When i really think about DMT my brain seems to respond in the strangest way, i start tripping

I feel like if my mind has been somewhere before then it can go there again on its own, and i always recall the details of my trips in the hours following the trip rather than immediately after, so it implies the mind still has access to these areas/realms you've seen before. I have the same phenomena with mushrooms, the night before a planned trip when i'm laying in bed about to fall asleep i start tripping very noticeably.

Maybe this is my minds way of saying it doesn't need psychedelics, or perhaps just my mind putting itself in the right frame to honour & respect the experience i'm about to undergo as much as possible...

Id like to hear some of your thoughts on this

You are lucky... All I ever get is a lot of anxiety and a rapid heartbeat! Normally before smoking I have to sit there with the pipe loaded and ready to go and wait until I feel somewhat relaxed.

Me too.

Yeah. Aside of the increased heart rate and what not, the only thing thinking about it does for me is make me wanna consume more...

me three lmao. i feel the ice cold net drape across my shoulders and feather up my spice to my head. =]

i also do get the anxiety before a journey. i also find when i am thinking about it i always get a mothy smell just for a brief moment though.

same!! Especially right before sleeping, I frequently see going in and coming out of the dream/trip. I have noticed that since the mind is exposed to the spice experience, it is more open and accepting to other related phenomenons/experiences, whatever it maybe. Like the tainted window's broken, fresh air's sweepin in!

I have limited experience thus far, but I also have some initial anxiety before going. Each experience thus far has been a little different with some similarities, however the intensity of the on set still causes just a little anxiety. Kind of like flying in a jet, just before take off or landing; or perhaps just before getting on stage for a play in a theater full of expectant people. Perhaps with more time/experience this nervousness will subside.

I always consistently get some anxiety and raised pulse before a DMT journey. The only thing going that has this particular effect on me prior to dosing. I do also get that weird, DMT-esque moth ball smell sometimes.

Ive realized that a decent dose of caapi or rue harmalas taken orally, sometimes with .5-1 gram of oral mimosa is the best preperation for vaped DMT or changa. Changa for me does not do what ayahuasca does..I mean it can bring me to the place of an ayahuasca peak..but the jounrey there is not the same, and something is missing both on the way up and down..

I will drink anywhere form 20-80g of caapi and lay in the dark breathing for a while before I smoke..and I dont need much..the ayahuasca will open me up and usually I will have tears in my eyes by the time Im even ready to take a hit. I really only need about 5-10mg of DMT and then I sit back...it's slower, comes on in about a minute or so and I lay down..especially If I have also had a tiny dose of oral mimosa in the ayhausca that small hit of vaped DMT or changa will just activate it and Il go for 30-40 minutes..

With DMT or changa(even with lots of harmalas) alone it can at times feel like neon colors splashing around in my head but drips away so fast and there is no translator to take the colors and tell a coherant story. With oral harmalas it is always a much more coherant experience, its deeply spiritual, and feels more transcribable with my nervous system.

I can get really shaky before DMT without oral harmalas due to what i stated above.

I think its very normal memory. Think about taking a roller coaster ride tomorrow, and the first thing it brings up is memories of those hills and curves right? Same thing here I think. Quite normal. The important thing is that your emotions seem to go right to the trippiness of it all rather than a fear or trepidation of what will happen. That is very key and indicative of a brave, calm , and spiritual soul!

What about harmine, extracted? I don't have any caapi right now, and can't really afford to get any, but plenty of rue.

I wasn't really talking about the feeling just before i vape DMT, i meant if i think about it say just lying in my bed, not even thinking about getting the GVG out, just thinking about DMT in general...

I get nervous when I think about it, as if I have a loaded bong there in my hands. It's the most stimulating, invigorating substance I can think of. Pure love, light, and life in it.

Yeah Cronich i know exactly what you are talking about. I have the exact same thing before smokina also, and with lsd an shrooms.
Last year i had spice experience for the first time, and for about 3 or 4 month, always before sleep, but stil very awaken, i always had a week version of the dmt tunnel, with very week lights, but still, a lot like the Tunnel.Amazing
