I have a CD Mastering studio built into a room in my house, and if all the gear is turned off, and all the lights are turned off, and you close all of the doors, you basicly have a sensory deprovation room. Total darkness, Total silence, sans the floating (saltwater tank). So my friend and I thought it would be a great idea to take DMT while laying on the couch in the studio and having the other person, after helping with the final tokes, turn out the lights and close the door on their way out of the studio, so the DMTravler could experience the trip in almost total sensory deprovation. Well, we tried this about two days ago now, and I'm still wondering if this was a good or bad idea. Either way, it was the most crazy, weird DMT experience I've encountered so far!! So here is my first DMT experience I felt I needed to share with the forum. I remember my pal helping me with the last few hits, I think 3 or 4 total, and laying down. Next thing I remember is my body thrashing around like one would do if they were in the middle of opiate withdrawls or something and sreaming and growling like an animal. My body felt like it was convulsing and squeezing every muscle at the same time to get anything toxic out of me [b:d85c428523]right then[/b:d85c428523]. At the same time mentaly, I was having a vision of myself and two other people (?DMT entities of some kind?) helping and guiding someone through this experience. I don't know how to explain it any better. It was like we (myself & the other two) were standing around a bed or table and there was someone laying on it, like I said, thrashing around violently almost like they were possessed or going through heroin withdrawl cold-turkey. And we were there to help, or coach him through it. Also, it was like I was there learning from the other two. Now, this whole time, I am the one on the bed/table doing the trashing around and every now and then my eyes would open a little and I could see myself squeezing all my muscles, wringing toxins out of my body and writhing around howling and gasping for breath but inside, my mind was at complete ease, just observing and what seemed like learning. When I started to come out of it I realised what I was doing, mid-howl, and I was like "Whoa, what the hell am I doing!!!" It took a couple of minutes to get my berrings, as I was still seeing the glass overlay that DMT leaves you with as you come down and I was a little confused. Then I remembered my freind sitting in the next room and thought, "[i:d85c428523]he had to have heard me screaming and howling like an animal, and if he looked in here while I was writhing around like that, he may have tried to help me, but I was so completly unaware of the room I was in, while in that trip, I don't think I could have communicated with him much less even realise he was there[/i:d85c428523]". So I layed there for a minute, wondering if maybe I was so fucked up & possesed looking that mabye he freaked out and left. Or maybe he was too scared to even look in on me because of the noises I was making. Of course, he would never do that to me, but it made sense at the time. I mean, I was going off on full volume! So after a few minutes of laying there trying to comprehend what had just happened, I walked out into the living room to ask him what I was just doing & appologise for him having to take care of me. [b:d85c428523]He didn't know what I was talking about![/b:d85c428523] He had not heard any yelling, screaming, howling or gasping for breath, NOTHING. I went back into the studio and screamed as loud as my lungs [b:d85c428523]felt like I had been screaming [/b:d85c428523]and he said he could hear [b:d85c428523]that[/b:d85c428523] just fine!! So I guess all of this happened in my head, [i:d85c428523]or where ever I was[/i:d85c428523]. Even though afterward, my body felt as if I had just been squeezing all of my muscles to the breaking point and my lungs felt as if I [i:d85c428523]had[/i:d85c428523] been screaming!! Another strange thing, I've had a cold for the past few weeks and it is gone now. [b:d85c428523]Seriously!! [/b:d85c428523]Its like I pushed all of the toxins right out of my body. [b:d85c428523]I'm serious!! [/b:d85c428523]My cold is gone just like that!!! And I don't mean like it's [i:d85c428523]magicly[/i:d85c428523] gone. I hacked up all the phlem that was left in my lungs somehow, and its gone!! (I guess I swallowed it or mabey I spit it in the trash I'll have to check.) I know this is gross, sorry, but the spice clensed me I think. As horrible as this sounds as I type it up, it was not a negative experience. In fact, It was quite wonderful, despite the lack of coming up or down. It was on and off, boom! Unfourtunetly a little Salvia Divinorum-like, without the feeling of impending doom. Instead, a loving, helping, teaching feeling. I'm still takin' this one in. Any input would be very, very welcome!!! WS
