I want to share my first trip on DMT for you to read. I did not take a lot (<10mg), but I still found myself caught off guard by the sudden intensity.
I used an electronic vape, approximately 65% DMT, 35% PG. This is my first experience with DMT.

I took a medium-sized hit after a primer puff to get the coil hot. I held it in for about 10-12 seconds. After I exhaled, I lay on my back and closed my eyes. I quickly felt my mind get pulled into a drifting, slow-spinning orange hollow box made of light. It was about a cubic meter in size. I caught a glimpse of a spinning flower mandala shape outside of the box, which seemed to be made of thick smoke, but it was fleeting and blurry.
I felt like my mind was pulled outside of my body, just above my physical head. It was as if my ethereal body was suddenly pulled loose by several inches. It was intense and a bit jarring. I had a feeling similar to what I imagine dying would be like, but it didn't hurt or seem dangerous.
I could see some geometric shapes made of light, like floating, spinning little decahedrons. There were also a lot of eye shapes in a fibonacci floral spiral, like a sunflower's center.
The edges of the visuals were soft and blurry, not well defined. Everything appeared to be made of bright yellow and orange light, like the leftover impressions after looking at the sun for a moment. I felt as if there was a translucent lens over my minds eye, reminiscent of a second eyelid that some reptiles have.
I could sense the presence of a being above me that felt like it was licking or feeling me with tendrils/tentacles all over my body. It gave me the impression of wet fingers gliding over my skin, but they were made of electric light. I perceived these to look identical to the tentacles of a sea anenome.
My best guess is it was scanning my form. Afterward, my thoughts came to settle that this being was some sort of guardian at an entrance to another realm. Such as if to check all that attempt to enter into this realm and make sure they are permitted to pass.
I felt like there were two other beings there, tugging on my mind with their "hands" and flipping through the pages of my memory. Their form appeared to be composed of black shards of crystals, floating in a cluster in the shape of alien-looking heads. It was as if they were peering over a ledge into the spot where I had emerged into their realm. I got the impression that they were trying to identify me. They also seemed to be attempting to pull me further in.
There was a strange feeling of impending terror like I was going to be pulled out of my body by force. I somehow knew that I would be safe, but I also knew it would be intense and more than I was ready for in that moment.
I communicated my thoughts on the matter to these beings, who then accepted that I was not yet ready, and we mutually agreed that this was not the time to go deeper. I was relieved that they were so understanding. It became obvious that I now had some meditation homework to do after this trip ended.
Some part of me didn't want to let go and was clinging to my mundane reality. It was the part of me that is concerned about the things I consider important in my everyday life. My health, my family, etc. My ego was caught off guard and unprepared for this level of separation at this time.
At this point, the trip began to fade rapidly, and the visuals lost colour. Then, the forms softened further and faded into the dark grey void of my closed eyelids. I was taken aback by the overpowering intensity of the experience. I had only just taken what seemed like a small hit and was only prepared for maybe some light geometric patterns.
The experience felt familiar, like making contact with someone you haven't spoken to in a decade or more. The sensations all felt very familiar as well, and a thought that came to mind was, "Oh f***, not this again." I think this was because of the sheer intensity of the experience. Although interesting and awesome, it was just so overwhelming.
(Just some side notes to add more context. I tend to be a bit sensitive to psychedelics. I get noticeably stronger effects than my friends do, even on lower doses. I also tend to have profound insights easily, and I have a previous history of entity contact on several occasions from shroom trips)
Thanks for reading. I appreciate any thoughts, comments, or opinions.
