Physically what is the experience like?

[Username: Required]

So everything I have read or heard what a DMT experience is like suggests that the experience feels more real than this reality. I am just curious since I have not heard anyone recount what their physical appearance looked/felt like during their journey. Could someone share what they felt like while in the DMT world such as were you still visually physically yourself while looking down at your own body? Also were you still wearing the same clothes and if you were sore or had any aches or pains, if they were still present?

It's honestly very hard to describe, you truly have to experience it. Past a threshold the experience becomes something. That's about as far as I can describe it haha. I close my eyes IRL, but past the threshold the CEV's are so immersive that I forget if my eyes are open or not, I forget I have a body at all, or a life, or that I got there through a drug. It feels like I’ve been there the whole time, and life was just something I got caught up in while scrolling the Earth reel. No, I don't have a body there that I've ever noticed. I have seen embodied people though, sometimes familiar ones like friends or family. But time and space aren't a thing there, so it's like brief flashes of memory that may manifest visual embodiments. And I'm not sure if I've done it while feeling too uncomfortable or injured, but I think past that threshold, awareness of my body is not very strong. Can't really talk, move, or process a task.

With an exhaustingve search through the trip reports you'll find all sorts of accounts regarding physical appearance, ranging from staying seemingly exactly the same, to transforming into alien lifeforms, males experiencing living in a female body, having a different skin tone melaninwise, psychedelic patterning or tattoos shimmering on the skin, or skin becoming transparent and the interior organs and structures becoming visible, to name but a few.

None of this will necessarily bear any relation to what you may encounter should you take the plunge and blast off into hyperspace.

It's often noted that physical injuries can bring discomfort over into the experience, but again, that's variable and depends on the situation. From what I gather, some would rather wait until things have calmed down and healed over before blasting off after getting a tattoo, for example. (@Voidmatrix …)

Welcome to the Nexus.

During the comeup, my body initially feels kind of odd/heavy and a bit numb. As the comeup continues I loose touch with my body. If I took a decent dose, I loose touch with everything in my body, including breathing and heartbeat. I try not to panic, thinking I'm dead. I try to let go of everything in my head and offer surrender to hyperspace. Then the vision starts (or transforms into the breakthrough, as sometimes the vision is up and running even as I set the pipe down) and I am floating around watching astonishing things but I have no body at all in there, not even a simulacrum. It's like I'm a soul or a non-corporeal entity in there. I remember in the early days when I realized one does not need a heartbeat or breathing to thrive in hyperspace. That was helpful.

I have experienced heightened awareness of physical ailments on low threshold experiences. But as previously stated, beyond a certain point the idea of being tied to a physical existence simply does not exist.

I just had a thought. Never tripped naked on DMT. Anyone?

No way. DMT makes me as cold as a corpse. Not only do I NOT strip (as I often do with mushrooms or even LSD) but I bundle up and try for long sleeves, . Then I get under a blanket.

I have been known to actively hide from a few experiences under that cozy blanket!

Wow these replies are awesome! It almost sounds like these experiences could suggest that there is more validity to Matrix theory and an increased amount of DMT allows you to observe beyond the veil. I know I have a long road ahead of me before my first experience but man I cannot wait!

This is the most fun part for me. Its possible to make any theory stick once you've seen how unlimited, beautiful and absurd non physical reality can be.

In a way that is also the main danger. The more wild your conclusions become the more isolated from humanity you may also be.

Bodily experiences and sensations can run the gamut, though there are some threads or resonance of feel that seems inherent to the experience beneath the myriad of other things felt.

Depending on the dose, set, setting, skill, and everything that led up to the experience, you may feel beautiful healing warmth, energetic zaps, somatic discharge, loss of awareness of your body, morphing of your body, and the quintessential feeling like you may have released and soiled yourself.

If you have any fresh wounds, particularly impacting the skin, expect to feel that area intensely during the onset at the very least.

One love

Wow I never thought of it with that perspective. I guess my ignorance to this substance has me putting the cart before the horse. I would say my assumption could be from the corruption of my psilocibin experiences that have grounded me and connected me to this life. I will follow up once I have actually had my own DMT experience.

I have a friend who never puts the slightest meaning on any of it. He will smoke changa while drunk without the slightest fear or notion of a bad experience. Everybody is different

Yes I have had friends of this same nature. Chaotic but also that is what makes them fun to be around, some of the time lol!

I really love this description Pandora!

Hi,
I'm just taking my first tentative steps on my DMT journey, see here -> My first 3, all low doses
I did notice that a lot of my usual aches and pains were less after DMT, I'd be interested to hear if this is anyone else's experience.

NOTHING would have prepared my for my first pipe... NOTHING! And the nerves I feel leading up to those glass pipes are crazy, I am telling myself and anything I meet (in the DMT state) that I may well be scared and overwhelmed and its OK, the point is exploration.

Physically I never moved from the comfy spot and my clothes were still where they should be!

Sounds like maybe this might be a more ethical way of going about it. Instead of breaking through the "Door" you knock on it first. I will go about it this way as well, after hearing about others being kicked out by the "Jesters" I will try to do the equivalent of asking if I can come over and hangout, instead of being like the Kool-aid man "OHH YEAH!!!"
Lol
