Yep! After I discovered DMT last year, I was like,
"oh my god, the phosphenes look just like a trip". They seem especially vivid when you are tired and / or near a sleep state. Some people also call them hypnagogic visuals.
To this day I'm still unsure if DMT rewires your mind to let all that stuff through, or if the experience just makes you pay more attention to something you ignored before.
I don't want comfort. I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness. I want a clever signature.
