Up till now I've had only around a dozen trips with just dmt or dmt smoked with caapi. Yesterday I grinded up 2.5 grams of syrian rue and consumed that. Hours later around a fire on a beautiful starry night at my friend's house, it was time to blast off. I loaded my pipe with caapi leaf, then a little over 10mg freebase dmt, topped with more caapi leaf. (no machine or gvg ) I also had another bowl packed with just caapi to smoke before the other bowl, just to get a little more harmalas in my system before launch.

I usually meditate for at least 10-15 minutes before smoalking, but this time I just sat silently in a chair for a few minutes then began. Looking back, I pretty much just skipped my meditation step in preperation, which is what I point to as the main reason the experience was as follows:

After the first hit the surrounding sounds started changing. I took two more hits and that bizzare body feeling overcame me and my perception changed drastically. The first thing I can recall was a face appearing behind my closed eyes. It looked human shapped, sort of Alex Grey-esque. Then next thing I know I was surrounded by what I could only describe as "wood elves." This was the first time I had ever had contact with more than one entity at once, not counting the times I could sense a presence of others around me in the surroundings. This was my first run in with "elves" and they weren't just part of the surroundings, they were very dimensional and real looking.

They were doing all kinds of things and looking at me as if demanding my undivided attention, much like I've read before of others' experiences. This was similar to my first dmt entity encounter where I felt like its student and I had to pay attention. These were much different looking though than that entity from months ago.

I can't remember too many details, there was all so much going on, as I'm sure ya'll are familiar with. I feel dmt really brings out the subconscious, which allows for a lot of personal things to appear to help me work with during/afterwards. However, these entities just didn't seem a part of me, at all. It was weird. They were just so real.

At one part of the trip I felt like I was dieing. While it was happening the dmt or energy was just flowing all thru my body and it was the most bizzare sensation. I could just feel it going all thru my body. I wondered in my mind if I should ask my three friends who were around me if I was dieing, but I realized I was probably fine considering they appeared to all be sitting sliently as I had asked them to do while I journeied. As the experience was fading, I got really really cold, even though we were around a fire. I started really shaking/trembling. I had read about this before and figured I was safe but it just felt so weird. I was like so shaken up from the experience. It felt so cold returning to my body. I shook for several minutes and kept thinking about what just happened.

It took a couple reminders/hints from things my friends said for me to remember some parts. For example, I completely forgot about the whole part where I was dieing until my one friend mentioned something about dieing, it just triggered the whole memory of what happened to me several minutes ago. It' wild.

I'm looking forward to trying this combo again, probably different dosages though. Higher dosages. Speaking of higher, we were smoking bud pretty consistantly throughout last night before I blasted off. I think the rue coupled with all the pot maybe made me a bit hazy, and that could have also contributed to the entities demanding my attention, because my mind kept thinking while they were doing their things, "wow i can't wait to tell x,y, and z about this." I'm sure a solid meditation and not all that pot smoking will help for future journies where they want me to pay so much attention
