You have had the classic, textbook dmt experience ... but still, wtf is this all about, eh? Hehehehe. Let me know if you figure it out ;-D
I'd recommend you do a search on clowns on the nexus, very interesting stuff which might shed light on your
dislike of them. I think there was a thread called 'the origin of clowns' a few months ago, very interesting.
The jungian idea is that the jester is the gateway to the irrational, the unconscious, the sublime ... the guardian and the guide. If you don't like clowns, hyperspace is crawling with them, so maybe have a good look at your aversion ...
Safe travels, friend
