  1. Yes.
  2. Yes.
  3. No.

I think the process of deep introspection and working with hallucinogens can result in deeply personal metaphors or mystical experiences that don't really fit in with the quotidian experience, but it's important to remember that these are just ways of altering your perception of reality, everything outside your skull continues to operate as it always has.
