Vivid dreams, art, toxic substances...
Abstaining from alcohol and drugs for a day or two results in vivid, creative, disturbing dreams for my roommate. Do you think this is connected to alcohol and drugs or her lack-there-of? Do any of you experience this?
On a similar note, what are your thoughts on the connection between creativity and substances...it's as if the part of the brain one plays with while abusing alcohol (and drugs) is pretty damn close to the part of the brain that produces fascinating art, music, poetry and film....How do we reconcile this? Any artists out there thinking about this too?
Thanks! Laura
