anyone done DMT?

[Harry Hughes]

I experienced the heart beat out of control feeling when I took my first trip on LSD.
I can tell you, that shit is not fun. I felt like I was going to literally die.

Anyway, I've not had experience with DMT, but I have done LSD before. LSD was beyond anything I could imagine. No amount of reading and research could have prepared me for how fucking intense it was.
If DMT is truly as powerful as it's made out to be, it would be one muthafucker of a trip, that's for sure.
I did have a bad trip with LSD admittedly, but I have no regrets and it made me infinitely more open minded. I know I'd try DMT for sure if it were offered to me.
Personally I believe anyone that doesn't try LSD, DMT and drugs of that ilk are truly missing out on a truly mind blowing, mind opening experience that will let you learn so much about yourself that you never could otherwise.

Is it addictive an Illegal?

Is it addictive an Illegal?

I hugely doubt you could get addicted to a drug that intense to be honest.
I can't see anyone being motivated to use something like that daily, it's just way too intense.

 

[GarethSE]

not physically or psychologically addictive
illegal even though its in pretty much every living being.
fucked eh?

Lucid dreaming is not as cool as everyone makes it out to be. It kinda sucks actually.

I loled at DMT finding me. That would be fucking awesome.

yeah, thats one of the things i read about it, that DMT finds you when you're ready
i mean none has physically found me yet, but i suddenly had my awareness of its existence as a hallucinogen raised a few nights ago, last friday or some shit, and if id have had some on saturday night after researching it, i would have had no qualms in taking it, and i knew full well i would have had a good trip.
so i have no trouble believing otherwise on the "it'll find you when you're ready" thing.

That'd be quite out the box in itself, big blob of C12H16N2 turning up at your door all "I was just coming to get you maaaaan".

i love lucid dreaming, except when i get too excited and wake up

I just get bummed out when I wake up for real and all my sick powers are lost.

I just want a big Koolaid looking Sasquatch thing to show up at my house and ask me if I've got my rain boots and I'm ready to surf the Diet coke river and then fish for seabass.

hell yea, Lucid Dreams are fucking awesome, it just really fucking sucks when you wake up and realize it was a dream, especially right when you are getting to the good part (sex, booze, weed, being a filthy rich rockstar, meeting one of your idols, going to another country etc.). I always wake up before the best parts.

Though I do love the ability to fly, or it being night during the middle of the day, being able to break the law without any consequences. Ah what a life

Fuck me!!! Now I really need some DMT!


and a bit OT: @Owen

your sig is for FTW! LOL @ Gareth

 

[Cacoph0ny]

anyone ever had sleep paralysis? shit sucks

 

[Ashgarth]

anyone ever had sleep paralysis? shit sucks

Lots of times, I think there was a topic about it some time ago...fucking annoying.

Also, lucid dreams are cool except when you hit people and never hurt them, like if you're hitting like a pussy...after that I always wake up wanting to kill someone

 

[sodapop808]

I used to get that shit ALL THE TIME... then it just kinda went away. I have'nt had it in years. I wonder what causes it?

 

[slashvanyoung]

hell yea, Lucid Dreams are fucking awesome, it just really fucking sucks when you wake up and realize it was a dream

Well, if you wake up and realize it was a dream, then it wasn't a lucid dream to begin with. Just an "ordinary" dream. But I know what you're talking about...

I only experienced it once after reading about it... and it was a nightmare.

I dreamed about having a serious car crash, that killed my girlfriend. I knew I was dreaming, but I wasn't 100% sure and I just wanted it to stop, so in my dream I threw myself to the ground ripping out some wet grass (it was raining) to evoke some sort of sensory overkill which would (hopefully) wake me up. And it did.

I don't know if you can reach a level where you can actually control the content of the dream, the whole context. In my case, I knew I was dreaming and it's nice to know that you can do whatever you want and the consequences will disappear as soon as you wake up... but you also may end up in a nightmare and that is everything but pleasing since you're more likely to remember a lucid dream more vividly than an "ordinary" one.

 

[Metaltastic]

Yeah, from what I've heard lucid dreaming is a discipline that takes a decent amount of effort, practice, patience, and luck to get the hang of, so I was kinda surprised to read so many people here claiming they'd experienced it! (probably a lot of miscategorizations, as you speculated dude)

Ahaha I did that once, I was dreaming there were something unknown haunting me in my house and was fucking scared so what I did was I crouched and grabbed my eyelids and started to open them like a maniac, it did woke me up!

Although I've tried really hard I never experiencied lucid dreams... never...

It's screwy sleep, that's all. Recall that your mind has to 'turn off' the connections between moving in a dream and moving physically in order to keep you from waking up in New Shitfuckistan any time you move in a dream; also recall that your brain has nothing better to do than try to confuse the hell out of itself. When some of these things are done partially or incorrectly, you get things like sleep paralysis.

A Lucid Dream is defined as you being aware of who you are and all of your actions your consciousness has opened up, in most cases the reality of the fact that you are sleeping can be hazy depending on how intensely you think about it. If you don't really think about the fact that it might be a dream, it never slips your mind, either way its really cool to have total and complete control, when I realize that I am dreaming, I usually spend a good 10 minutes running a muck before I wake up.

Also, lucid dreams are cool except when you hit people and never hurt them, like if you're hitting like a pussy...after that I always wake up wanting to kill someone

i hate that, also, lights don't turn on when you hit the switch, your image either doesn't exist or is distorted when you look into a mirror, just small little annoying things.

Holy shit; I've never experienced the mirror thing, but the "wimpy punches" and "unresponsive lights" motifs are incredibly common in my dreams (especially stressful ones), interesting to find out I'm not the only one!

 

[GarethSE]

i can just about direct the flow of my dreams, but i never go fully lucid, i have done a couple of times but it seemed pretty accidental.

watched an awesome documentary about dreams in psychology today. aparrently there's a link between REM sleep and depression. you know you go in cycles of REM Sleep/Non REM sleep, right? REM sleep is where you generally have dreams that are to do with more negative subjects. If you're woken up during REM sleep and are given a sheet of paper with loads of 3 letter things on it and asked to finish off the words, they'll generally be all to do with negative things. Non REM sleep is the opposite.
When suffering from depression, you skip the non REM sleep and spend far more time in REM

intruiging eh
