Hi Phil, great post!

I can relate in alot of ways, especially going it alone. I haven't told anyone in my life about my upcoming "journey" and I don't think I even should. :?  But the Nexus has been a HUGE help and a wonderful resource; researching here has greatly reduced my concerns and anxieties on taking the first step.

I also have experience with lucid dreaming which I think I was able to develop through my meditation practice. I'm wondering if this would help during a DMT experience, as far as staying present with the experience at least?

Be well and have a safe journey! Definitely interested in hearing about your results.
