REPORT
These two trips (that I'm calling a single trip) took place yesterday morning before my tattoo appointment. This is my fourth day of "a dose a day" week.

My old friend came into town and we went up on the hill. He is actually the one who introduced me to mushrooms and LSD. He hadn't had DMT in awhile, and he wasn't at first planning to use it, but decided once we got up there that he would do a 25mg dose. He found it pleasant and lite. He was impressed with the efficiency of the GVG. At about a minute in he stood up and walked around for awhile before becoming recentered.

My first dose, I have to be honest, I barely remember. I think it's because I didn't really process it or talk it through after it happened, and what resulted was a much better memory of the second dose.

The first dose was 40mg, and I made a point of doing a breathing excersise before the hit. This seemed to help quite a bit in that I was more able to hold the hit in for a longer period of time.

I sat up through the entire journey, cross-legged and slightly slouched over. I remember seeing some sort of entity, but it was not very clear. As the trip came on, I remember thinking that there wasn't a major difference between having my eyes opened and having them closed. I could make out that the entity's hands cupped together and handing me something. This seems to be a recurring motif for me--entities handing me things in a slow progressive movement in my direction. I could not make out what she was passing towards me, but I was comforted by her.

On the way out I hugged my buddy and we talked for awhile before I decided that I was going to take another one before leaving. This second dose was only 30mg, but I wanted to take it and keep my eyes open the entire time--before I have always closed my eyes when I go into the trip with only one or two notable exceptions.

The second trip landed upon me like a blanket. I looked out at the tree line and all sorts of "elves" for lack of a better term bounced out of the picture. It's not that they "came bounding towards me" as Terrance always said; rather they all just stood there. I had an understanding of infinity as I looked at them, and they and I could both tell that they had something to tell, but they wouldn't say what it was.

I spent some time looking down at a rock in front of me, and in it I saw the face of a wolf. It did not frighten me in any way; rather, I wanted to communicate to it, and it wouldn't speak. This seemed to be the theme of this second trip yesterday--entities that wouldn't speak. They just stood there like gate keepers; I guess I need to take more.
