If so, tell me about it.
Most intense trip I ever had was from smoking DMT. I had tried shrooms and acid before and that was cool and all, but this was entirely different. As soon as I exhaled I could feel it coming on. I looked at my phone to see what time it was and everything on the screen immediately turned to actual hieroglyphics in front of my eyes. As if my brain could no longer understand written symbols.
This shit was INTENSE. First, the room became cartoonified, or almost like cel-shading in a video game. Literally every time I blinked the room would change just a little and I had to look around to spot the difference and as soon as I did, it changed again in a flash. This went on for idk how long, felt like forever.
There was this overwhelming feeling that this wasn’t just some chemicals in my brain but that I had stumbled onto something I wasn’t supposed to see and was being messed with by some kind of trickster god trying to fuck with me for coming into their dimension. But also maybe trying to teach me something?
I sat and looked into the mirror and watched the bones move around in my face as I turned into a thousand different people who looked nothing like me, but my eyes always stayed the same, just staring back at me from an unrecognizable face.
And then as suddenly as it started, it was over and I’m just lying there thinking these same thoughts over and over, first: “hoooly shit” but then “we’re all connected” “life is worth living” but also “I don’t think I’m afraid of dying anymore”
This was over two years ago and I still remember it vividly, as if it was just yesterday.
I highly recommend it, just be safe.
Pro-tip: There are recordings of shamanic songs used in ayahuasca ceremonies called Icaros you can find online that are supposed to gently guide you through the trip. The calm repetitive beat made all the difference.
I don’t really know how to really explain it but I was on DMT and I saw what I can only describe as “the eye of God” and it saw me. Like I know for sure that an insanely powerful presence looked right at me. It honestly scared me, not that it was hostile it was just so powerful and I’d caught it’s attention. It’s been like five or six years since that trip and I still remember it perfectly. I know I sound like one of old crazy burnouts but I fully believe what I saw and felt was something real.
Other then that I’ve seen a ton of super pretty lights.
like a truly crazy visual or hallucination? no.
but during a stupid period of my young life, i tried an eighth of shrooms and another time i did a ten strip of acid. so if ego death is cool, i’ve seen it. i literally forgot who i was, i didnt even know that time existed. i was a history major in college, and i remember when I was coming out of the trip i was reminding myself of simple things that definitely existed.
I’m done with psychs for the foreseeable future but I always loved watching my ego reconstruct itself. it’s so interesting to see what parts you latch back onto first
