The author lived in Mexico's rain forest among the
Lacandon Indians. Dreams play an important role in the
daily lives of this tribe. They believe that during, sleep
the body and consciousness become inactive but the soul
gets out of the heart, where it lives, and sails into the in-
visible world of the night. The dream is actually what the
soul perceives. The soul can take the form of the
individual's animal spirit and launch itself into timeless
travel in the world of souls. It can thus perceive the es-
sence of things. Things about which we dream are in the
vicinity of the dreamer. When, for instance, a cigar ap-
pears in the dream, this indicates that a snake will be
coming because the soul of a lurking snake appears in the
invisible world as a cigar. Lacandons meet every morning
and relate their dreams in order to divert, with the help
of gods, the threatening dangers. Also, when a dream is
forgotten it means that the soul did not return to the
heart, and the individual may become sick. The author's
dreams during his stay with the Lacandons often had a
predictive value in agreement with the tribe's beliefs. He
has learned to trust his dreams. The hallucinogenic plants
Ololuiqui, peyote, thorn-apple (Datura), teonanacatl mush-
room, and Salvia divinorum are described. The article
he or she is staring at
reflected and puts the
scle tickling or twitching,
ends with a Lacandonian prophecy, which the author
thinks applies to all of us, announcing that an end to the
world will come and that the earth will become empty. -
