Yep, sounds about right! Those feelings can be extremely overwhelming, obviously. But rest assured that many, if not all of us here, have gone through something similar. It was not your physical self that was dying, but most likely it was your ego. Some people find it very hard to let go because it is terrifying. And about your friend, having never taken any psychedelics, I can see why this would be so intense. We like to call these things "hyperslaps" ! Or at least I find it to be an amusing term.
I second DeltaSpice on lowering the dosage if you feel so inclined. Starting low and building your way up will help you prepare for the more powerful journeys. But also remember, that DMT will likely show you something different each time. It is nearly impossible to fully prepare for such an event. Meditation and breathing can help soothe the nerves before blasting off as well.
DMT is no joke. It is incredibly powerful and can wipe away your entire reality in seconds. I recently had a very powerful journey. I'll leave a link here if you would like to read it. I have had many breakthroughs but this was the first one that I met any entities which blew my mind!

EDIT: Also, this is a very informative post about the ins and outs of using DMT and whether or not it is suited for everyone.
Why you should NOT take DMT. Honestly, I think everyone on the Nexus should at least give this a glance.
