Has anyone taken DMT?

How is the brain able to form such complex clockwork fractal imagery? I would never be able to draw it from imagination while sober.

Is there more going on here than we can currently explain. I want to think it can be explained rationally but when on DMT it honestly feels like you're experiencing an alternate dimension.

Its just the dreamscape. If you lucid dream you will see how insane the brain processing ability is. Photoreal.

As for the other "beings" in the dreamscape, those are just subconscious beings. Your brain contains more than one "you". Your subconscious is able to emulate other consciousnesses that it uses to play act through scenarios to increase survival during the waking state. Yes, they are actually "conscious" and distinct for your waking consciousness. They can talk and you can even have conversations with them.

Your pineal gland releases dimethyltryptamine when you dream whilst deep sleeping. There’s nothing extraordinary about it.

Be very careful and appreciate the fact that you can do it, I still don't know what it fucking feels like..

Since I've started taking DMT I definitely notice visual snow when I stare at a wall - kind of like fuzzy dots in a grid pattern. I'm also concious of patterns forming when I close my eyes - especially late at night when I'm tired.

Whether or not I had this before and I just never payed attention to it - I don't know.

My girlfriend also spontaneously mentioned to me that she also is now noticing more closed eye pattern forming than earlier. She did it with me a handful of times.

Now you have me slightly concerned it's HPPD. does that sound like your symptoms?

Currently overall I'd say it's a non-factor in my life. It's only very mild and if anything I like it.

IIRC the brain injury caused his brain to connect the region that does math with his visual processing. I remember a news article of the time quoted a doctor as saying the man could "see the geometry of the universe". Imagine trying to live a normal life like that.

hppd is brought on by one time usage and usually stays that way for an unknown period of time. it isn't even exclusively triggered by psychedelics as it happens
>>11902937
5ht2a receptors are involved in visual processing and the agonism from dmt and other ligands like it on the receptors causes overstimulation which would cause the patterns to emerge. if you ever taken psychedelics you'll notice that the longer you stare at something the more you hallucinate on it

here we go again, another druggie's topic, gathering all the enlightened 18-25 yrs old psytrance festival goers, sharing their extraordinary knowledge about the world, psychedelics, and diseases they cause.

i hereby propose the creation of a psychedelics board, for a good riddance of the addicted.

even the copperfag is more entertaining
