Just do what relaxes you and makes you think while sober, and the mushrooms will enhance your experience as much as you let them.

Just be still..... you will know how to get deeper. There is no known method for this. It just happens, the bigger the dose the more likely you can go to this enlightening "place". There are gatekeepers along the way, dont be scared of them. You are the gatekeeper.
Alone is best. This place has a "path", and it will likely kick you in the ass several times before you get there.

yea, changes. I always have major revelations on shrooms about changing areas of my life, but it seems to make my trips hellish almost.
I wont trip again until everything in my life is at least "ok". Such as good grades and a job this summer. If I get that, then ill consider trippin.

I had the most insightful experiences when tripping alone.
Prepare yourself mentally before you trip. What are you trying to get out of it?
Pick out some good music that puts you in a nice relaxed and content state. Prepare your play list before you trip, so its all ready to go when you start your voyage.
Set up your tripping area. Dim the lights, or turn them off completely and light some candles, make yourself a nice comfy spot where you can lay down.
Make sure there are no distractions. Turn off your cellphone. Make sure there is nothing important you have to take care of the day after, or even the week after. Pressure is bad, and distracting.
-------------------- You got some great dreams, but in order to dream you have to be asleep. When are you going to wake up?

Its like finding the golden mean between emotions and logic.
The logic comes at you so fast that its as if you already knew the answer before the question. These spiritual and or life changing experiences just happen. There is no good method, though people have tried to conform to one half ass method that they read about somewhere, with interesting results.
A higher dose works best, but that just goes without saying. However some people have a really hard time getting past themselves and have a pretty hellish time throughout the trip. SO they gain little from higher doses. Its a very complex tool, and for the most part, you have to figure out mushrooms on your own.

Its really difficult to explain how motive effects the trip.
So of coarse it effects the trip. If you really have changes that you want to make, you will either find those ideas of change to be useless, or having them in the forefront of your imagination will make you think about them in a very efficiant way so that you can help make those changes if they are really valid to you...
The road to the destination of ego-loss is hard for most people. If you have a problem with yourself it will come alive during the trip especially if thats your motive, and the only way to get past it is to figure it out in some way. To be truely enlightened it does take some element of being uncontrived.
SO ya, on a high dose if you let the trip go but at the same time dont forget your issues you have, you will almost certainly have to deal with them. I would imagine simply having a motive would make this aspect of your trip very important.
I cannot just point out some track in your memory and tell you how to access it more thoroughly. I maybe could, but it would take an essay, not a simple reply. Thats why you have to understand/access the "spirit" of the mushroom on your own terms. I know how to do it for myself, but I cant even remember clearly how I do it until I take a good fat dose. When im there, I know what im doing. What I meant by the golden mean between logic and emotions was the best way to speak of this topic poignantly it in my mind. Logic does not necessarily supersede emotion, and tripping can become very emotional. You will learn how it works on your own. Although these are interesting questions to ask for a person taking mushrooms for a second time.
Metaprogramming is the writing of programs that write or manipulate other programs (or themselves). <------a pretty trippy reference to what you are trying to do.

Its problems you have that really bother you that almost automatically come to light.
I find it most interesting that even cognative dissonance has no place within the mind during a trip. It sticks out like a sore thumb. SO it can eventually unravel its self, and it is presented to you so that you can redistrubute the way those associations work within your own mind, almost naturally but with the aid of hallucinogens.
Thats why I mentioned metaprogramming.
I wish you much luck while trying to find the teacher within your own neurology. It will likely be given to you as a gift from the mushroom depths.
