Lol well I don't know so much about you guys being goddamn hippies, but what you describe sounds a lot like what happens to me before I go completely manic/insane and really just lose touch with reality. Or even hypomanic sometimes. It's like the information is coming in too fast. Also the whole vivid dream nightmares I have been having everyday now for about 2 weeks. And all of my dreams are very vivid and usually lucid. And to Kaka I get that too. It's kinda like a day-dream but it feels too real to be a dream, and then I just suddenly snap out of it. My mind plays too many tricks on me.
