Question about DMT

[metal123456]

I have recently just learned about this drug and I plan on trying it at some point (I still need to do more research and mentally prepare for it). I've read all of the bad trip reports on Erowid about DMT and I am wondering something: if you smoke enough DMT to breakthrough and you feel like you are starting to have a bad trip, can't you just tell yourself that it's just the DMT and that everything will go back to normal soon? Or are you so far detached from your mind/logical thought that you can't even tell yourself this anymore? If you open your eyes while you are experiencing a breakthrough what do you see? Do you recognize the people you are with and your surroundings?

I think knowing the answers to these questions will help me prepare for my experience. Thanks

No, you really can't tell yourself it's "just a drug" when you're breaking through. It's incredibly immersive, it feels like you are elsewhere and actually experiencing it. You can open your eyes, but it's a waste, things do look nuts, but nothing like what's behind your eyes. The only bad time I had smoking DMT was when instead of elves or aliens, it was shadow people, and they fucking HATED me. I snapped by eyes open and kept em open but still could feel their presence just out of my vision, like they were jumping around, fucking with me. That one trip caused me to take a break for a month, but then when I did it again, best trip ever.

got the farthest ive been last night but still wouldnt consider it anywhere close to a break thru - it was 2 smaller hits and by the end of the 2nd one u can feel this huge wave just take over it was like ur senses got overridden and then all of sudden it was super nuts almost like i was in full meditation it was like my spirit somewhat got out of my body and was floating right by my head however i could feel as tho my body was just sitting up feeling awesome- almost felt like i could see /feel how much ur brain processes stuff so fast at the same time like bits ona computer being computed it was a bit odd but super fun - and this was at like 4 in the morning or so before i was gonna goto sleep was intimidated the 1st time - 2nd time was bad ass - hopefully 3rd will be a charm\

Why not try oral DMT? Steadier comeup and you get an hour or two in DMT land rather than 30 seconds.

try doing a fully loaded DMT machine on an acid peak, you'll be very glad it only lasts 10 minutes, 2 hours in that land would be quite a challenge.
