endogenous DMT

Has any research determined how much DMT is produced by an average human when they sleep? I was curious if it was substantial or if it's just trace amounts. Any theories on what exactly humans produce it for, or what would happen if we didn't produce it (how would brain function be altered)?

[quote:3b519099bf]Any theories on what exactly humans produce it for, or what would happen if we didn't produce it (how would brain function be altered)?[/quote:3b519099bf] There's plenty of theories out here. Have you read the "Spirit Molecule"? http://www.scribd.com/doc/3655/DMT-The-spirit-molecule-by-Rick-Strassman DMT an anxiolytic? Erowid.org: Erowid Reference 7064 : Endogenous psychoactive tryptamines reconsidered: an anxiolytic role for dimethyltryptamine : Jacob MS, Presti DE It's all highly speculative at this point.
 
The anxiolytic idea is interesting - i wonder if any studies will be done along that lines. You'd think they'd have tried DMT suppression experiments to see what effects that has on a person... I did look at the Strassman book. I was a bit lost with some of his speculating (dark matter, other dimensions, etc.) .

DMT suppression experiments would be interesting. Deffinately test it on animals first though, because god only knows what might happen.
