Let's start with a basic definition of 'a trip'.
A trip consists of a sensory experience, which is the perception of a temporary or permanent change in one's surroundings. For example: "A person may have a spiritual awakening on psychedelics – an epiphany that can be life-changing.
A trip is a temporary state, which will either end or change after a short time. For example: "An alcohol-induced blackout may last for several hours.
A trip is a sensory experience that may be deemed as desirable, or not. For example: "A high-quality marijuana strain can provide an amazing and uplifting experience.
The state of a person on DMT can be described as 'tripping'. For example: "DMT is an incredibly intense and profound psychedelic experience.
The word 'trip' is often used in colloquial speech to denote a bad experience. For example: "A person may be said to have had a bad trip if they were scared or became paranoid, as this is not the desired effect of DMT. Conversely, a good (or great) trip refers to an enjoyable and uplifting experience.
A DMT trip is a bit like when you are dreaming but slightly less real and more colorful, with brighter colors. It's very psychedelic because it feels as if you are seeing things from a different dimension or universe. You feel that your mind has split into two parts: the part of your self that still exists within consensus reality, and another part which exists in this other realm.
It seems that DMT is able to temporarily give you access to an alternate dimension or universe, but only for a short time. It feels like the part of yourself which exists in this other realm begins to take over your normal state of consciousness as it becomes more and more vivid and intense.
This alternate state of consciousness is more real than consensus reality because it's a lot like dreaming, but you are still awake. It feels as if you have entered into another dimension or universe where time and space behave differently. In this other realm, thoughts form at an incredible speed.
The alternate realm is not exactly like the dream world, but has many similarities. When you are dreaming, time moves much more slowly than in consensus reality. But when you take DMT and enter this alternate state of consciousness, your thoughts move at an incredible speed.
This alternate dimension or universe is also more colorful and bright than consensus reality, because DMT causes the brain to release more colors.
You feel as if you are in another dimension or universe because the alternate state of consciousness which DMT brings about feels very different from normal waking consciousness. It seems that your mind has split into two parts: one part exists within consensus reality, and the other part exists in this other realm.
The experiences we have while on DMT cannot be explained by human language. The closest verbal approximation of the experience would be 'a simulation'.
DMT is a hallucinogen that can be synthesized from plants and other substances. The experience it creates in humans cannot be explained by science, philosophy, or our understanding of the world.
The first time I tried it, I was convinced that I had been transported to a parallel universe. When the experience ended and I returned to baseline consciousness, my mind could not comprehend what had just happened.
The experience is simply too alien.
DMT is most commonly smoked. It vaporizes at a low temperature and easily enters the bloodstream through the lungs.
The first time I tried DMT, it was in the form of a crystal. The second time, it was vaporized and inhaled through a bong.
I was talking to a guy who is just coming out of dmt hyperspace, and he said that its like being in the matrix. i have only smoked it once but i did not experience anything close to that particular movie at all. so what exactly does it feel like?
I think i understand how dmt feels. at least the closest approximation that i can come up with is this:
It feels like your soul is being ripped from your body. well, not exactly. it's more of a feeling that you are about to experience this. the reason why i say this is because when i was smoking and i felt myself coming up on the dmt high, my heart started pounding really hard for some weird reason. then when i exhaled ,it seemed as if my chest had been torn open by something extremely powerful.
but that's just the beginning. then, i began to feel waves of intense emotions coming on. it was as if all my positive and negative feelings had been unleashed at once.
I started to feel extremely sad and lonely.
then i felt extremely mad and angry.
A DMT trip is a sensation, an experience. The reality of what happens in the brain during a DMT trip is very complex, and it's hard to explain with words - but let us try anyways.
A fungus called psilocybin (or simply 'shrooms') grows in many different environments, including cow dung or rotten wood on the ground. These mushrooms contain psilocybin as well as other chemicals that can make humans feel strange if ingested or inhaled.
There are many ways to get these 'shrooms, you can buy them in a store and eat or smoke them. The chemicals in the mushrooms will then make you feel strange.
The being will appear in your mind, and it may be entirely alien. It might not make sense to you at all. The whole experience will last twenty minutes or so.
A DMT trip is a very strange experience. It's like an acid trip, but more intense and faster acting.
It is possible that a DMT trip will be nothing like what you expect. It's also possible that it'll be exactly what you expected.
A DMT trip is a strong psychedelic. A 'trip' is when someone uses something to alter their consciousness, and that's what happens with DMT.
I think that the most accurate way to describe a DMT trip, is to say 'it's like you are suddenly plugged into the underlying matrix of reality itself'. Now this may sound a bit far fetched, but I believe it is actually very true. Here is my reasoning:
When a person takes DMT, they are usually sitting in a room or lying on their back. This is called the 'default mode' of the brain - it's where we spend most of our lives when awake and not focused on anything specific.
On DMT, the world around a person is not changed at all. Their visual field will appear normal, and they will see the same things they normally do. However their conscious experience of this reality is completely different.
Imagine you are in a room, and suddenly the walls dissolve away. What was once solid is now gone, and there is just 'the world', empty space.
And you are a tiny little dot in this empty space. You can somehow sense that there is not just one of you, but many. In fact the number of dots out there seems to be infinite.
However you are not alone. All around you there is a strange, insect-like creature seemingly made out of smoke and shadows. It moves like a roach skittering along the ground.
A DMT trip is an experience that can be best described as the feeling of a soul leaving your body, and travelling to another dimension. This other dimension appears to have much more vibrant colors than our physical reality; it also contains intelligent entities who are able to speak with you telepathically.
The entities in this dimension will communicate with you, and guide your life. It appears that these entities are able to read your mind, as they can tell what you want to know even before you ask them something.
It appears that these entities can give you any experience that you want, such as the feeling of being a god like figure. In this dimension beings are able to shape their own reality.
The entities will also give you a glimpse of your future.
The entities only exist in this other dimension. They are not present in our physical world, however they can send you back messages through your dreams, which then allow you to make better decisions in the real world.
I think that the entities in this dimension are able to read our thoughts and intentions. It seems like they can also see into the future.
DMT is often associated with visual hallucinations, but this isn't its primary action. It primarily increases the feeling of connectedness between one's self and the world around one, which can be described as a sense of oneness. The world appears to have some kind of order or pattern to it that one hadn't noticed before while sober.
In other words, DMT is more about perception than the hallucinations themselves.
The feeling of oneness, however, can be so overwhelming that it feels like one is dying. This may be why people describe 'going to heaven' or 'dying and going to hell'.
These are just labels people give to the experience, but one can never truly know what it is like to die or go to heaven. Referring back to my earlier point, I believe that DMT offers a more accurate and complete perception of reality than sober consciousness. This may be why it feels so real.
DMT is also associated with telepathy, which may be why some people claim to have had a conversation with God while on DMT. Again, it would require altering one's perception of reality in order to really know whether or not this was true.
Like I said earlier, DMT is primarily associated with visual hallucinations, which is what makes it so popular. This type of experience may be an effect of increased perception.
A DMT trip is a period of time where one feels that they have left their body and are experiencing transcendent feelings of joy, bliss, and wonder. The feeling has been described as similar to having an orgasm or being stoned on cannabis.
The person who has left their body is aware that they have done so and can sometimes not return to their physical body for a period of time.
The experience is usually only felt by a person's subconscious and not understood exactly. The reason for this may be that the conscious mind cannot comprehend it due to its complexity, or it may be because one's consciousness must return to their body.
There are many theories of what DMT is. One theory, a theory that I hold, is that it is the material synthesized by one's brain when experiencing the feeling of existing in an alternate universe or reality. This reality may be a place where we are able to access information about our universe but have no physical way to reach.
Another theory is that DMT allows us to access information about our universe by allowing the user to experience being in a physical body, but only as an observer and not actually controlling their actions. This may be due to some kind of higher power or intelligence which controls the human mind.
This experience is often interpreted as being the existence of a mind in parallel or on top of our universe. The user may see visual representations of this consciousness, like some kind of computer code or a map.
Firstly, the most common experience of Dmt is one of extreme acceleration. This is often described as 'being catapulted into hyperspace' or 'teleporting to another universe'. The experience can be highly stimulating, and many users describe it as a trip that moves too fast to keep up with. If I had to choose between this description and another one, I would say that dmt experiences are like going down an incredibly steep mountain on a roller coaster car at high speed. It's important not only because it does happen but also because it captures some key features of the psychedelic state.
Secondly, it is also important to note that dmt experiences involve a great deal of entanglement with other minds. Dmt users often speak of the 'machine elves', who are entities created by the human mind itself in order to better understand and explain these experiences. In my opinion this shows that we have no simple way to describe what happens after ingesting dmt: it is something unlike anything we've ever experienced.
Thirdly, and perhaps most importantly, is the fact that dmt seems to show people a world different from ours. It's not just an 'altered state' of consciousness; the user sees something entirely new and foreign to our experience.
The above features are what I would consider to be the 'defining characteristics of dmt' and they make it clear that dmt is not like other drugs. It's true that there are certain similarities between them, but as we briefly discussed in class, plants and animals have many properties in common too.
Dmt is an incredibly complex and fascinating substance, and I would encourage you to read about it further if you haven't already done so. I hope this answers your question.
