Evaluation / notes:

a few breakthroughs under my belt, this was my first experience where i felt i had my senses about me somewhat. as terence said 'do not give way to astonishment'. i felt observant. i was appreciative and ecstatic of the sheer beauty of the space, but avoided gettting mired in the intricate details or blown away by the profundity this time (ok...still profoundly blown away in retrospect) things seemed a bit more concrete and manifest... rather than translucent ethereal and dreamlike. without a mg scale and a less than perfect smoking technique, i still feel like i'm throwing darts in a crude way, but it also seems like i'm hitting the goldilocks mark as to my desired level of progression within dmt space through some dumb luck and a bit of help from hyperspace.

REPORT
kirlian photography electro-luminescent spider webs materializing into cev field, gradually morphing into more recognizable feline striped patterns. 'picassoesque' geometrically styled feline figures, faces, and anatomy begin arising and subsiding out of this field as if i were observing these visions 'boiling' up to the surface of a liquid. entranced but aware, i recognize this as my cue to 'blink'. (with dmt visions, i've discovered i can 'blink' or flash my eyes open a split second to teleport or change visions instantaneously, much like changing the channel on a tv) hyperspace is imminent...

after the blink, i'm in a very ancient/modern deserted laboratory or study. it's dusty with lots of brassy or copper oxidized orbital translucent/glassine spheres. almost like armillary spheres encased with a translucent mica. some translucent, some solid i think were around a dozen in varying degrees of translucent/opaque. they were very organic and alive, yet static. non-transforming, a hybrid of ancient and futuristic tech. i don't sense any entities other than the various spheres which seem somewhat animated in a biological sense, simultaneously seemed like they were in stasis and not infused with an egoic 'entity' force. hibernating...

after observing a minute, i blink once again and teleport into a totally different space. immediately upon arriving, i sense a very crowded dense space, full of entities. this is my first encounter with the 'machine elves', 2 of them on both sides of my light source. (a single tea light on my bookcase about 2 ft. from the ceiling, in a 'broken glassy' enclosure giving off a nice diffuse indirect light) surrounding me just outside of visual range i perceive, but do not see, an audience of very small entities. cricket like? they are insectoid, but more of a hive mind intelligence like ants. i sense a festive mood from them... they're here for a show and i'm a guest of honor (blush) i feel like i'm about to be wowed and they are getting a giggle out of this.

wowed, i am... the elves begin producing and manifesting thin plates of stained glass, shuffling and juggling them into place. these plates are slightly flowing, and have irregular bottoms like a puzzle, but all have a uniform rounded spherical top. the speed and dexterity with which they are manipulating these plates into place seems so surreal it almost overwhelms me. it feels like i'm watching video at 10x speed or time lapse of something occurring over a long period of time. as the plates begin to stack and be manipulated into place it becomes apparent they are building some sort of contraption.

this contraption begins to solidify, from the outward perimeter toward the middle, taking on a more solid form. as they near completion, the interior glass is hexagonal in it's center and i can still faintly see the candle light source upon the bookshelf. after they had completed manifesting/building this contraption they aligned it perfectly to the lightsource so it would specifically shine onto me. the unseen audience was also in awe, like the elves has just pulled off an elaborate magic trick. it resembled some sort of telescopic device, but not in a magnifying way. it seemed i was in a 'spotlight' of sorts... i found this so hilarious i laughed out loud and exclaimed to my sitter something we can't specifically remember, but overall that i was astounded and amazed this was happening. i felt that this scenario had run it's course and i blinked again...

teleportation into a completely different space/scenario... i'm in a domed/conical space that feels like it's at the very top of something, with a much larger space underneath. i'm observing what appears to be a superbowl trophy on top of a pedestal (i'm not interested in sports or football at all fyi) the object on top of the pedestal is shaped much more like an egg than a football. it seems to be made of metal, but with a glassy translucent viewing portal to the interior. estimating the size i would say it appeared to be about 6 ft. on the longest axis. inside it appeared to be incredibly complex and have a connection to the 'universe' as a supercomputer or something. i started to perceive a secondary light source coming over my right shoulder, shining upon it.

i then sense a shadowy figure approaching from within this light source in my peripheral vision. i could sense a presense coming up on my right side... i didn't turn my head to look but focused my awareness that way. as this entity comes into my visual field, i perceive it to be a giant beetle around 7ft. tall and around 4 ft. wide. it seemed headless, as most of the other promient entities in my visions so far. as it entered more fully into my visual field, i was entranced by the robe it was wearing. i was giving way to the intricacy and beauty of the robe, it was jeweled and fractal. i just wanted to gaze into it's splendor...

i withdrew back into my own space, alongside this beetle entity and it came up beside me. it was looking at the ovoid orbital thing on the pedestal, and i got a sense of empathy. that is was a caretaker of this space and the object, but was just as amazed and perplexed by it as me and we were both gazing upon it in wonder. the beetle entity seemed powerful, but no more than myself. not friendly, but not unfriendly either. it just was...

we gazed upon this ovoid/spherical object and my vision began to fade a bit. i opened my eyes to see if the vision remained, but i had returned to my room. i told my sitter something to the effect of experiencing unequaled amazement...

Interesting read. I also often find my visions similar to yours with the entities building at great speed.

TY for sharing!

Weird that you mention the beetle, though. Its funny. I felt like I was in inner space where I saw this beetle going about its business such as maintaining the place, who did not seem to pay any attention to my presence. The place had a reddish over glow.

Thanks for the report, I think its amazing or unbelievable in a sense, that you can just blink your eyes and have the scenery or landscape completely shifted and recreated..Does anyone else have any thoughts on this phenomenon?

thanks for the responses, it's nice to see that this resonates with others. i too am curious if anyone experiences the blink(teleport?) phenomenon. the next experience i plan to post is one continuous experience, but i didn't want to disturb the flow of that one. i'm wondering if the ease with which i'm able to shift into a completely different scenario is typical? i don't feel like i'm able to control the content of the vision, but the space itself seems somewhat navigable.

i wonder if at higher doses the blink response would still work and if the persistence of visions would remain? i can't quite remember if i've tried to open my eyes when fully immersed, but it seems that toward the end of my journies that the space is fading and not able to overcome the open eyed visual input.

the blink/flash trick seems interesting to say the least. i could see this being useful in an 'in case of emergency break glass' scenario, but at the same time i'm not one to shy away from uncomfortable or frightening experiences just because i don't 'like' them. i'd be much more inclined to want to exit if things got boring... however, i find value in the whole spectrum of experience, not just what i think it should be.

also curious if others have trouble making out faces or heads of entities in their visions? i seem to have difficulty focusing on certain 'key' features at this point, and tend to be drawn more toward the intricacies and pieces rather than specifically identifying features such as a face.

I get the blinking 'phenomenon' as well, just had it on a few bongfulls of changa It doesn't seem to affect the overall mood of the trip, just the imagery...

and yeah, here is a drawing of a recent ish experience, the features depicted are pretty much what I made out. I have had some entities with much more distinguishable features, but ever morphing none the less...
