At first I thought it was just me who felt that ever since trying DMT, I can visualize things SO MUCH BETTER in my head. If I think about something or someone, I can paint a really good picture in my head, way better than before. Quite often when I dream it seems so much more realistic, and have become a lot more cryptic. They also quite often ended in waking up before I was surely going to die.
For ages I spent wondering why am I dreaming this way? What's wrong with my head? Then I started looking at other possibilities, and that perhaps my subconscious was trying to tell me something in the only way it knew how (and for some reason, is really cryptic and uses incredible metaphorical situations). It wasn't until last night I feel I had this breakthrough realization as to why it was all happening. I started analyzing the situations, and noticing certain similarities between the "message behind the dream" or so I felt.
I'll explain the last dream I had. I was going out in to my backyard to smoke a few bongs and I saw the neighbour. I asked him "is it alright if I smoke up?", to which he responded "yeah sure, my wife is heading out". I was happy, and had a few cones. All of a sudden, I was going exploring. I went inside what I thought was a cave, but was a pyramid (the inside appeared to look like an old crypt or pyramid). I pressed a brick in randomly. The camera then panned (as if I were in a movie) to behind the heap of bricks. On the other side it had activated a glyph that looked like a typical Egyptian bird marking. I continued on and made it in to another room, which then immediately things went bad. The walls started closing in and the whole place was shaking. I ran out of there and thought I was in the clear, but old mates girlfriend was there with a double barrel shotgun. I stopped. She says to me "I'm going to call the police, then I'm going to kill you.". I went to say "no, please no, don't" as I was looking around trying to find a way to escape. That's basically where I woke up.
The way I see it, the neighbour was my conscience. I was supposed to have been not smoking Marijuana anymore, but my conscience let me down and I was smoking up. I figure the whole cave / crypt / pyramid "exploring" thing was my whole idea when I started taking drugs; that I was just exploring and seeing what it was all about. I did a lot of drugs (Ice, Speed, Cocaine, Synthetic Weed blends, Oxycontin, LSD, DMT, MDA). Pressing the glyph was the taking of the drug. As I went deeper in to the cave, it went bad... I barely made it out alive, only to be greeted to the darker side of my conscience, to which I almost died again. (Continually taking drugs after I said I would stop... I said I was going to stop after my 3rd acid trip, but didn't listen. Same with Weed, I kept saying I would stop but didn't). Things got out of hand.
Anyway, that's my take on it; to which I feel it matches a reflection of my life, in a very cryptic fashion. I could be wrong, and just trying to link things together so it makes sense. I'm pretty sure it was a sign, and I'm going to stick to my guns on that one, and give it all up. With my HPPD, etc... I want it to go away and to be restored to a happy being. I've vouched not to touch anything (excl. Weed and DMT) ever again. Weed and DMT are a maybe, in a years time IF (and only IF) things are better.
What is everyone elses take on this experience / dreams being changed after trying DMT?
