What does this trip mean

[madputz]

For context, this is from vaping DMT, not smoking straight crystal.

I've had a couple of times where I barely got any visuals and couldn't really get anywhere. I've had this happen before where it just feels like it won't let me through.

The other night though, I did get through. I saw some visuals I'd never seen before, which was pretty cool, but for the first time ever I had this strange feeling that I wasn't alone. It felt like something was brushing past me or standing just behind me. I couldn't tell if it was just my hair moving against my face when I turned my head, but it also felt like something was darting across my vision even though I couldn't actually see anything.

The trip ended and I didn't think much of it.

The next morning I tried again but didn't get through. Then later that night I had another go, this time while I was in my garden. I was just looking around and the visuals were really nice, but nothing too crazy.

When I turned around and walked back into my house, everything changed. As soon as I got into the front room, the visuals stepped up massively. The room felt really creepy. I could see faces forming in the corners and the walls looked like they were folding in on themselves. A lot of it had this jester-like look to it. I felt really uneasy, and the room just didn't feel welcoming at all.

I got that same feeling again that something was near me. I decided I wanted to go back outside because I wasn't enjoying being in there, but for some reason I felt like I had to walk really slowly, almost like I didn't want to annoy or upset whatever I felt was there. It was a really weird feeling.

Once I got back into the garden, everything felt completely different. The easiest way I can describe it is like something out of a Tim Burton film. I could still see jester-like faces in the bushes, but instead of feeling scared, I actually liked it. I just sat down in my garden chair and took it all in.

Lately I've been going into these trips without really looking for any meaning and just doing them for the experience. That said, I've always been curious about seeing an entity, so part of me wonders if this was almost like being tested to see how I'd react.

At the same time, another part of me wonders if it was trying to tell me that my house just isn't the right place to do it.

Has anyone had anything similar happen? Can entities seem location-based, or do you think I was just initially frightened and then, once I got outside, I settled into the experience and realised it wasn't actually scary?

Sometimes, what is experienced with psychedelics have either no tangible human explanation or can have a lot of explanations, it can also have two paradoxical or more explanations at the same time.

Doing it outside brings you closer to nature and the vastness of space. When I do my sessions inside the house, I fumigate the hell out of it with incense
I've been doing it for years, and praying is always a part of my ignition ceremony. Nowadays, my living space feels very welcoming to these experiences.
Don't think too much of it, but you can still burn some sage or frankincense in the house from time to time, wishing for protection and a clean space. It's a good practice in itself.

Somehow, a story about an Indian sage buying a house came to mind:

Papaji (Sri H.W.L. Poonja) spent his later years in Lucknow, where seekers from all over the world came to sit in sathsang with him.

When searching for a place to settle in Lucknow, Papaji was shown several houses across the city. After inspecting different properties, he was taken to a house in the Indira Nagar neighborhood.

The moment Papaji stepped into the house, he felt a powerful spiritual presence and immediately chose it over all the others. He explained that the atmosphere of a home is shaped by the subtle vibrations of those who inhabit it.

He revealed that a true devotee of Lord Ram had lived in that house for many years, constantly chanting the divine name and conducting sincere worship. Because of that continuous devotion, the walls and room space were charged with peace and divine energy.

Papaji, who himself had experienced deep visions and love for Lord Ram since early childhood, recognized that sacred resonance right away. That home went on to become his residence, welcoming countess seekers who came to sit in his presence.

I totally forgot about incense, they smell so good, I have a preference for frankincense and sandalwood.

I love the stories you share man btw.
