This reminds me very much of the Australian Aborigines' concept of Dreamtime.
It is not (necessarily) drug-induced; any time you are dreaming you are in
another reality which they regard as superior (i.e. more real) that this
waking reality. The things you do in the Dreamtime have more meaning, in
some cosmic, absolute way, than the things you do while awake. Certainly
(they believe), conversations between two+ persons' "true selves" can take
place in the Dreamtime.
