Incredible experience a few weeks back, still processing and sketching the outlines of what I can...


Took a drive down to Assateague state park in Maryland with a few friends, we've been looking forward to this for some time. I have had only one previous experience combining mushrooms with change which was beautiful, but cautious with dosing and was looking greatly forward to a more full experience. Assateague is a state park barrier island that we camped at, removed from the city lights I am so used to and a sky full of stars like I have never seen.

We arrived around 2pm, set up camp and relaxed until closer to sundown to consume our mushrooms. The usual hour of slightly anxious waiting was more pleasant than usual given the wonderful surroundings. Endless beach in both directions, patterned footstep shadows and cooing sea birds and a rolling surf that provided the most soothing sounds I have heard in some time. The rhythm of the ocean set me so at ease that the tense feelings I usually have during the mushroom come-up were completely vanquished... I felt the ebb and flow of all of my bodily rhythms syncing with the push and pull of the waves. I almost cried as the waves of the ocean mimicked the waves of the psilocybin onset, overwhelming me and relaxing into the breathing organism of the ocean. There is nothing like this for hallucinogens in my opinion. Like the universe itself is breathing.

We enjoyed the initial hour or two of the pastel sunset over the ocean, the shadows deepening across the sand and everything ALIVE in a way that it always has been, un-noticed, breathing beneath our naked feet. It was bliss.

After sunset, the stars like I have never seen them blanketed the sky in undulating, organic music. I felt so a part of all that is, not seperated in the least. I had these mini-hallucinations of not being as Alan Watts often described, a "skin-encapsulated ego" but everything that is and will ever be. The universe took on the quality of an endlessly flowing river, even a stone is a river, just a slow moving one. An enormous sympathy overtook me... a sympathy for everything that exists... we are all this thing, undefinable, immense and so far beyond thoughts and conceptions that it completely blew me away. Any map I could make of this experience paled in comparison the experience of just being 'IT'.

We lit a campfire (very difficult when you are tripping your brains out), and settled into it's warmth. Felt kinda like Prometheus when we finally got it going, such a basic human accomplishment even if we were aided by lighters

I rolled a 1:1 caapi alkaloid changa and smoked it with my friends in front of the firepit. The transition to hyperspace was effortless and so smooth that this has become my favorite combination. No anxiety, no pre-flight jitters, just like instantly walking through the membrane and into a world of wonder.

As I held my third hit from the joint, everything became bright bright white... the space I was in became an unfolding and geometrically complex dodecahdron... It was like space itself was unfolding into many many dimensions. The white walls were permeated by light blue skeleton framework, dancing and expanding. In between the skeleton of this cube-space were textured walls of kaleidoscopic wonder... It reminded me somewhat ridiculously of the patterns used in backrounds of early mactintosh computers... digital and artificial and wonderfully familiar. These patterns formed the sort of "room" that I found myself in, in which the patterns themselves became objects... lots of pyramids and early humans - the early humans were sort of the theme of this journey. A kind of vaguely perceptible but instantly understood neanderthal or some other conception of neanderthals around a fire, roasting fish on s spit and communicating in grunts and whistles.


This is the second time that I have had what I guess is 'entity' contact, though its so fuzzy and hard to articulate. I am sure these visions were informed by the tremendous effort that it took to get this fire going, and the basic human teamwork that it took to provide for our basic needs. It is so hard to describe... it was like a dream or thoughts that became visceral, but I distinctly remember these 3D images of early humans around fire. It felt great, like the greatest sense of accomplishment.

This lasted less than 8 minutes... it was so fast and dreamlike, and disinegrated into a re-uptake of the typical mushroom visuals that I usually get but with this tremendous sense of connection with the universe and complete lack of self.... I felt like the whole thing that i was experiencing, not an onlooker but a COMPONENT.



I am still relatively new to DMT, would you experienced uses consider this a breakthrough? I have taken DMT probably 20-30 times by this point, and have yet to distinguish a barrier between light and heavy experiences other than intensity of involvement and presence of 'entities'. My only previous entity contact was an elephant headed man beating a drum in a tapestried room of incredible complexity. I have been tripping for 20 years, and suspect that this background has made the notion of "BREAKING THROUGH" less dramatic as I have been almost there so many times that the added intensity of DMT just feels like a further step into familiar ground.



Any comments appreciated, this was a wonderful journey for me

great job transcribing your experience

. I too have enjoyed this combo on an ocean on the other side of the same continent. Reading your account felt very similar to some of my experiences, what with the bird sounds, breathing of the ocean and stars like you've never seen before.

from what you describe it well seems like you broke through, but I can't know for sure. ONly you can know really, but when you do know you won't need to ask.

thanks again for sharing, you hit the nail on the head with the birds, oceans, and stars.
