I feel it is impossible to describe an ayahuasca experience. It resonated with this. The depth of thought is infinitely human.

Thank you.

Thank you, yeah, it's probably in the same ballpark!

The part where you say that you had lucid dreams with telepathic communication that was impossible to put into words reminds me of something in my own experience, though it's not quite the same thing. Sometimes, I partly remember dreams, but what I remember about them seems ineffable. It's not that what was going on was particularly extraordinary (as far as I can tell), it's just that I can't remember it properly. But I still can remember something, it's just impossible to verbalise properly. If I try, it's always something like "I was in some place and there were some people and we were doing something." I feel like I remember more than that of the details, but I'm not able to articulate it.

Thanks for sharing! I very much relate. I guess the main difference here is that "I was in some place and there were some people and we were doing something" is still somewhat concrete since you're able to say that much! But then there are those dream experiences like telepathic communication, or something even more abstract that I'm simply uable to describe using words, or images, or sounds, or anything whatsoever.
