And as for SWIM...
He has seen reptilian people fashioned in a meso-American style (or sometimes almost Egyptian in the way they stand in later years) on many different sacraments, starting decades before he even discovered DMT. The first time, the only time he's ever taken a good dose of LSD, was his first entheogenic experience, where they danced around the carpet holding hands in concentric rings. He knew barely anything about meso-America back then, and nothing about hallucinogens, being only 17, but they were unmistakably meso-American.
The second time was over a decade later, after smoking salvia extract, where they were peeking out from the seams in the illusion of reality. They were slimmer and more 'realistic' this time.
The third time, on cactus, he saw close-ups of reptilian skin go past his eyes in the darkness, as if a large reptile were swimming past him.
The fourth time, on DMT, lizard-spirits were happily swimming the backstroke in his wooden floor.
The fifth time, on DMT again, he saw two Quetzalcoatls- serpents with feathers and tiny arms/legs, and human faces coming out of their mouths, in a distinctly Mayan style. He had visited the Maya and Aztec ruins shortly before so he now had more knowledge of the artwork (although Quetzalcoatl featured only once, at Teotihuacan, and then without a body or human face, so still he had little reference of what Quetzalcoatl looks like himself).
The sixth time, on DMT, they were very small about the size of a finger each, where again they were holding up reality, or at least holding SWIM's friend as if venerating him. SWIM has never had any repeat vision other than of these creatures, and he really likes seeing his 'little teachers'.
I remember reading a while ago (between experience 5 and 6) on here that someone mentioned some guy who wrote a book about reptilians and DMT (something crazy about them being evil aliens or something?).
And I read just now on Wikipedia that Quetzalcoatl is a very old god featuring in most of the religions of the meso-american civilisations. Most practices dictated that he opposed human sacrifice, making him one of the 'nice' gods. He represented the earth originally (apparently secondary to the water god at Teotihuacan). Also, the Aztecs believed that he was the god of wisdom, learning and books. Some Mormons even believe him to be Jesus, when he came to America for his second coming. Interesting, considering what snakes usually represents to Christians (note the guys I see are more lizards than snakes, even the twin Quetzalcoatls I saw had some very tiny arms and legs).
I wonder if these new-world drugs (DMT, salvia, LSD as a relative of LSA/LSH) unlock the older parts of our brains from when we were reptiles, and this generated both the visions of the native Americans, and SWIM's as well?

In contrast, SWIM has never seen clowns etc. He has only ever seen a jester (or was it a harlequn?) once. And anything approaching an 'alien' only once too, yet more like the offspring of alien and dwarf than actually an alien as they are 'meant' to look. Both these times were when he was spending a lot of time on this site so he expects he was led by the stories and artwork here. Whereas he doesn't spend any time in contact or thinking about reptiles.
