How can I go crazy?

swan_towerOkay, I know I'm crazy already. But I'm crazy in a "oh crap I'm trying to do way too much this summer and I'm going to snap" kind of way, which is not the way I need.
So -- because I'm amused to see what responses I will get -- I will throw this open to you, the great LJ mind.
Tiresias, a seer in Midnight Never Come, lost his mind years ago, through spending waaaaaaay too much time living in a faerie palace. He can't tell his prophetic visions from the things around him from the stuff he's just making up, and he's lost any sense of when events are taking place; the few parts of the book written from his point of view will not have dates attached to them as everything else does, and do not take place in the order they're presented. His is a very particularly dream-like madness.
. . . but I have a hard time remembering my dreams, and don't do dream-like writing well. So I ask you, oh great LJ mind: what methods would you recommend for getting myself into the proper state of mind to write this book's Tiresias scenes? How can I make myself go the right kind of crazy, or at least play it onTV the page?
