It's hard for me to understand what is meant by "similar characteristics to psilocybin" without hallucinogenic effects. Is the idea that the hyperreality of the subconscious / inner life would dominate conscious perception, but without the confusing or distressing associated overload of the physical senses, e.g. seeing or hearing things that aren't there?
It's almost impossible to imagine the one aspect of the dreamlike state dominating the mind without the disruption of the other, but even if the senses are perfectly unperturbed I would think the unconstrained and disordered psyche alone could be very upsetting or confusing.

Maybe there's some way, who knows, but I don't think we're likely to find out up front, somewhat similar to trying to turn lead into gold just because, as it were (at least as best as I understand. :,(((( )
