. Spiritual people think meditation is the cure for all life's problems... ?♂️ One thing that can help doing school assignments is to do it with friends. Remember the old Roman motto "Union is strength" -
Cool images. This practice doesn't seem very healthy. What's the problem with drinking water?

haha Well, in some cases extreme boredom is caused by depression. Nothing in life seems interesting. Another reason is that our culture has become overstimulated. We're always seeking a quick fix. (There's no need to become a monk, though. Find the middle path instead.) Ponder this: the obsessive desire for more stimulation is just a symptom. There are underlying causes for that. -

?♂️ Sleep deprivation produces a “high” that mascarades as awakening, but truth is, it leads sooner or later to dangerous consequences.
