2. Pineal Gland: Its Physiological Functions

In this chapter, we explore the pineal gland's ability to produce DMT (dimethyltryptamine), a key substance that facilitates access to altered states of consciousness and is particularly linked to the REM sleep phase, where the most vivid and lucid dreams occur. Additionally, the pineal gland is associated with creativity, imagination, intuition, and spiritual connections, giving it both a physiological and transcendental significance.
