Sometimes this can be a really perceptible component that can be found uncomfortable to varying degrees. (Something that I have always been perplexed by is feeling both hot and cold at the same time.)
I have felt both hot and cold at the same time on DMT, and that leads me to the belief that we're not necessarily perceiving a fluctuation in body temperature. After all, perceived temperature can be quite subjective and even relative to an extent as can be observed by swimming in a warm pool, getting in the hot tub and returning to...an
ice cold pool. I think that DMT may have the ability to isolate this internal thermometer, and turn the dials a bit. Sometimes various entities or objects in hyperspace can be exceptionally warm to the touch.
I've been cold in and when returning from hyperspace, I've been hot, and as said before, I've been hot and cold at the same time. When you're cold, as Trout mentioned, a blanket does a world of good.
