Hi All,
I've come to say hello to all the members on this site and to share my DMT experience and ask a specific question that’s been on my mind. Firstly I've taken Magic mushrooms, LSD and most recently DMT when I was travelling through South East Asia, I'm not a big psychedelic user by any means.
The DMT experience was to put it mildly, mind blowing. I took DMT about 3 months ago and to be perfectly honest I only vaguely knew what it was as I had read a little here and there. I was never really that interested in it but when the opportunity presented itself I took it. The interesting thing about the circumstance around this was the guy who was administering it had 3 doses left, 1 guy had gone before me and the other was just about to go, his wife started talking about her DMT experience then asked if I wanted to try it? Why not? About 30 minutes after that, a guy I had been travelling with, and who was really keen on Psychedelics, and had always wanted to try DMT arrived and asked if he could have it. A dilemma! Only one dose and 2 guys. To be honest I had been preparing myself for those 30 minutes so was a little reluctant to now back out. The answer was simple, a coin flip, he called it and I won it, so there was no more to think about.
So, I went into the Tepee, yep a tepee. Frank told me don't worry, you'll still be you when you return, this was reassuring and at the same time quite disconcerting.. Anyway I started to slowly inhale and wham... Like a digital pixelated computer screen everything evaporated before my eyes and it was on. At first I had the thought that I was dead, my body felt like it had been erased by a laser, a laser that erased my body like it was disintegrating it atom by atom, holy shit, maybe this is what death is like? Consciousness without a physical form..
The next moments on DMT were very overwhelming. I don't really remember this phase very well, but there was a lot going on, colours patterns shapes, tunnels, all coming full on, it was a little scary but manageable. After this the next thing i remember was arriving in some kind of technology or machine. I think this is a crude description of what it is but it’s what it felt like, and there was the humming, like an electronic chanting or something. Now there it was, I think there were 3 beings. I don't want to call them aliens as again I don't think that's exactly the right description but they were beings of some kind. There was one who started to ask me questions, telepathically, I don't remember what it was asking, but it looked like a cross between some kind of Buddha with a type of reptile face. Not like in the movies but something different, again difficult to describe and a little scary. It sat in a lotus position and its whole body was an electronic light, kind of like a Christmas tree lights, but flowing everywhere like a conveyor belt. When it asked me questions it didn't seem to need me to answer as it went directly to my consciousness and extracted the answer, but i don't know what answer it was extracting.. I just felt it enter my consciousness then come back out, it was like it tapped directly into me and it would say "yes" after it had the information. After each question, it asked me could it go in again? I don't actually remember answering but it did go back in, and it kind of made sure I was OK after each time it did this. Eventually, this is where the trip came to an end, it asked me did I want to stay, I remember definitely saying "no thank you". The next thing I knew I was back in the tepee staring at the ceiling and I was actually speaking out loud saying no thank you, no thank you, no thank you and that was the end.
The next few days is where I thought about the experience and one interesting thing I found was animations, writing, pictures, art and other symbols all seemed to be infused with DMT inspiration, like DMT was at work behind the scenes in a major way. After a few days I didn't think much about DMT and put it down to an interesting experience, not one I'd necessarily do again, but an interesting drug that made me see these things.
OK, so skip to many months later. A week ago and I began to think about DMT again. I know DMT is a Psychedelic, but I thought what I had on DMT were maybe some kind of an hallucination, maybe.. But it was just the drug and my brain making these things up, right? Then I remembered I read somewhere that Psychedelics don't make you hallucinate, a quick Wikipedia and it says the word hallucinogen is a misnomer they simply modify regular perceptions... Wow, WTF! And then I checked out Aldous Huxley’s Mind at large and the thinking goes... basically the brain is blocking out all these other perceptions as it would be too overwhelming, so what does this mean, it was real? This maybe isn't news to people here but it was a realisation, maybe an epiphany, so what does this mean? Is this really correct? Any comments and clarification would be most welcome, I'm interested and its intriguing.
