As some of you may know, I have been battling severe hereditary Insomnia for some time now, with limited to no success. My main problem is entering REM sleep.

Over the past year I have felt changes in my psyche, thought patterns, and an overall decrease in mental health. At the same time, I have reason to believe that the insomnia has expanded my consciousness as well.

I have read on the shroomery (sorry, can't find link) that some priests claim that 4-5 days with no sleep and fasting MIGHT induce a DMT like experience.

Last night, I had a DMT like hallucination, when I was lying in bed, a week or more sleep deprived and very little food in my stomach. I have never experienced this before, and I am 100% positive that I was not sleeping. All of the sudden, for no reason at all, I exhaled, and I felt very strange. Then I opened my eyes and tried to get up, but I felt like I was about to enter hyperspace. Then, my vision kind of tunneled out, and I felt like I blasted off (similar to vaporized dmt trip). After that "jump" was over, I felt like I broke through. I saw the fractal patterns and a different landscape, but it was very fuzzy, and confusing. I stayed in this state of confusion for an unknown period of time, and then my vision started to return to normal.

This morning, I feel very strange, almost as if I had a mild dose of aya last night. I don't really know what to make of this situation. Part of me is amazed, part of me thinks I am going insane.

When you are tired and sleep deprived it is indeed easier to get into a sober trance state such as astral projection which is very similar to a dmt blast off(overwelming energy, noise, fractules and visuals. I know from experience. Isnomia is unhealthy but dmt like experience can be produced wether you get enough sleep or not. There are many ways to cure insomia and I would start by clearing your mind on a daily basis using techniques. You must take control.

-just my opinion

thank you warriorsage

Hello, I'm sure your sleep deprivation has been far worse than mine. I use to be a crystal meth addict. Thank God I'm not anymore but I've stayed up a week with no nap what so ever. It's a torture I was putting myself through. I did hallucinate and become very paranoid. Not as a DMT blast though. I've never experienced anything relating to DMT till my 1st blast. Nothing can compare I believe.

You sound as if you're more on the verge of death man/woman. I'd get some meds before you do go insane. If you already have to question your own sanity than you're already far in to it. Although crazy people don't know they're crazy. Just try and get a professional opinion. I don't believe anyone on here is a DR.

^ theres actually several docs on this forum. why wouldn't there be? few can resist the call of the spice ;]

anywho.. how have you been in the weeks since posting this, maxzar?
