For me the DMT experience was like unlocking a new part of myself. I acquired new interests, new hobbies, became more conscious of how I interact with others. Another thing that happened is that I became acutely tuned to the emotional state of people around me.

Prior to DMT I was kind of a jock, pretty arrogant, vain and materialistic. Chasing after the latest hot ride, boat, bigger nicer house etc. I still like those things but they're no longer the purpose I live my life for. Went from buying designer clothing to shopping at Ross. Arrogance turned to humility, I don't look down on anyone anymore, everyone is fighting a battle, now I'm more inclined to help someone rather than to shit on them.

I don't know how much I learned about the nature of existence through my trip but it changed mine and I believe it was for the better. I think it was a matter of experiencing the connection to the universe we're living in, we're all part of the same experience regardless of how individualistic we feel.

As far as death goes, I've drowned before and was hit by an ied. So as soon as the trip started I completely recognized that panic you would experience before you recognize that you're about to die. But it feels like you "observe" yourself dying rather than experiencing the process, a rather detached feeling so instead of going "fuck, I'm dying" it's more like "huh, I guess this is death". It's almost like you accept it bc all of a sudden you're keenly aware that death is a part of life.

The trip itself is very different than acid or shrooms despite of the few other comments here. Shrooms and acid are like roller skates and DMT is like a rocket. Whether you keep your eyes closed or open your will see exactly the same thing, but you are still thinking very clearly. You're literally thrown into another realm of "existence" and since sleep paralysis kicks in pretty hard you're stuck for the duration of the ride which is luckily the most euphoric thing ever.

I remember that after the death feeling my living room (before disappearing completely) became covered in sumeric writing (I learned that after the trip, had no idea what sumeric even was prior to that) and then I was just surrounded by beings that were so happy to see me, they were so glad I finally came there and had all these things they wanted me to see and all these things they wanted to tell me. It is just such an information overload that I believe is why few people can accurately describe their experience.

I'm not advocating the use of drugs, I stick to coffee and nicotine, alcohol occasionally and am for the most part pretty straight edge. I've had DMT 3-4 times in the last 12 years. Everyone experiences a sub-threshold level of DMT during their sleep, so anyone demonizing it is ill informed.

I apologize for the long post. DMT was a first hallucinogenic I tried and I was around 28 ish, I've experimented with LSD and shrooms afterwards but I would definitely place those into recreational drug territory whereas DMT feels like something else entirely. Idk what happens when we die but I sure as hell hope that I get to go to that wonderful place
