Going into this experience I was experiencing some "negative" emotions that I wanted to explore more deeply.
I took sublingual harmalas about a half hour before I began smoking some DMT-citrate e-juice.
I started with a few hits and let myself settle in this modified hyperspace reality. I took a couple more to where I felt really close to a full breakthrough, then leaned back into the experience. I didn't want to blast off, just yet. I took a few more hits here and there as I started leveling back down to maintain a similar state for an extended period.
I dug into the core of the emotions I was feeling, examining their roots and how they affect my thinking and behavior, and how the emotions flow together. I sank into the negativity of these feelings. It was a vast chasm of loneliness and desperation. I felt these things fully, felt them in my body, felt the heaviness and the sadness of it all. It was incredibly painful.
None of what I experienced was new, but I had been subconsciously avoiding these emotions. Bringing it to the surface was like opening the floodgates. And while the experience was painful, it was not negative. Quite the opposite. Feeling these emotions and digging through their origins and terminations was enlightening to say the least. There's still work to be done integrating and possibly through additional trips, but this was powerful healing.
After swimming through the Marianas Trench of pain, I wanted to end the night a little lighter, so why not blast off while I still have the benefit of harmalas. And let me say it was wonderful! It was light and playful and pure joy.
At times, I felt like I was in a room with people I knew (family or friends? people I was close to anyway). They were sitting on either side of me in my peripheral view. When I turned to face them, they transformed into whatever little alien creatures they were. It was like a fun little game for them. And me too!
One of them even teased me with something "frightening". I don't particularly care for insects, bordering on almost phobia sometimes. One of the little creatures showed me a handful of insects. Or maybe it was made of insects and it took off its alien suit to show me its true nature. Then it transformed back. It wasn't scary or unpleasant. It was like it was trying to take something modestly unpleasant and turn it into something fun and light. I think we laughed at the absurdity of it together.
There were more creatures and they were all very playful. I thought it was the first time I'd seen the alien entities in a trip, but some of them came out that I recognized from previous trips, I just hadn't recognized that they were entities at the time. They laughed at me for not recognizing them then. It felt like a mini reunion with friends I hadn't seen in a long time.
