Actually is hasn't been proven to be produced in dream or before death. That is just what Dr. Strassman hypothesized.

It is found endogenously in the body though.

Either way DMT is an amazing compound and very worth exploring. The spice is a very ground-breaking and powerful experience. Far more powerful than any 1/8 of mushrooms, so make sure your as prepared as you can be. Though I don't think anyone is ever ready .

Welcome to the forums, and I look forward to your first trip report.
