The human brain is incredibly complex and the DMT experience incredibly variable so an either or conclusion is too simplistic its more than likely all the factors combined.
People have commented before that the clarity of mind is much sharper even clinical while other say too clear and they are not able to immerse into it leading to an overwhelming flooding of sensory input... ...
I've had much experience with DMT + various racetam compounds over the last few months. My experience is not that they potentiate the DMT at all, though they certainly alter the experience. I take a regimen of either Piracetam, Oxiracetam, or Aniracetam + Alpha GPC for the last 2 months; 3 days on, 2 days off. I is worth noting that on my off-days from nootropics, I consume 200-300mg dried, ground
P. cubensis mushroom. I generally use nootropics 2 months on/2 months off.
I am a frequent visitor to hyperspace—I like to go about once a week to check up on things and give my mind a good cleaning.
The effects of all the racetam compounds are quite similar with DMT, so I'll use Oxiracetam at a dosage of 400 mg 2 x daily as my example as that was my most recent combination.
I use a dab rig for my DMT. I've found heating the nail until it is red hot and letting it cool for ~40 seconds produces consistent breakthrough trips at lower doses than other methods (25-45 mg depending on potency). I have not had a sub-breakthrough trip until I began taking racetams again.
At 10:00 AM I took 400 mg Oxiracetam. 4 hours later I prepared and vaporized 45 mg of very pure DMT. I felt the same nostalgic warmth during the come up, but it almost felt like I was simply going through the motions because I was so familiar with what to expect from that dose of DMT. Colors and sounds were enhanced much more than on DMT alone.
I found your statement that
"clarity of mind is much sharper even clinical" to be an accurate description of the trip. It was as if I was experiencing my breakthrough vicariously through someone nearby. I caught the occasional figure in my peripheral, and there were some closed-eyed visuals but my ability to
"let go" was vastly diminished.
That word,
clinical... that is exactly how it felt. Part of my mind was exploring hyperspace, while another part of my mind was sitting back and taking notes; analyzing the trip and my reactions fastidiously. I find that generally right before I breakthrough on DMT alone, time feels as though it is being sped up 3-4x until I exhale into another world. On Oxiracetam though, time sped up slightly, but stayed consistent.
The one time I had a breakthrough trip on Oxiracetam, I was able to exist completely in hyperspace with my eyes closed, and completely in this world with my eyes open. The act of opening and closing my eyes was turning hyperspace on and off. This is the only racetam (or experience in general) where this has been the case. Every time I had the distinct feeling that if I kept my eyes closed, I could perpetuate the trip ad infinitum.
It was a strange few trips indeed, they all had this similar quality of the part of my mind tripping being somewhat disconnected from the rest of me. I can't say I would recommend it regularly, but it felt so much more like an analysis of the trip-state than an actual trip itself that I would recommend trying it at least once for the experience.
It was an incredibly insightful experience on the ability of the mind to maintain two distinct yet very separate streams of consciousness at the same time, and lends credence to my own theories on the mind's allocation of bandwidth; namely that the mind can hypothetically maintain a great number of streams of consciousness at the same time, all of which can be accessed by some means, whether it is DMT, meditation, dehydration, sickness, death or other psychedelics. I hypothesize that all possible states exist simultaneously always, and that one must "know the password," so-to-say, in order to unlock them.
