Huxley, Art and Epilesy

I've found an website about Epilepsy and how the illness could have a positive impact to creativity. We all know that epilepsy comes from a disturbance of the electricity activity of the brain that causes seizures and convulsions, but the person who suffers from the disease could find themselves in an artistic divestment that they find creative interpretations of paintings and in music like no other normal person would. Andre' Gides said that epilepsy can be the key to opening certain doors for him because even though people are suffering from this illness, they could base their illness on creative thoughts and interpretations of paintings and even music unlike someone who doesn't have epilepsy. I've read that people with epilepsy sleep for long hours after their seizures and i wonder what are they dreaming about while they're sleeping. I asked my friend Tyrone, who has epilepsy and he told me that when he takes his medications and while he's sleeping, he dreams about not having epilepsy, not taking meds and he is able to drink alcoholic beverages and hang out with his friends without worrying about his illness. He said that when he comes back to his normal state from his seizures , he have a urge to write music lyrics and talks to his brother for hours and hours about life and how he wants to change as well move himself from negativity. While he was talking about his dreams, i thought about Huxley and his experience with the mescaline and Huxley 's trip while he was on mescaline. Huxley thought he was on a trip and being free from it all and I thought to myself, Well maybe my friend was dreaming of being free from his illness and taking a vacation from it .
