Reading THIS post, i was struck 'by some similarities with some of my trips, that actually triggered a memory. I'm intrigued by the similarities of DMT space, not only how disparate individuals seem to have very similar trips, but that also i myself tend to go to the same places. I know that there is a 'topography ' of my dream space, in that there are locales i visit repeatedly as the stage for my nocturnal adventures. I'm not so convinced that DMT space is so subjective. That is, are there archetypal- for lack of a better term ,maybe someone can help me flesh that one out- spaces that we visit? That suggests it can be mapped. ..

But i digress, my apologies. What intrigued me about H.O.'s post was his mention of an entity standing at the periphery of his vision, as well as the hands they saw. On a couple/few of my most powerful trips ,I've been aware of an all-black featureless figure that approaches, or walks around me, then disappears for the remainder. This happened on my most recent breakthrough, I perceived this being walking directly toward me on what seemed like a path of distorted light carved out of the actual space of the forest. Can't recall if it was OEV or CEV, i was punching through at that point and frankly doesn't matter, but i do recall seeing the forest at the same time.

Sounds terrifying doesn't it, it kinda reminds me of Sauron in the Smaug movie when he tussles with Gandalf, lol! This being, while having a fearsome appearance, doesn't elicit a fearful response from me, usually i take notice, then my attention is drawn away and i forget about it. It almost seems to be able to wipe itself from my mind, or it feels so 'natural' that i don't really pay notice, its a strange reaction i observe in myself with this. Otherwise, no interaction.

I have no clue what this thing is/represents/manifests ( i have no clue what the reality and function of entities period is.. .)but I'm wondering, have any of y'all encountered this? In these similar, familiar spaces, perhaps there are residents, or its some archetype? I've never felt threatened, or anything but astonished at this thing.

I see shadow people in my peripheral. I consider it evil. Autonomous awareness but not sentient. Much different than archetypal entities. These shadow people are extremely quick. I wonder if others experience it.

During shrooms I got into contact with a black-entity. If the inner-world is like a space he seemed to be at the very top. I only really noticed him when I gazed upward. He was pretty big and stretched out far. He was like an observer. He had colored dots in it. So he wasn't all black. It was chrome-black too. He demanded some sense of respect from me when I interacted with him. But it wasn't that bad. He seemed curious that I could see him. Anyway, he reminded me of a 'black' entity that Hyperspace Fool once described.

During the same trip I actually got DMT-esque visuals and was approached by a Jester-like figure that jumped in and out of the patterns. I could swear someone here described this very entity with exactly the same behavior. Him and his cousing said they would help me break-through and transmorphed into beings sitting on thrones.

Yep I have experienced this exactly. A jester like figure that seemed to jump of the 4D morphing soup... At the time I assumed it was just because I had been reading about Terrence and his self transforming machine elves...though mine didn't look machine like at all. It looked like a jester as you describe... and he literally jumped out the visions and back into them.. did it several times over the corse of one experience.. never saw in again.. this was on smoked DMT.

Peace.

I encountered a dark figure with a white question mark on it's chest last summer. Was very strange.
This entity seemed to be showing me visions & had a very mischevious vibe about it. Almost as if it was not supposed show me these things but couldn't resist.
This same entity communicated with me via thought & later jumped into my consciousness. At that point i was coming back & heard music playing in reality that had a strange effect. Almost as if the music was information programmed into sound & each sound corresponded with a different movement. My body was reacting to the music without my consent & different tones & pitches would cause certain movements which felt automatic. I was not doing the movements, they were just happening.

This thing seems to be the only truly exogenous entity I've run into. No archetypal form, no suit of any kind. My last trip where it came out of the woods, it seemed to come towards me with such deliberation. It seems to 'bring' the trip with him, and its male. I've always felt DMT as a very male entity, with androgyne aspects. Marybe it is DMT? It is a shining darkness, like made out of the void i witnessed in Samadhi. Perhaps it is black because it is the pregnant void, it is made of potential. Hmm, like maybe this is the thing that put on the Kalli suit avg destroyed me. As relatedherein this post. I forgot the part about the black guy until now. ..

The all black entity is Death. Void of life. Pure darkness. Yin.

Under certain circumstances, encountering pure yin can be helpful. Under the wrong circumstances can be fatal.

^ this is very applicable to my situation with it.

Nah that's just Jeff.

You may have a point

A dark, menacing entity once tried to climb into my mouth.

I was breathing deeply with my mouth wide open, in a sort of communication with a beautiful flower type entity. It felt like my breath connected me with her. Suddenly, out of the shadows, a dark entity crept up and tried to climb into my mouth. It was totally black and insect like - almost like a black version of Infectedstyle's profile picture.

I barely saw it coming. It was by total instinct that I recoiled and stopped it from entering me, by cutting off my breath. We then glared at each other for a bit - it seemed really pissed off. I remember kind of taunting it, saying 'Haha - nice try - douce bag,' whilst simultaneously squaring up to it.

Despite the complete and utter bizzareness of what was happening, I felt no fear.

The entity then got even more pissed off. It started to replicate itself, it splodged and multiplied, spreading cancerous like brown dots all over the place - rapidly covering everything and suffocating me like a sea of brown jellyfish.

I came to shortly after utterly baffled. It felt like an galatic fight had just taken place and I had lost. Whilst it was happening I remember thinking that this thing shouldn't be there and that hyperspace was in trouble!

This sneak attack, if indeed it was an attack, obviously left me rattled - I didn't go anywhere DMT for months afterwards.
