After smoking quite a bit of spice today, I fell into this pretty weird trance. I felt possessed by this red spirit that would flow through me, it's all pretty hazy in my memory but at one point this dryness in my mouth started spreading and it had a horrible taste, tasted like death. Initially I ignored it, but it kept getting worse and worse, until I thought I was dying. Immediately I got up and served myself a glass of water. I noticed how incredibly fast my heart was beating and I realized I needed to calm down, even though I was scared shitless. I told myself I was OK for about a minute or so until my heartbeat was better. Has anyone experienced anything like this? What exactly is that dryness?

btw by 'I' means SWIM

yeah always good to drink lots of water

i'm not sure about he the dryness your referring to but on extended forays into spice land i always have plenty of water and mints handy .

i've had that red thing your talking about approach like a shark from the left side and go right around inside the back of my head.

Death is dry and crunchy... ask Ayahuasca!

Topping up a fantastic glass of water is a MUST for ritual preparations. Never leave consensus reality without it!

Woah, excellent description.

I did a bongrip once and the taste of DMT was extra strong, my mouth and throat went completely dry and I had to go to the sink while peaking. My throat was closing up and it was hard to drink the water. I stayed pretty calm all things considered. I think it may have something to do with purity though I always wash and freeze precip my spice. I now make sure to drink plenty of water. This is good advice for any phycedelic, I usually become dehydrated.
