I am relatively new to Ayahuasca and I have used it fewer than 10 times so far. I've found the experience incredibly life-changing and incredibly valuable. Based on the changes I've experienced, I would conclude that I've somehow managed to 'integrate' the experience on a subconscious level.

But I have a great deal of what I feel are interesting thoughts when I use Ayahuasca. The problem is that all of this stuff is hard to remember. One problem that happens during the trip is that it's just hard to keep track of a thought. There are times when I undertake to analyze a problem and my mind moves rapidly and clearly through the logical steps, but then some time into it I forget what the initial question was. I can have an entire trip where I realize that this is happening to me but no amount of concentration seems to help with that. Other times I do have more complete and developed thoughts, but the next day, the memories of my trip become significantly faded. Also, there are sometimes phases of the trip that I can only describe as psychotic. It is like being in a trance where you think you've receiving profound understanding but when you examine your thoughts a little closer it just all fades away.

But I've had experiences where I remembered more than in others. So my current hypothesis is that reducing (or increasing???) Ayahuasca dosages can solve a good number of my problems with recall. So far I've taken doses corresponding to 6-20 grams of MHRB with the larger ones having the psychotic phase. I've also taken different doses of harmalas. Somehow, I'm finding that when I took high doses of harmalas my Ayahuasca trips were considerably less visual. Is that just an accident or a common phenomenon?

Anyway,

tl;dr: I'm looking for recommendations on how to dose Ayahausca to promote the best balance of recall of absolute weirdness of thought. I'd also be interested in any other techniques for improving trip recall.
