I was wondering where would be the best place to post this and I decided here would be good. It's not a trip report, yet... but reports relevant to this are welcome.
This is mainly aimed at aya/pharmahuasca, as this is my best understood substance to relate to in the context of this post.
I was just wondering how does dosing at different times of the day effect the experience for all of you?
For myself, vaporized DMT is effected very little by this because it is so involving that the setting slips right out of the equation and all the experience becomes is the experience.
Usually I am much more relaxed later into the night. I think this explains my insomnia in a way as my mind works better at night so I'm a bit of a sleep deprivation junkie. However, when taking pharmahuasca, my night time rituals always seem much darker and confronting, even at lower than average doses the early onset visuals can be quite threatening. I put this down to the effects of my tired body pushing back onto the minds eye which causes this strange anxiety.
During the day my experiences are very blissful. I very seldom get nausea and the all over vibe is very friendly and safe. I also feel that the spirits listen to me a lot more, whereas in the night if I even begin to think the manifested visuals get very impatient. Signs such as arms flapping in my face until I clear my mind of all thought, only to experience what "they" show me with no distractions. To combat this I keep my mind clear but REALLY convulse my body to keep it attached to my mind, through fear of "breaking through" indefinitely. It's a strange feeling.
The most blissful experience I ever had was when I dosed as soon as waking up, then just laied in bed for a couple of hours "dreaming awake". I think this is because I'm still in that dream state in my head from when I was sleeping, which makes the experience integrate perfectly.
I suppose I should leave this open to all substances, but try to leave out boring ones like alcohol and MDMA, though why someone would want MDMA first thing in the morning would baffle me.
So how was it for you?
