Preconceptions are misconceptions.

I can sympathize with the idea that DMT is "more of the same old thing", and that these types of experience are generally accessible to those that know the way. However, these "sober" states that harken to the the psychedelic experience, while similar in some ways, can not parallel the experience of actually having the substance in your body. Beyond that, dream states and entities are frankly a toe in the water compared to what DMT can bring to the forefront of perception.

If you're going to use a psychedelic drug, do your research, prepare yourself, and go at it with an open mind free of preconception or ulterior motive. Going into the experience just to prove something to yourself is not only just stroking your ego but can distort the trip to reflect your preconceptions... and it would be a shame to think you got the point when in reality, you're miles off

Happy Trails,
