Chapter 8. The Making of a Seiðman 205<br />

but several mushroom books, studied the chemical makeup of the mushroom, read<br />

numerous reports of amatoxic poisonings, and concluded the hallucination to be<br />

not only wrong but dangerous. Fortunately, as far as I knew, the mushroom was<br />

extremely rare around these parts so while I continued to have the dreams and<br />

basically ignored what they had to say. The second ghost/hallucination which came<br />

was that of a huge flower that seemed to grow and some high mountainous region of<br />

South America. In my mind this was very fortunate because this particular ghost<br />

was not very nice. In fact, he was very threatening, warrior like: all business and<br />

dangerous to deal with. This ghost was quite different from the Fly Agaric, who<br />

was a rather friendly, funny, elflike creature. The ghost of the flower seemed to be<br />

more like an evil demon something like a Catholic devil type creature never to be<br />

trusted. My life went on in an unpredictable fashion and I would encounter both of<br />

these ghosts again.<br />

The plant ghosts described above haunted me through the winter of 1991. There<br />

was a change my disease, however, by March of 1991 and the hallucinations became<br />

much more intense. By this time I had tried and failed with the second round of<br />

antibiotics. The ghosts began to arrive in small groups. These, different from the<br />

plant ghosts, began to take me places, nasty, dark places, in my dreaming. Also<br />

differently, these ghosts began to dismantle my body by ripping, slashing, tearing,<br />

and cutting. Through the spring of 1991 I was torn apart several times, had holes<br />

torn in various parts of my body, had appendages removed through not-so-surgical<br />

procedures, and in general, I was battered, bruised, and beaten severely. My sleep<br />

world had become a dungeon of horrors. Physically, I was required to sleep in a<br />

sitting position only because lying down would result in spasmodic coughing which<br />

could not be stopped. The pleurisy had developed to a point where I had to wrap<br />

my chest tightly with an ace bandage just to breathe. I hated to go to sleep because<br />

of the dreams but I had no choice because my body would not stay awake.<br />

Through the spring my life consisted of pain and nightmares. Physically, I was<br />

never comfortable. Mentally, I was ravaged. At one point, birds of prey came and<br />

ripped open the top of my head just let the wind pass through from the top of my<br />

head out through my anus. The pain was immense and unbearable. Another time,<br />

I was wandering through some underground caves, was snatched up by a giant of a<br />

man, had my head torn from my body, and my body was slowly cut with giant razor<br />

blades into hundreds of pieces like human stew meat. Each cut burned. The parts<br />

of my body were thrown into three large stewpots with boiling water that looked as<br />

if it had been dredged up from the bottom of a swamp. The water burned my skin<br />

somewhere way beyond 3rd degree burns. My bones, when the flesh had fallen away<br />

to the bottom of the sewage pot, were dredged up and beaten on an anvil with a<br />

huge sledgehammer until they were little more than powdery sludge. Each ring of
