Hello you interesting people,

I've been browsing forums and reading for a few days......time to say 'Hello'

There's so much great content here and the quality of the discussion is such a breath of fresh air......so thank you for that.

I've been considering experiencing DMT for some time. Not necessarily because I feel I have a specific need for it......I'm not sure I do. However, it seems a journey that I'd like to walk.

When I was just a young kid (I'm 53 now) I had an experience which has stayed with me all my life.....it echoes through me even now. I've never wanted to talk about it to any but two or three people. Most would think me quite mad if I were to talk of it, and I've never quite been able to conclude how to categorise it.
Added to which, the nature of my employment demands no talk of such things.......would be pretty much career ending.

However, the 'dream' (language can be inadequate) which I had was incredibly profound, and has never left me.

I would have been eight years old at the time. I was asleep, or dropping off, when I was roused by a tall, pale, slim, fair haired, human'ish looking being.....dressed in a, beautifully coloured, one piece kind of attire.

I remember being shocked for a split second, but he was immediately inside my head, calming me (with feelings...not words). Then he was speaking to me telepathically. I could communicate the same way. It was effortless.

he said that I should not be afraid (I wasn't by that point) and that I should come with him as there was something that he needed to show me.

I was taken onboard, what seemed to me, a spaceship.

I remember seeing other human children on board also...they were accompanied by other beings who looked the same as the one with me. He explained that he was there to take care of me only.

I liked being with him, emotionally it was calming, loving, kind.

Anyway, I got whisked off to another planet. we came in on the dark side and flew over the surface. I saw the sun break the horizon, and we flew in to the daylight.
We flew in over a small city with geometrically laid out city walls. At the time it meant nothing....but now I think of them as reminiscent of Egyptian or Incan layouts.
There was space in the city, buildings were low rise and geometric. The low sun bathed them in a lovely gold light....I remember thinking how beautiful.
We landed in an open space, on a slightly raised, large rectangular area. There were many of these 'people' there.....several hundred. They looked to be moving from somewhere and too somewhere....as if going about a normal day. We were looking down on them slightly.
I stepped out of the (I hate saying space ship......but I don't know any other words) craft.

My guide was next to me. After a moment all the people who were there in the square (hundreds of them) stopped and turned to look at me.

I was then hit with the most powerful wave of love and light. They were all in my head.....communicating their love. I don't have the words to describe it. It was beyond beautiful.....I seemed filled with light also.
Never before and never since.
I did not want it to end.
I have no idea of time...
But it did end and I was told 'This is something that you needed to know, that we needed to show you. It will be important in the future, we are showing others too'
Then it was time to go. I said that I did not want to.....I was told that I had to.
I don't remember much else.....I was too overwhelmed.

So, rather incredibly, I've just gone and told my crazy dream to a forum of goodness knows how many people.

I've lived with this 'thing' all my life......I don't really categorise it as I don't know how to.
It just was, and is, profound.
I have had a couple of 'out of body' experiences in later in life......but they did not feel like this.

What it has done is leave me with many questions. The feeling that there is more than we are able to see........dimensions, realities......that our minds, our souls, are capable of so much more.......that somewhere we have lost ourselves.

I feel that I was somehow primed for a journey........perhaps DMT is a part of it.

So, I've been wading through the forums here.

I have collected what is need to extract. Q2121 tek2 being the mode of choice.

I'm a nerd so I'll probably get busy with that......because it looks like fun.

As far a taking the next step......well, I'll take the time to prepare.
I'll need some quiet mindful time, some freeing of the bonds of my everyday.
I'm on my own with this.....which does give me some concern....it would be nice to have someone watch over me when the time comes.

I have a fairly open minded brother who I know has tried acid and shrooms......I may broach this with him at some point and see how it's received.

Anyway, that's my mad story. It is what it is......even if I don't know what it is!

Thanks for this amazing resource.

All the best to you all.

I should probably add, I spent many years of my life sailing great oceans on yachts of one sort or another......whether cruising, racing, delivering.....
The sea, the ocean, is a majestic place, awe inspiring, humbling, merciless, never to be treated lightly.......but a home none the less...

So far from land, on the smallest fragment of a 'thing made by men'.....one loses much of the pretence of 'normal life'.....one changes, deeply. Much of the artifice of 'who you are' gets stripped away.....and you are left naked and humbled in the face of the sea.

Coming back to land, having been away for a while, is hard.

This experience has shaped me too......and is also partly responsible for me being here.

Hello and welcome to the Nexus.

Your writing style is very engaging. From your nautical experience it sounds like you would be, come the day, ready to give DMT the respect it deserves as well.

Those kinds of bizarre childhood experiences are surprisingly commonplace, if qualitatively widely diverse and divergent from the one that you describe. If it were written without the context, it would be easy to mistake it for an actual DMT trip. I had a number of odd, non-ordinary states of consciousness occur quite spontaneously at various points in my childhood. I'm not sure if they predisposed me towards a path including exploration of psychedelics; maybe they did.

Whatever, the upshot is I'll be able to keep an eye out for any updates of your extraction process and offer guidance there if required. It sounds like you'll have a methodical approach and that can only help you. Truth be told, extracting DMT is no more difficult than baking a cake.

I'll be intrigued to find what you make of 'the beyond' (you've probably noticed many people refer to it as hyperspace). Perhaps you'll find it oddly familiar.

See you around, take care.

DF0, Thank you for your welcome, it's much appreciated.
I'll relay the the catastrophe of my first extraction and further adventures. 😆

Airpig, thanks for sharing your dream with us. This is not a mad story at all. When I was around ten years old I have had dreams like that too. And more than one.

And for me the same as what downwardsfromzero says, my childhood dreams have a close resemblance to my DMT experiences in later life.

Good luck with your extractions. Believe me, you will not regret taking DMT. But better to smoke changa .
