    Your Practice of Fever Dreaming

    About this ebook

    I have discovered the method inducing surreal and lifelike fever dreams in the healthy and sane dreamer.

    Dreams, the great source of pleasure, inspiration, vision, and prophesy in history,
    were instrumental to most of the major artistic and scientific discoveries of the 20th century.
    I hope that by freely spreading this method, that makes dreams accessible as never before, to initiate a great awakening of artists, scientists, technologists, industrialists and prophets in the 21st.

      YOUR PRACTICE OF FEVER DREAMING

      1. DISCOVERY

      I,

      Have made a discovery.

      [ pause ]

      I have discovered,

      How

      To induce

      [ half beat ]

      Fever dreaming

      [ half beat ]

      In a physically, and mentally healthy person.

      [ pause for three beats ]

      Fever Dreams !

      2. PHENOMINON

      What is the significance of this

      Discovery ?

      [ half beat ]

      What, are fever dreams ?

      [ pause ]

      Like normal

      Dreams,

      Fever dreams are surreal.

      [ half beat ]

      Surreality means that

      Dreams don’t follow the rules

      Of the real,

      The laws of reality,

      Which limit waking experience –

      To the possible.

      Normal dreams and fever dreams

      Exist in, and outside of the laws and limits of the possible,

      Allowing us to experience

      The impossible.

      Dreams are imagination,

      Dreams,

      Are surreal.

      [ pause three beats ]

      However,

      However,

      Unlike normal dreams,

      Unlike normal dreams,

      And like normal waking experience

      Fever dreams are vivid.

      [ half beat pause ]

      They have the quality of being life like.

      Concretely solid, precisely detailed,

      Tangible, real,

      In a way that normal dreams are not.

      [ pause three beats ]

      Now,

      Combine

      The quality of vividness

      With

      The quality of surreality –

      The quality unlimited but vague imagination

      And imagine,

      An experience of the impossible

      That is tangibly real to you.

      That

      Would be a fever dream.

      [ pause three beats ]

      We know fever dreams

      Have a third characteristic,

      Which they share with normal dreams,

      Acceptance.

      [ pause ]

      While you dream

      You will accept the dream

      As real.

      And you will accept the dream world’s fantasy, its impossibility and illogic

      Without question,

      Tacitly –

      You will attempt to adapt to it,

      As in waking you attempt to adapt to the real world.

      [ pause ]

      Upon waking,

      You will, of course, reject part or the whole of the dream

      As illogical, impossible.

      [ half beat ]

      Usually.

      The combination of the quality of vividness

      To surreality and dreaming acceptance

      In fever dreams

      Sometimes

      Results in a delusion –

      The continued acceptance of the dream’s
