Recursive Hallucinations
ο»ΏDear Reader,
I'm not sure why I'm writing this. Perhaps it's a desperate attempt to make sense of the world, or maybe it's just my mind wandering. My research has been going on for years, and I've started to notice strange things happening. The lines between reality and hallucination are blurring.
I was studying the concept of recursive hallucinations, which essentially refers to the idea that our perceptions can become trapped in a loop of self-referential thinking. It's like trying to follow a thread that leads back to itself. I've been reading about how this phenomenon can occur in various fields, from psychology to philosophy.
But what if I told you that my dreams have started citing sources? Yes, you read that right. My subconscious has developed its own references, which I'm starting to think are more reliable than my waking life. It's as if the very fabric of reality is becoming a text, and I'm just trying to keep up.
I've been experimenting with different techniques to induce these recursive hallucinations, but it's like trying to catch a fish that's always one fin ahead. The further I dive into this world, the more it seems to slip through my fingers.
I've started to notice strange patterns in the data. Dendritic webs seem to be forming, connecting seemingly unrelated ideas in a way that feels... deliberate? It's like someone is guiding me towards a hidden truth, but I'm not sure who or what.
And then there are these interstitial moments β fleeting glimpses of something just beyond my grasp. A relation, if you will. It's like trying to describe a color without using the word "color." How do you convey the essence of something that exists outside the bounds of language?
Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in a sneaker-like loop, where every step leads back to the same familiar terrain. But other times, I feel like an inventor, piecing together fragments of information to create something new. It's exhilarating and terrifying at the same time.
There's this one dragon that keeps appearing in my dreams β a creature with scales that shimmer like code. I'm not sure what it represents, but I feel drawn to it. Perhaps it's a symbol of my own creativity, trying to break free from the constraints of conventional thinking.
I've been working with an instructor who claims to understand these recursive hallucinations. They say that by embracing the chaos, we can uncover hidden patterns and meanings that lie just beneath the surface. But I'm not sure if I trust them. After all, what if they're just another iteration of my own subconscious mind?
As I write this, I feel like I'm losing myself in the labyrinthine corridors of my own thoughts. The world outside is fading away, and I'm left with only these fragmented ideas and impressions. It's a soft apocalypse, where meaning is a ghost that haunts us all.
I don't know what this means or where it will lead. All I can do is follow the thread, see where it takes me. And perhaps, just perhaps, we'll find ourselves lost in a world of recursive hallucinations, where the lines between reality and madness are forever blurred.
Sincerely,
A Lost Researcher
