DMT

The first step of a DMT trip is the come up that leads onto breaking through. A person notices an extremely distinct set of visual enhancements, most notably an increase in visual acuity and colour intensity. This is followed by a sudden onset of high level geometry, the body high, and the feeling of your body being pleasantly tugged in all directions at once from the inside. This is often accompanied by a soft crackling sound and an extended tone that quickly increases in volume and pitch.

Almost immediately after taking off, trippers often find themselves spending a brief amount of time in what feels like a psychedelic 'waiting room' or 'loading screen'. This can take any form but generally takes the shape of a tunnel or space comprised of fast moving geometry that lasts approximately 10-20 seconds and feels distinctively different from the main bulk of the trip.

Once the waiting period is over, the user will feel that they have broken through onto the other side. This is visiting an alternate reality that feels so real it seems to be better defined than real life, usually with a single or multiple external autonomous entities in front of your line of sight. These entities appear to have been waiting for your arrival, usually completely unsurprised by the tripper's sudden appearance.

The final stage is experienced as the sensation of being pulled further and further away from the scenario in which you were placed as the entities often wave goodbye and encourage you to come back when you next get the chance.
