Book Description: Ketamine: Dreams and Realities is a non-biased and comprehensive overview of the drug ketamine. It covers everything from its recreational use in the dance community, its use as an adjunct to psychotherapy as an aid in overcoming chemical dependency and alcoholism, to the types of mystical experiences induced by ketamine. This book includes information on the possible benfits and dangers of ketamine use along with an authoratative treatment plan for individuals who become addicted to the drug. It is wealth of information for both laypersons and medical professionals alike.
Excellent resource for those of us who are serious about alternative paths to a higher mind. Not too technical, smooth read. Informative.
Informative & well written I really enjoyed this book, and the way it seemed comfortable with multiple positions on Ketamine use. I think K can be all the things it described, though I agree the NBE stuff is far-fetched. However there is an account which says something along the lines of, I can see why people may attribute their visions to a higher power, though I personally do not speak to aliens on K. I figure, if some people want to see themselves reliving birth, again, I can see how Ketamine allows them to do that, but personally I have better stuff to imagine.
The author seems careful to group the experiences so each chapter presents a viewpoint, but the chapters may disagree with each other (ie K bad and frightening, K good and enlightening). Lots of first hand accounts combined with scientific analysis make it easy to understand and entertaining to read.
Isolation tanks are us a work of real substance about a strange substance, indeed. Ever since the pioneering research of John Lilly we have asked ourselves, what in the world gave way to this highly interesting drug.
The fact that MAPS is the publisher should tell you that this is no joke. The material is dealt with in a respectful, objective tone but also in a manner that proves a joy to read.
A subject of this magnitude needed a book this size that packs a a lot of punch.
Remarkable...well worth the read.
On a clear day, you can see forever In this well written book the author shares his thoughts on his experiences with Ketamine and it's re-creation of the "near birth experience". The concept of the NBE is a stretch, but it is provocative. The second half of the book consists of horror stories of Ketamine addiction. I'm not sure if one can have it both ways.
Excellent Comprehensive review of Ketamine's use and effects. A fascinating look at this wondrous molecule.
