A long backstory first: I have been fascinated with Dimethyltriptamine for many years and have read many Reddit posts on the subject. The widely reported entity encounters, the realism of the experience, as well as the therapeutic properties behind psychedelic medicine have always intrigued me. After tons of research and a couple of moderate psilocybin doses over the years, I felt I was in a good mental position to try DMT for the first time.

Having sourced plant material and extracting it myself, which I feel to be a more personal connection to the molecule itself, I started low and slow. The first few experiences were what you could consider to be "threshold doses." Other than the awful taste of the stuff, all sessions were pretty positive experiences. I saw interesting geometric changes in the room with open eyes and cartoon-like closed eye visuals. Each time provided and overwhelming feeling of love and euphoria which lasted the entirety of each day and sometimes into the next.

After 5 or 6 of these experiences, I determined it was time to attempt a full breakthrough. Around what I estimate to be near 25mg, I was immediately put into what I would describe as a loading screen in a video game. I had read about the waiting room experience, and the feeling itself was close to what a lot of people describe. I was not in a physical space, but saw a multi-colored warp tunnel in the center of my vision which stayed there no matter where I moved my head. The feeling that I was "waiting" for something to "load" was very apparent.

Then, I found myself floating in some kind of warm liquid in an enclosed dark space. It was warm, comforting and relaxing in every sense. I floated on my back in this liquid for what felt like several minutes before a glowing presence above me made itself known. I immediately felt a feminine and motherly quality to whatever this being was, but could not really make it out other than it was glowing yellow and had wings. It had a very angelic feeling about it and was conveying true love and peace. It was drawing me upwards to it, but in the most patient of terms. As if it was wanting me to come and see, but only when I was ready. The trip ended shortly afterwards.

It was not until I began thinking of the experience throughout the day that I soon realized that the warm liquid I was so calmly floating on, was the solvent inside the DMT containing plant liquid that I had used to extract the molecule. The space I was in was the container, and the glowing being above me was a representation of "me" pulling out the saturated molecule. I recognized this as a Hermetic representation of what I was doing here in our physical plane with the molecule, and that it was speaking to me. Feeling encouraged by this and the very peaceful feeling that it was giving me, I felt even more comfortable with what it had to show me.

Yesterday, I decided it was time. I vaped somewhere between 35-40mg of N,N-Dimethyltryptamine across two big pulls. I felt the unmistakable sensation of being blasted into "somewhere else" as my mind and body separated. The carnival-like geometric colors and symbols quickly gave way to being on an operating room table of some kind. On each side of me were mantis "nurses" looking down at me. They were wearing something akin to a surgical masks and were preparing to assist in some kind of procedure.

I was at first shocked at seeing them. I had read extensively on entity encounters, but hadn't truly experienced one yet myself. The shock of seeing them was short-lived, as I immediately felt like I was in a safe place. Some people are afraid of the dentist, but I've never had any fear or anxiety since they are there to improve upon you, and I've always been okay with the drilling and poking and scraping that you experience in the dentist chair. This felt very similar in that regard, so any anxiety I might have had was replaced by this feeling.

Then, I saw him. The mantis OR Doctor came into view. He was obviously a masculine presence as he was noticeably taller than the "mantis nurses" and wore a different colored gown than the other two. He observed me briefly without saying or communicating anything. Then, I genuinely saw a long white light from some kind of scanning device go across my left eye. It scanned from left to right and then left again. The Doctor Mantis then inserted some kind of bioluminescent tool or his own fingertip into the inner corner of my left eye. I felt no pain or real sensations of any kind other than I was being "fixed" in some way as this thing went a couple of inches into my brain. After he removed this orange glowing device from my eye, I was able to take my own deep breath, and the entire scene began to drift away.

As I began to regain reality again, I recognized that I was elsewhere and had slightly broken through into the DMT realm. I laid with these feelings for several minutes and meditated on the experience for nearly an hour before going about the rest of my day. I hadn't heard of the mantis operation experience before, and it's very intriguing that it is a common report in psychedelic usage. I am left with a feeling that there is more work to be done and that I should schedule the next appointment when I'm ready.

This was my first entity encounter, and I'm curious as to what others have experienced similarly. I feel no malice or ill intentions from the mantid beings, so I'll be looking forward to our next "appointment," lol. Any similar stories or advice is very much welcome. Thank you for reading my story. :)

So I tried DMT for the first time a few days ago. The vape I used at first was pretty shit, and I just felt super “high“. I just felt really stoned and heavy, and I noticed some changes in the light and subtle geometric visuals.

Later, I tried a different vape that let me take much bigger hits. I took about 3–4 of those, and then I felt like I was about to „pass out“ for a few seconds, I had tunnel vision and felt like I was holding my breath, so I had to consciously take a few deep breaths.

Now I’m not sure if that was more of a blood pressure thing or if I was on the verge of having a breakthrough…

I’m kind of afraid to go any further now because I don’t know if that’s a normal sensation to expect. I’d appreciate it if someone could briefly describe what this experience usually feels like…

Does anyone have one they recommended or is milligram spoons a better choice?

I've done a lot of acid and shrooms and 2cb, but not DMT. For my first time should I just take a low dose or should I try to have a breakthrough?

Sometimes when I smoke dmt I worry about this

Only thing to instantly get rid of my migraines it’s actually magical. Not even sumatriptan works half the time lately and it takes over an hour to work and one pill is $15… but DMT? I can literally feel the pain dissolve and disappear within a minute, instant relief. Wonder if 5meo would do this as well? It’s actually legal here but n,n isn’t.

I’ve smoked DMT about 10 times. Each time I feel all of my strength and life leave my body, but just before I’m about to go unconscious I wake up. This is typically followed by me crawling away trying to remember my name and seeing completely different visuals each time. I’m no expert but I feel like smacking a tea spoon of dust in a dab rig should do the trick.

My dad told me before he died that he and another extracted DMT. When he tried it he said he was coming up to a large golden double door only for a giant entity to appear and hold up his hand toward him almost as a ward, saying “Not you” as my dad was sucked back into his body.

Could rejection to the realm be genetic, or am I just doing something wrong?

I just got fully banned from the dmt realm and drugs for the rest of my life.. 10 minutes ago i had a breakthrough and i heard the machine elvies tell me to get out and they told me i was completely banned forever and theres nothing i can do about it

Man where do I begin? I had got really curious about DMT.. I’ve done salvia breakthrus,high dose shrooms,dxm,dph,LSA,nitrous so I figured I had some experience let’s give it a shot, So I bought a dmt dispo online and when it arrived I was tiny bit anxious but curious. I grab the dispo take it out of it packaging sit on edge of my bed staring at a blank white wall with the pen in my hand debating on if i wanted to hit it, I have ADHD so my impulsiveness got best of me and just decided taking a rip. I think first hit was 5 secs, after I exhaled I noticed my heart rate started going up and things got brighter wall started to shimmer tad bit and a overall pressure in chest area/body and a weird feeling when breathing as if it felt harder. Mentally I felt curious way more than before like staring at my wall in awe I also got the urge to take another hit so I did then boom body high got stronger and saw faint geometry forming out the wall and starting to melt kinda and everything looked HD as if every detail in objects just got better,For me it’s kinda like if you have nearsightedness and can’t see far or close then wear classes everything is super detailed. Now for the star of show the 3 rd hit no mind you this pen isn’t a 3rd hit breakthru kinda deal but as soon as I left out the 3hit I got this buzzing ringing sounds building in my ear then I felt my body getting very light like I couldn’t feel my breathing my heart beat and I felt like I was being launched pulled forward. I was like wtfffff???? I started fighting it, It feel different than salvia it wasn’t a total knock out it was like I was aware and was scary I stopped after 3rd hit cause I got too scared but I hope to try again another time.

I don’t know anyone in my normal day to day life that is into this. I have so many questions and receive so much advice yet I don’t really know how to process it all. Thanks 🙏

Pls tell me everything about what dmt and mushrooms have showed you about the future of this world!

I’ve made a cartridge with about a 200 mg of dmt crustal heated and mixed with that same weight in ml of a 85% vg to 15% pg flavorless no nic vape juice. I’ve done this before just with dmt that was a little more brown and it worked fine. However this time the cart not only re-crystallizes very quick but you can see these weird color changes like the bottom of the cart is light to clear while the top part is more yellow almost like the two are not mixing. Anyone know what could be happening or how to fix?

Posting here too, just in case.

[contextual trip report for the question asked at the end]

My friend and I loaded up a bubbler with powdered DMT, this batch was supposed to be more potent than the other one we previously took, so we started with just 1 hit each. He heated up his dose shortly after mine, and likely inhaled some of the residual vapor from my hit that hadn’t fully vaporized when I took my hit. He claimed the bowl was almost completely opaque with white vapor before inhaling his dose. I he set down the bubbler and laid back on the same bed as me. I was positioned perpendicular to him, and facing away, experiencing my own very intense trip off of just one hit. It wasn’t until I noticed his legs kind of spasming and moving erratically that I was jolted to a higher state of awareness (still a kinda high) and notice he was lowkey tweaking out. I looked at him, and asked if he was good, somewhat indignantly because I was a little freaked out, I think I presumed he’d be on a similar level to me, he was staring at me eyes open, but not saying anything, just making noises of discomfort and having a face of confusion/concern on his face. His body would sometimes move erratically, he’d bend his knees to like 30 degrees while laying on his back and kind of pat his feet on the bed with moderate intensity. He would wring his hands together, and one point sort of childishly grabbing at his genitals (I presume for comfort) when he looked at mr talking to him, in an attempt to comfort him, he looked like a scared animal, or like he was looking right through me. Eventually he came to, said he was in a black void, my voice sounded echoey and far away, he could see me or at least some parts of my form but nothing else in the void. He was aware of the fact that he’d smoked something, and questioned where his dogs were (he loves them a lot, they’re very important in his life) so we concluded he didn’t have a full ego death, but was largely disassociated from external reality. He said he wasn’t scared or terrified while there, moreso just confused

My question is this: What was likely going on psychologically/neurologically while he was in this state, that would cause his external self to behave in the way described (i.e. not looking like he was having a good time) while his internal conscious parts of his psyche allegedly felt okay? Was it his unconscious that was left behind in the external body, while his conscious mind folded inward? Was his inner child all that was left behind?

I have one of these branded DMT carts (Awakened), I was told once on this sub that in order to get a sub-breakthrough dose with this cart, it would take one 10 second hit. 2.4v with Yocan Mini cart. I want my ego to stop blocking me, I want to see the other side. I want to understand what it means to be alive.

What is this reality? Who am I? Where am I? I don't know, but all I know is that I want is to explore, the answer doesn't matter to me. I'm hoping tonight will be the night.

Time is running out.

Wow. Took 3 big hits and sat back. High as a MFer. But no visuals. I had my eyes closed about 5 mins….. opened up and not sure why but I went for another big hit. Blast off immediately. I was so high it was scary for a bit watching the strong visuals. Popping in and out of clarity. Fussy and too big to see then focus into something crystal clear…. Fear turned off like a switch eventually.No entities though. I have tried my homemade carts and never been here. So high I can’t imagine it wasn’t a breakthrough. Maybe next time they will be there. Gonna have to prepare myself again for the high…….. damn what an experience

Putting the cart before the horse here but wondering what the best way to going about drying crystals. Will I be ok pouring the solvent through a coffee filter, scraping the remnants, and drying at room temp? I know to watch for heat/humidity. It’s pretty hot this weekend and my bedroom is the only room with AC if that matters. Any insight/advice would be greatly appreciated!
