I was wondering, because it is a highly likely and theorized that dmt is released in your brain every night while you sleep if there was a way to administer a dose of dmt while you are asleep, (i.v. or something). Or even being woken from rem sleep and smoking it asap would this change your trip would you know you woke up? Would you fall back asleep? Has anyone ever tried anything like this or have any theories?

You know, maybe someone can do an experiment. Keeping dosage, smoking method, size and hold of hits constant, maybe someone can try it during these times:

1) first thing upon waking
2) right before bed
3) setting the alarm to go off during the first light sleep stage
4) during REM sleep
5) during heavy sleep

and post the subjective results from your test. If we can get enough results maybe we can get closer to getting some answers to how our brains work (with and without DMT).

Also, the diet/medications taken during this time must also remain rather constant.

Topical9, that is a very interesting question. Something that I have never thought of before. Something that I woulld like to think about. I'll get back to you on that one.

I quite often smoke sub-breakthrough doses before I go to sleep. I usually don't remember my dreams on nights that I've smoked before bed time. But I agree with acolon_5, I will become this test subject among others who are willing to be the variables and then find someone who is abstinent as the control. I CALL TO BE ONE OF THE VARIABLES! Heh...

I'm a pretty deep sleeper, and am VERY used to intravenous injections to the point I probably wouldn't notice if I was in the correct position and soundly asleep. Their is only one person I trust enough with a spike to do this, I'll ask him if he is hip to this jive.

Hi Topical 9, I have thought about it as promised and this is what I thought. Couldn't it be posible to devise some kind of jell cap type delivery system that takes 3 or 4 hours to unleash its contents, allowing the participant to fall asleep naturally and then get hit? If anyone has ideas on slow release caps, Im all ears. I would love to investigate this notion.

I'm sure I could make a crude XR DMT capsule using colloidal silicon dioxide. I'll keep you posted w/ pictures. I take methadone, so I'm not sure if I could 1. Use an MAOI 2. Be a Variable in the study...
