Pretense:I've posted 2 other trip reports on this welcome page. All four of my trips have been a continuous experience. Like themes and characters I see have reappeared between trips. In my last trip a trippy ritual occured where several figures become one and this single figure became a dark entity that to me looks like satan as depicted by the christian church. This satan figure scared me shitless and took advantage of my fear and began burning my mind. Eventually I came to and decided I wasn't gonna smoalk for awhile. I guess awhile for me is about 3 weeks cause that is all it has been and I just got back from a pretty cool trip.
Physical Setting:Bedroom in bed, no sitter, curtains closed but ambient daylight shining through, enourmous tie dye tapestry enveloping me in my bed

. Also over ear headphones playing ephemeral by Bassnectar followed by the next two songs from that album. I picked that song because I had a moment during a set while he was playing that song.
Mental setting:Tired, not much on my mind, a little anxious cause who doesn't get preflight anxiety?
The Toke:I pre-melted ~15mg onto my version of "The Machine" let it cool down for a few minutes and then just took one really long slow hit. I may have been able to get another, but due to my previous experience and how it scared the crap out of me, I was okay with leaving a little spice for next time.
The Trip:As I exhale the toke things have already gone all crystaline and warpy. The tie dye wrapped around my body was a vortex of color and if anyone has tie dye tapestries I highly recommend covering yourself in them next time you go to space. My eyes were open for the majority of the come up. I was expecting audio distortion from my music but got none and that was cool with me. The music was so perfectly synced with the rhythm of the trip. At some point I closed my eyes.
I saw Satan again so I opened my eyes. Then I told myself "Satan when my eyes are closed is just a trip man, lets check out what hes got goin on, he cant hurt me if he has manifested from me". So I close my eyes and hes there but out from the center of his face a woman takes form and she begins dancing to my music. The more I focus on her the less apparent Satan is. She is dancing for me, but not like a stripper dancing sensually or anything, but more just dancing in a really pleasant happy way and she liked that I was watching so I did. Satan flashes in and out but he's much less apparent as the woman's dancing continues. Then the trip begins to end and she actually waves goodbye to me!
Afterthoughts:-I think this evil figure I see stems from my fear and awe of the intensity of the trip.
-I think in the next few experiences I will get better at banishing this fear from myself.
-I took a much higher dose my first time trying dmt and I got absolutely no complex cevs, same with my second experience. This time however it was a lower dose than I think I've done ever, and was still interacting with things as opposed to just a trippy wall of color. Weird.
-Rick and Morty inspired my best mantra to stay calm yet: "SHOW ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT, I WANT TO SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT." I just mentally shouted that at the trip as i was coming up and it worked really well to not let me get too overwhelmed.
-Overall: still can't entirely avoid being overwhelmed, once I'm peaked (or maybe it's during the come down) I am able to relax myself. But during the initial rush I just can't take how crazy it all is. The woman towards the end was genuinely kind, the way she was sort of caming out of Satan's face made me a little skeptical, but a feeling that she meant no harm was there the whole time. It was almost like Satan was on channel 1 and the woman was on channel 2 and both the channels had interference with each other and were fighting for dominance.
