had a very cool experience...i realized that when you dmt trip while wearing a sleep mask, blocking all the light out, it doesn't matter if your eyes were open or closed...

i can't even begin to express how amazing it felt to see "hyperspace' / my dmt trip in front of me with my eyes open like a three dimensional projection. it genuinely felt like the sleep mask was a vr headset...though i'll be honest i've never used a vr headset.

anyway has anyone else ever tried this? im very curious

Thank you for your post.
After reading your post I got me a sleep mask as well.
I am really fighting to keep my eyes closed.
Dont know why.
I am excited about the experience.
Havent tried it yet tho.

this is a great idea! will have to try it out soon
safe travels!

Why do you need the mask? Just close the eyes. Feeling something on the face is awful.

For me, sometimes it feels like it takes too much extra energy or thought to keep my eyes closed, or light coming through your eyelids or from the edges can influence things. The mask allows me to have a nice clean closed-eye experience without other sensory input or having to think about trying to keep my eyes closed.

If you have a well fitting mask that blocks out everything and also allows you to open your eyes it really can add another layer to the
experience too, VR-like, as ilisuc said. You can move your head and look around with your eyes and feels like you are looking around at things. Having your eyes closed make things feel a perhaps a bit more static and locked in and just doesn't have the same feel to me. I never really noticed the mask to be a negative, then again I've worn it for extended periods for plenty of mushrooms trips so I have gotten pretty used to it as well.

Getting the right mask for your face can be tough. I had the perfect one, then wore it out after years of using it during trips and couldn't get another, then I had to try several different ones until finding one that fit just right to be comfortable, block all light, and let me open my eyes.

i understand what you mean. i second what RowRowRowYourBoat said..if you can find a mask that doesn't even feel like it's there, that's ideal.
