Hi!
I've experienced and thought about this for some years but never really talked about it with others.
I don't know if this can relate to other psychedelics then DMT but for me it seems a bit specific to that experience. I'm not saying that there are only one experience in DMT, rather that it seems to have some shared characteristics among people. Like the possibility to feel transported to other actual places, times and levels of existence. Perhaps this can happen also on mushrooms, LSD and others but in my experience I've not had anything quite like some DMT experiences. But I might also add that I've had over 100 experiences with DMT (always with Syrian Rue) the last years, compared to perhaps 20 with others (mushrooms & LSD).
The experience I'm talking about is while being off psychedelics get a sense of 'other places'. For me it feels like a strange mix of a memory and a feeling that you know that it's still existing right this minute. A bit like a memory of a distant place from some other time in your life history and a realization that life probably are still going on there.
Only that this 'sense of a place' is of a place not to be found through a map search online. Whether this are worlds and places within us or on other levels of existence, is not important. I'm talking from a experiential perspective.
This notion or sense of having been far away from home, and that these places perhaps somehow are still existing. This might sound utterly simplistic/reductionistic and I don't mean it that way. But I can imagine that novel experiences and/or unusual mind-states opens up for new 'connections', communication especially in our brain, and that might be sensed even when not under the influence.
For me, a little bit of cannabis helps for having these experiences.
Does this tickle someone else?
