I've put together my first (and currently only) two trips to date. Hopefully someone finds this interesting / useful!
Dose: ? full cone of DMT infused herb (Pau d'Arco)
Method: Bong
Breakthrough: Yes
Total time of visuals: ? 10 minutes (only a guess)
Mental State Pre-Trip: Ready, a little nervous, I tried a tiny amount an hour before to test the waters
Mental State Post-Trip: Speechless yet peaceful (WTF just happened to me describes it well)
Setting: In the backyard overlooking bushland
I try my best to describe here what really is ineffable.
Immediately on the exhale I felt a great shift begin as the fabric of my visual reality started to pixellate and dissolve into one made of multitudes of discrete little particles of colours forming greater waves which coalesced into intelligent patterns. I tried to clear the rest of the smoke while I could but I genuinely couldn't tell if I was inhaling or exhaling so I put it down and closed my eyes.
The patterns made by the millions of fluid parts in this reality were beautiful in all kinds of glimmering colours that were changing at rapid speeds as I moved through them. I was moving fast the feeling is difficult to describe: falling, flying, rolling - at once. Moving in a direction that was everywhere at once. As the intensity increased I encountered some mental resistance at which point I could hear an uncomfortable electric whine that was very dissonant. I opened my eyes to escape it.
I could see the yard drenched in sparkling sunlight psychedelically enhanced in a most beautiful way. I had been holding a shirt over my eyes to block the sun. I let go of it and watched feeling it roll over my arms and to the pavement. As I focused on this I felt my consciousness roll over into itself in a loop. That kind of freaked me out so I looked away at my hand with my palm outstretched on the pavement. The butterfly ring I was wearing was sparkling. Suddenly as I looked my hands split into multiples before dissolving right through into bursting colours and patterns while my eyes were open! I lost my grip on what was happening and had a moment of real fear before surrendering to the experience. It was like an explosion took place my consciousness became endless. The boundaries of my awareness expanded beyond explanation.
I flowed through this exquisite multi-dimensional matrix and I sensed intuitively that this was ancient and vast and this experience was important and being shown to me for a reason. I can distinguish a memory of rolling inside some great multi-faceted dodecahedron of yellow and orange triangles with pure white light piercing through before shifting to the next area. There were no boundaries here of space or time.
I became the flow of energy, I was the energy. I sensed that this was me, or who I really am, which was eternal. I had been here before I was born and here I would return when I died. There was a huge gravity to it. This was the source and fabric of all things and I was a part as everything is a part of and connected to it.
I was rather surprised upon being returned to my physical body as I'd forgotten by then that I'd had one. I observed the sky and sun, the trees and grass and finally the pavement as it morphed and tessellated with sparkling blue liquid gel that soon faded out. I closed my eyes enjoying the final CEVs. I was bathed in a beautiful afterglow.
All I could process was WTF for a good 20 minutes. ???!?!!!?!! While I felt peaceful my concept of three dimensional reality had just been violently smashed apart and here I was left speechless at the profundity of the experience. What intrigued and scared me more was the feeling that this was only the tip of the iceberg. I knew I had not remembered it all and scrambled to recover what I could.
Dose: ? third of a cone of DMT infused herb (Pau d'Arco)
Method: Bong
Breakthrough: No
Total time of visuals: ? 3-5 minutes
Mental State Pre-Trip: Moderate pre-flight anxiety
Mental State Post-Trip: Peaceful, relaxed
Setting: In the backyard overlooking bushland
Visuals were not immediate on the exhale, I closed my eyes as it began. Feeling my consciousness expand vastly, I was in the middle of a great sea of energy and vibrations. Colours of red, orange, yellow. Feeling of oneness and love. “Remember?”, I had been here before but I had forgotten. It felt like I had come home. A small light-emitting being came forward twisting, morphing, sparkling; I could not make out the form clearly. It then dissolved into the sea.
I retained awareness of my body and its location as I could still hear the birds and background noises. The visions began to fade and I opened my eyes. A very peaceful and enjoyable trip.
