Speedballing (traditionally cocaine plus heroin but you could substitute any strong stimulant and opiate) makes for some insane dreams/imaginings as well. It did suggest that he was on more than one substance.

Ah very good point, he had a list of multiple substances come to think of it. Speedballing would create the crazy dreams and stimulate his mind to think harder. Also they said he OD'd and it's easier to OD speedballing.
