Hi everybody, I'm new to posting but I've been reading this forum for quite some time. I'm just coming off from a trip and I'm still trying to piece it together, and I thought I would share. While this subforum is for new members, hopefully I'll get some input from some of the established members on this forum.

I felt the fuzzies come on, and then I lay back and close my eyes. I see a tunnel materializing in front of me, and I'm suddenly shot off through it into a kaleidoscope of colors. During this time I'm fully aware of “me” and what I’ve just done. I hear myself say “why did I come here? I didn't need to come here”. After hearing this I also hear myself say that since I can hear myself, I probably didn't take enough. My eyes shoot open after maybe 15 seconds, and I see the mass hysteria/confusion that is a heavy mushroom trip around me. I’m still having a few of the sentiments I had moments ago and I hear myself making other comments, and I try to relax, I even say “we're actually really here! It’s happening right now! Try to enjoy it!” and I relax a little and see a mass of cloud in the sky turn into a chubby elephant.

I made a short voice recording after I opened my eyes, this is the transcript: “I definitely didn't appreciate it this time. Very violent this time too. Ripped apart, and...and I guess what they say is true…that’s not breaking through maybe I don't know. I didn't like it this time”.

I should also include my smoking method. The material was extracted from ACRB, and it was a “full spectrum” honey-like goo that was dried onto basil. When I tried before with a regular bong, once the initial effects/fuzzies came on, I would tend to think “that’s enough” and put it down. I tried smoking it through a gravity bong this time because I figured having all the smoke concentrated and inhaled in one step would allow me to get as large a dose as possible. Either way, even though it was set to dry for almost a week, it looked like the “liquid-ness” of the goo protected it from the flame and I don't think it burned properly.

There were aspects of it that I remember as beautiful, but there was an underlying motif of me feeling like I “didn't need to come here”. I last tripped DMT for the first time about three weeks ago, and that experience was positive. It was a similar trip, highly immersive CEV for about 15-20 seconds , then my eyes shoot open and I'm in a heavy mushroom trip. Very short duration, and even then I felt like I didn't have enough of a dose. So since about three weeks ago, I've been anticipating to get more out of this trip as I’d know what to expect and not be as overwhelmed. That might be a factor as I should have kept my expectations to a minimum and stayed open to whatever it brought me.

I suspect the dose was low due to the subtle uncomfortable dysphoria that I hear accompanies a mis-fire. It did not burn properly, and I'm also researching the effects of NMT, as ACRB has lots of it, so my stash may have a higher ratio of NMT : DMT. NMT does not tend to be as visual, and I certainly had intense visuals, but the duration of my last two trips is what I suspect may be a factor of NMT.
 
Well good luck on your future endeavors. My tip would be to try to keep your eyes closed for the duration of the experience. It can allow for a lot of "plot development" in the course of the experience.
 
Thanks Global! I feel like the CEV are initially so immersive that I'm not even aware if my eyes are closed or not, but I'll make it a point next time to concentrate on keeping my eyes closed.
 
I've had a little time to reflect on the experience, and I believe it was overly positive. I think I may have fought it too much. It was insanely intense.

I may have not taken a serious effort to integrate my first experience three weeks ago (I now know three weeks between DMT sessions is way too little). I should have taken the time to reflect on it, and put into action everything I had learned. This experience brought forth the same insights as last time. It was a redundant message, sort of saying “this is old news, you should've been paying attention and taken care of this”. This is why I was thinking “I didn't need to come here”. I've already gotten this message; I need to assimilate it before I can move on.
