Dream of a DMT virgin

I have never taken psychedelics, but I have been researching a lot into the subject recently. Last night I had a dream that I was in my living room with my partner. It felt slightly more realistic than an average dream. A few of us (there were a few of us, but I can only remember actually seeing or knowing my partner was present) in this dream were trying a substance, which I think was DMT.

I believed that for a while the drug was having no effect, and then all of a sudden I got a strange feeling of a heavy weight in my head and a silent resonance. I didn't panic, but I was excited that the drug was taking effect. My partner had not taken the drug in this dream, but as the effects came on I tried my best to communicate with her the effects. I started to describe the feeling that I was experiencing. Then after about 5-10 seconds, I heard a booming male's voice which said something along the lines of ".....have been here for five hundred years.... you know us...". As the voice finished every sentence I tried repeating it to my partner, because I was eager for her to record anything I was experiencing. There was more content from this voice, but I can't remember it now.

After this I heard a beautiful tune which I began to try and hum out loud, and I tried to stand up but frequently fell over as I felt unstable from the resonance and weight in my head. I couldn't keep up humming with the tune either; and the less I could, a really good feeling built up inside me. I am not sure if this was euphoria or joy or ecstacy, as the only experience I have of drugs is a few joints of marijuana; and I can't compare it to any other feeling I've had in my life. It wasn't quite like the ecstacy of an orgasm, but it was similar in intensity with longer duration. I believe this feeling actually woke me up from my dream.

So all in all, a very enjoyable and interesting experience. However, it raised an issue I had previously played down. My few experiences of marijuana were very short and involved seeing someone talk and hearing their voice about one second later, after which I panicked and went outside to breath as much fresh air as possible to clear out my system :lol: I am very familiar with the feeling of being intoxicated with alcohol, and enjoy a few drinks and am comfortable with it. The issue is, how does it feel to be under the influence of a psychedelic. I know this is a very broad subject, varies with the substance taken, and I don't expect anyone to answer it or provide detailed trip reports, as there are many out there. But I am trying to find out more about how it first comes on with people. I am finding it difficult to word this correctly, but I am concerned about how I might feel and react to the initial onsets of LSD, psycilocibin, mescaline or DMT, having not experienced anything like this before. Perhaps if someone could compare it to alcohol, I may be better prepared, however I appreciate this may be like comparing the colour green and the smell of oranges. Perhaps DMT would not be typical of the others, due to the very intense onset, but mescaline on the other hand. What are the initial cues and does one feel intoxicated/drowsy like one does with alcohol?

As always, I appreciate anyone reading or replying to this.
 
On both shrooms and acid, I have felt "drunk feelings," but in different ways. On acid, especially in the first couple hours of the come-up, particularly before I've had any visuals (which for me sometime don't kick in until after the third hour), I have the feeling of a good drunken buzz, but without the dis-coordination and both physical and mental sloppiness. With shrooms I've had sloppiness, and some vague resembling attitudes of a drunken state would arise. There is an extreme amount of intellect that I believe goes into most of my trips that never come up with drinking. People try and use drinking to solve their problems, and when they do, you'll usually see them crying in a corner somewhere. Same thing is going to happen if you irresponsibly use psychedelics as well, only there's the additional possibility of irrational fear, or rational fear of something that you may not have been prepared or mentally equipped to deal with. Drinking may impair your senses, but psychedelics may enhance and/or distort them in some way, shape or form, and remember: you have five senses. It's not just visuals that can be distorted. Distortion or hallucinations of touch, taste, smell and hearing are very possible. Sometimes tasting and smelling things that aren't there can be a nuisance. Salvia can really mess with your perception of touch, in ways that are sometimes too complex for me to even think about. Let's not forget, you've already encountered how disturbing you may find these distortions as was the case with your audio delay. Whatever you decide to do, research it as best you can, so you can have as few curve balls thrown your way as possible.
 
psychedelics can definitely be compared with alcohol with the discordination and sloppiness but i believe that it is mentally more like marijuana. i have experienced a few times high levels of anxiety and similar thought process as lsd or shrooms while smoking very large amounts of marijuana. i would suggest that being comfortable with marijuana might help before using psychedelics since it is a mild psychedelic.

I agree that anxiety that can manifest itself from large doses of marijuana can accurately reflect anxiety from some bad trips I've had. I think there are also a great deal of other negative emotions that could never crop up from MJ that one should be prepared for as well though.

HA! On a funny side note I have a book called....hmm Head Trip? Where the author talks about all the states of mind we experience in a 24h cycle. The expert he talked about dreaming with said that when people dream about getting high their brain activity is exactly the same as if they really were getting high. I have experienced this.


Sorry but if you say it's a dream I believe you.😉
 
I remember in the days leading up to when I would finally get to try smoked spice for the first time, I had an intense psychedelic dream in which I consumed DMT, and as cool as it was, it paled in comparison to the real thing.
 
Odd...... I just had the same thing the other day. I posted about it, somewhere in the middle of my post is the dream... basically I saw two lights which for some reason I "knew" were entities, and I got pulled in to them quickly by this strong current of gravity that acted on different parts of my body at different times. It was like I was being pulled into a black hole. I quickly became terrified in the dream, then told myself to calm down and let it happen, surrender control, but I guess the initial onset of fear woke me up.

I've never had a dream remotely like this. I usually dream about being in a normal place doing absurd things, like for example being naked at school, or riding an elevator in a building that's completely submerged underwater. Or I just dream about completely everyday things (and its impossible to tell its a dream).

The next day after smoking a small bit of spice (10mg probably, not weighed), I lied down and remained conscious, but for a brief moment I felt the exact same gravity thrust but it was almost as if I hadn't smoked enough to really feel and experience it.
 
One of the oddest dreams that I still have vivid memories of from around 15 years ago involved being pulled by imaginary forces, and when I tried to scream for help, hieroglyph-like characters simply spewed from my mouth with no sound. Was probably the scariest experience of my life up until that point, but I just thought that the visual-audio synaesthesia and complete loss of control with the alien-like symbols were a bit remniscent of DMT experiences
 
I've always found it odd that some people find shrooms to be "sloppy" or to have a drunkenness to it. With LSD I usually feel very uncoordinated and take a lot of caution with my movements. But shrooms have always been just the opposite for me. On shrooms I always feel very coordinated and aware of myself and environment. I've been juggling since I was 13 and when on shrooms I far exceed my abilities when sober. (EDIT: I'm now 33 years old)

I have a hard time considering alcohol to be comparable to any psychedelic. Alcohol is such a mind numbing and dumbing down experience. I really, really hate being drunk. Its one of the worst drug experiences IMO.

Also beware that psychedelics can take you on a mental and emotional roller-coaster ride that nothing can really prepare you for. Just go with it, don't fight it and if things feel bad than a change in environment can help a lot. Though changing environment doesn't really work for smoked DMT. You'll just have to hang on, keep a positive attitude and remember it'll be over in a few minutes.
 
Changing environments is often crucial for me while tripping. If nothing else I simply get bored, but when things go bad, changing environments is always the second thing I do...right after taking some xanax
