Had a dream last night that felt like some sort of schizophrenic episode or something

They can talk for you and they can talk to you. The mushroom is a teacher. The things that you see, hear, and say during a trip can be things that have never crossed your mind before. That is why some believe that religion and language were inspired by mushrooms.

A trip is meant to be a temporary state and to have a purpose and meaning behind it, whether that be personal or religious. You must have a real purpose for consuming the substance. Do the proper preparations (planning, meditation, set and setting, calming music), eat the amount that you feel comfortable with, learn from the experience and then apply that new knowledge into your everyday life. Do not mix the mushroom with any other substance (including cannabis), or expose yourself to the substance regularly.

Use what you learn from the mushroom trip itself to manage your anxiety- do not turn to the mushroom as a way of relieving your anxiety or during a period of high anxiety. Take control of your anxious thoughts and feelings. Change the things in your life that are causing the anxiety. Relax your mind through meditation and breath. Eat and sleep well. Surround yourself with positive and loving people. Fill your head with positivite thoughts. Remember, the mushroom does not relieve anxiety after a trip. It is YOU that relieves anxiety after a trip. And it is then up to you to maintain that relief.
