Throat marbles?

[Borstili]

Hi people!

I just read some information here about what you call "throat marbles" and I wanted to share my thoughts on it:

Never done any psychedelics, but I know a feeling resembling the marbles. It is not easy to accurately describe it, but I try my best. It happens when I lie in bed trying to sleep sometimes that I have a feeling of some kind of ball at the back of my mouth where the throat begins. This ball is kind of blowing up, doing a little pressure and giving me the feeling that there is no need to breathe. The ball feels somehow golden, not the material but the color. Through my feeling I have the impression of the ball being made of light. When it happens it is in a way frightening but when I remember it I think it's a great feeling which is very nice accompanied by a sense of unity with everything.

I don't know if the feeling is the same as the one which is reported to here often. But if, I think the reported one does not come from any kind of problems through smoking but is some effect of dmt itself or better: it is a feeling belonging to man which may be evoked by DMT.

I would be glad about comments.

I also get the throat marble. The first few times I got it, I felt like something was stuck in my throat. After that, it stopped bothering me. I remember that in one of my first DMT trip reports, I wrote "I felt like there was something in the back of my throat and that there was water splashed all over me" ... When I was little, I would also get a sort of feeling of something in my throat or roof of my mouth expanding as I was falling asleep. I don't know whether my experiences actually parallel yours, but I figured I'd post with some of my own experiences 'cause you might be interested.

Never experienced it myself, my friend said he would get the feeling of like ball bearings in his mouth so I guess that's probably a similar sensation. With me I often get a repetitive clicking sound. Hard to describe, very loud and intrusive. I originally thought the noise originated in my throat and that it was some involuntary thing I was doing whilst in hyperspace, but I've come to realise it's just a part of the soundscape of hyperspace for me. A carrier wave which intermittently changes pitch, each pitch chage is seperated by a loud click. Hasn't happened for a while.

It sounds like separate phenomena. You describe this "marble" as enlarging, feeling like golden light and a sense of unity. The "marble" that I've experienced from DMT is cold and feels like a hard marble - nothing pleasant about it in the slightest. Something you also have to understand is that this is not a "DMT effect". If you take the DMT in any other route of administration other than smoking, then I see no way for the marble to manifest itself. It's more of a side effect of smoking DMT improperly. If you burn the DMT due to poor smoking technique, is about the only way I know of to get this most annoying marble that is nothing but uncomfortable and distracting. There's no unity to talk of. If anything it detracts from such feelings. It's a physiological reaction to this kind of burnt smoke, but shouldn't be confused with a reaction to the DMT itself.
