Hey JiayoJames,

I've had that happen to me a couple of times. I think it means your does might have been a bit too high, but then it could be a number of factors that play a role. Quite frankly, we don't have the data to know for sure what causes what kind of experience, if they can be predicted or caused at all. I suppose from what you write you feel good about it though, so take it for what it's worth. dmt works in mysterious ways. You still might find some value in the whole thing, you might remember things in the days to come or you may crystalize this feeling inside of you and let it grow into... something... test out the newness of the sensations...

try a lower dose next time and see what happens.

The DMT experience has many similar traits to a normal dream. In similar ways we can remember them.

Have a pen and paper next to where you spice….As soon as you come back start writing. A tape recorder is also useful. For a while I would draw something that really stuck out in my mind when I would come back. I am not an artist by ANY stretch of the imagination, but they to this day remind me of those experiences and what happened.

Breakthroughs are usually difficult to remember when you go deep enough.

A weird phenomenon I have experienced is that after you have spiced enough you start going, “oh yeah, I remember now, this is just like my experience 2 years ago when……” This usually occurs about 10-20 seconds after that third toke. I recently had a “sub-breakthough” after drinking a substantial amount of Caapi where many of my past experiences with spice were shown to me in some way (ineffable). This has been happening with increasing frequency.

Was this the first experience you've had with spice? When I am deep in my trips and see something really profound, I try to make a mental note of it so I will not forget. Obviously, like you mentioned this is not always easy because there is a lot going on, but maybe try Acolon's suggestions. I may try doing using this method in my future experiences and see how I like it. I have yet to have a decent trip that I remember 100% of. Just try different things to see what works best for you, and good luck! Report back after your next experience

Strengthening ones awareness is an exercise just like anything else.
It takes practice to remember.
The more you remember, the more you can remember.

Thanks for the great responses!

I will definitely try your suggestions, acolon_5.

z0mbie, this was not my first experience, but it was of a different category or higher order than my previous experiences.

Since writing 'there was a sense of things going through my mind at a rate entirely too fast to comprehend' I have been able to recall that part of the experience more vividly. It was not just things going through my mind quickly, but rather a very explicit sense of thoughts occurring/moving too rapidly for me to comprehend them, that they were impossible to keep up with. This was followed by (and I believe linked to) a cascade/surge of implicit understanding or insight that I can't quite seem to put my finger on...

Wow a pen and paper is a great suggestion.

I have been having pretty deep journeys lately and I have found for myself that as soon as I am back it is helpful to not focus on specific things I have seen, but more on what the underlying message or message's was/were. How do I feel the in the first moments that I am "back" and what was it all about. If I do this as soon as I come back into my body I am able to take larger pieces of information out of these fully immersive voyages I am having. At the time they seem overwhelming, but breaking it down into a few pieces I have found to be very helpful, not focusing on every visual aspect, just focusing on ME when I get back.

I have found that the more comfortable I get with going deeper, the more I am able to proess and integrate into this world. Once I stopped trying to remember everything I was able to get so much more out of the experiences.

It is like anything, it takes practice
