DMT increases speed of movement perception?

Migrated topic.

A while ago i vaporized some DMT, and i turned my head, not quite in hyperspace. My partner moved her head to the side,
and it was in matrix-style slow motion. I have experience time dilation, but never actual slow movement. This interests me because, how is it possible for that to happen?
Either
1) Everything i am seeing at the time is a full hallucination. Not likely since this was not a breakthrough dose.
2) I am somehow perceiving movement faster than i normally do-this is possible if neurons fire faster, if i am not mistaken. Is DMT capable of this? Can it really cause my neurons to fire fast enough for me to perceive movement faster ( therefore the movement becomes slower because i believe if the rate of perception speeds up, the perceived thing slows down right? ) than i normally do?I know i have experienced this with adrenaline.
 
Time dilation is a definite possibility. I don't know the mechanics of it (who does?), but it is not an uncommon experience. I've just been told a story tonight of someone who spent a week in his head tripping for five minutes in reality, on salvia mind you. On DMT, I've experienced timelessness, to a lesser extent than those who will post next. On Nitrous, I've seen people act in fast forward, very literally. No need to explain it, really :)
 
I dont know what it does but i know what you are saying. I feel like i can see/live in between each moment, sound,

flash. anything. Ive given up on trying to understand how Dimitri teaches me, and focus more on what Im experiencing.

If you stay the course your going to go through things that you never could have thought possible.
 
I call this phenomenon the "increase of sampling frequency"

But it may not be an actual increase... more like attention is called to the details, like turning up the zoom on a microscope.
 
I forget where I read this, but one theory I read was that the time dilation is a result of the immense amount of sensory information (visuals, kinesthetics, audio, etc...) from the rush being processed by your brain at once. In order for you to experience all of the phenomena at once, your perception of time must be slowed down. I've also heard the same theory attributed to why our dreams which are actually extremely short in duration can seem to go by at normal speed and take up the duration of a full story as opposed to dreaming in fast-forward so to speak.
 
I know that adrenaline can do this. Have you ever seen things get slow right before an accident?
Its probably similar.
 
there is a particular zone where everything is very quick , jerky and shifting . things shift in a jerky manner with one eye blink.

I'm not sure whats changeing . It always feels like taking in a whole other visual frequency range.
It always seems to me in the moment that as alien as the stuff is it something thats already here that we are not currently able to see or experience. The DMT opens up a latent perceptual ability and it does seem like our receptors are able to keep up with whats coming in for the most part.

The mechanics of the perception don't seem to be the problem. Its our inherent disbelief and monkey baggage we bring to the experience that seems to create the issues.
 
To me it seems to be like processing issues. Like if you think of your mind as being analogous to a computer, and you're playing an online computer game. If your video card isn't good enough, when there's too much information too quickly to be processed, you get that lag where time seems to slow down, yet during which you can still see and hear things going on around you. In reality we know that to other folks who have efficient enough video cards, time seems to move at the normal constant rate and they haven't noticed what your perceive as slowing down in time at all. So it's like when you take DMT, the game gets too advanced with too much information at times that your "hardware" isn't up to the standard it needs to be so you get this time dilation. I know it's a rather crude analogy, but it may help in seeing the kind of direction I'm coming from. Also, if I didn't use all the correct computer terminology, my apologies :lol:
 
But if things are slowing down, then perception is speeding up. Flies perceive movement faster, so our hands look slow to them when we swat them.

I think Cellux had it, IMO.
