(This technically isn't a story about hyperspace.)

Yesterday I took DMT for the first time. During the second attempt I was snapped out of my hallucinations by the sharp sound of my father’s keys. He had stopped in from work, being a local mailman (later he said he just felt he needed to stop in). I just recently began living with him again. I had not lived with him since my parents separated when I was 10 years old. I’m 28 years old now. So, at first I was a little scared of getting “caught” despite being a grown adult! But that quickly shifted and without having to think about it much I open my bedroom door and ran out to him. First he was a little startled, understandably! But he’s 66 years old and knows how to spot someone under the influence of a hallucinogen!

After a few moments of allowing him to see that I was okay, I gave him a huge hug and began weeping. I told him, “I haven’t hugged you in so long.” We both instantly realized the meaning of this. Although we have hugged and seen each other over the past 18 years (and I've been living here for nearly a year) we both knew there was something between us; a fear of loss preventing us from fully loving one another as father and son. So, DMT allowed me to truly hug my father for the first time in 18 years.

Since I was very much still under the influence of DMT I wasn't sure if any of this actually happened because he had to go back to work! Distraught, I wandered outside for a bit. Then I remembered he gave me some scratch-off lottery tickets before he left (it's a routine with us). I thrust my hand into my pocket to find them. Concrete evidence it had all truly happened. I sat in the grass and listened to the birds and squirrels until I fully came down. 18 years of repression and separation vaporized in an instant.

Amazing story, Thanks for sharing!

I'm going to give my Dad a massive hug next time I see him

wow that sounds awesome!

I had a similar experience of moving in with my father but i havent had him walk in on me mid trip. sounds like you two really connected. good for you.

Thats beautiful. Wow, I have a lot of work to do, Im suddenly reminded of.

Tihank you.

Simply nice.

Great story. I've had a very distant relationship with my father for a long time but we've slowly been loosening up. Hugs are very powerful medicine and I eventually started hugging my dad but it was weird for both of us at first! There is so much repression in the world particularity amongst men who are supposed to be 'above' such emotion. Psychedelics definitely help to get past this conditioning!

That's awesome, may I please ask can these have lasting effects?. Thanks.

Anyone have a tissue?

Great work! Personally, my father and I are so alike that I simply could not do psychedelics with him or anywhere near him. For me, it'd be like tripping with an older version of myself, and visa versa for him. Guaranteed weird times, haha!

That said, we're very close already. He's currently helping me to give up the booze after a lengthy battle with the demon drink himself.

That is how you do it. Be the ONE to do the first move of love and kindness.
I had similar experience with my father. I hug him each time i see him ever since and it feels good. My old man is an awesome human and spirit.

I'm really glad to have shared this with you all. (I forgot to mention this occurred during a sub breakthrough trip; in case that's helpful to know.)



That's a good question. From my experience I've found what Iorrus said to be true

I feel there can be lasting effects or not depending on what you do afterward. The experience can make for a happier over-all conditioning/self/ego or you can also take it deeper. From what I understand, experiences like these are sort of the height of what a self/ego can experience. Apparently, the undercurrent of what you really are, where there is no self/ego, is always the same. Unconditioned consciousness, Buddha nature, etc.

Naturally we want to have and hold good experiences and avoid and discard negative ones. I personally try to divert that pattern and use my energy to follow these experiences deeper. I pose open ended questions during meditation like, "who or what am I?".



I'd be hesitant to take anything mind altering, even alcohol, at the same time with my father as well! We're also much alike and I think we might just go off ranting about things! But I guess that could be fun in a way. I was also having a hard time with alcohol. I wish you well.

Ha! My dad and I used to drink together back in the day, and we've even shared a couple of spliffs along the way. Yes, there was plenty of ranting, but it was largely enjoyable But, as Shakespeare put it "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts." We're both now on different acts in our lives, but that doesn't stop us from being close

Indeed, a very profound and loving experience. Walls are mere constructs of our minds, be it matter or suppressed behavior, we can deconstruct these walls when the third eye is open. Congratulations to you!

Very comforting to me, maybe one day I can hug my father and mean it, but it's a very shakey relationship, always has been with mine. Never saw eye to eye. But it helps hearing it from someone else that it can happen even with a huge time gap, thanks for reminding me even tho it wasn't directed.

Be well friend

What a beautiful experience! DMT has such a great potential for healing in so many different areas. I'm glad that you've already witnessed that. DMT has also really helped me open up with people from the realisation that what goes on in my head isn't just my own but everyone's if that makes sense?
