I have found that trip reports, while fun to read and sometimes useful for gauging proper dosages and time spans, are usually not reflective of the type of journey you will have.
I will give my first LSD experience as an example. I had experimented with fungus and an "unknown compound" (that I still to this day do not know what that Cannabis was laced with, but boy would I love to get a hold of some of that stuff again!) in high school and had the typical 4-6 hour experience. I stumbled across someone with LSD, but because of Erowid's trip reports (not blaming Erowid for this in any way) I thought that taking L meant I was going to be tripping for 16-24 hours and seeing pink umbrella unicorns and the like. I swore to myself that I would never take LSD because I thought it was way more intense than I would have liked. Fast forward 6 years, and I'm finding out from a friend (who gave me that first joyous, magical dose) that it's a lot closer to 6 hours, and that you have to eat A LOT MORE THAN ONE DOSE to trip that hard.
I don't wish to discourage you from reading trip reports, because I was on Erowid just this morning reading about people's DOB experiences. Just be mindful that not all the information that's posted on these reports is accurate, nor is it any indication of what YOUR experience will be.
Edit: Also, you may want to try other psychedelics like LSD and mushrooms before attempting DMT. DMT is the pinnacle of experiences, and is not for everyone. Having DMT for your first experience is kinda like having a Porsche for your first car; no 16 year old is ready for that amount of raw power, and neither is someone who's never tripped before IMHO.
