I can relate to the ˝dead for real˝ statement 100%.
Thunderbolts, carrier wave, center of my brain lights on like a light bulb after switching the switch.
For a split fraction of something i saw my self from a 3rd person view on the bed at the same time as i was also realizing that i was about to experience death. As soon as that realization was formulated and excepted i exhaled my last dying breath and there was loud pop in the center of my head and i exited my body trough the top of my head in expanding and rising spiral....then whiteout.
No memories. No me. No nothing.
Then somehow from somewhere/nowhere something woke up. It was I but not me and IT knew it had ruined a game. Lots of regret and sorrow on remembering. As human all i ever wanted is to know what is in/out there and when it happened all i wanted is to forget. What has transpired in that night was hands down one of most REAL experiences of my human life. Beyond real. Truth. Only thing that is, was and ever will be. Eternal nothing/something.
I will never be able to put any of it into words and when i try it really makes me feel like a freak.
It took me almost two years and additional experiences to finally acknowledge that i wast loosing my mind and that there are also others that have experienced similar. Where do i/we go from here? I don't know. I still have the itch and i have traveled since then but never so deep and so far since it is hands down the most intense, frightening and also beautiful mind blowing experience that you can have as human being. Imho.
Great write up! Love all the additional comments from the rest of members.
ps. It wasn't dmt. Back then i was working with mushrooms.
