There is a fine line between supporting a person and telling him or her what sort of experience he or she has just undergone. After a big dose of DMT, volunteers were extraordinarily suggestible, open, and vulnerable. These factors demanded exquisite sensitivity to the interpersonal field existing in the room at the time. Reflection, support, education, advice, and interpretation are quite different from criticism, argument, persuasion, and brainwashing.
Feeling and Thinking
Tor the most part, personal experiences with DMT stay within the confines of one’s own body and mind—the realms of feeling and thinking. As such, the phenomena we encounter are not very different from the sorts of things any psychotherapist hears in the office: body-based feelings and mind-based thoughts.
Most of our volunteers more or less consciously hoped for a spiritual breakthrough with the aid of DMT—a final resolution to questions regarding why they were born, or a union with the Divine in which all conflict ended and an unshakeable certainty prevailed. However, DMT, as a true spirit molecule, gave our volunteers the trip they needed, rather than the one they wanted.

The most sought-after and highly prized sessions were the transpersonal ones. These involved near-death and spiritual-mystical experiences. I describe these in chapter 15, “Death and Dying,” and chapter 16, “Mystical States,” respectively.
The last chapter of case reports, “Pain and Fear,” discusses the negative, frightening, and potentially damaging effects of DMT on our
volunteers. Here we encounter the negative aspects of all three types of experiences: personal, invisible, and transpersonal.
This introduction is a good place to begin addressing how we responded to what people said and did during their DMT sessions. In chapter 7 I described how, after administering the DMT, the research nurse and I sat quietly on either side of the person’s bed. We allowed the volunteer to have his or her own experience, with no more than the barest minimum of “coaching.” However, we could not maintain absolutely neutral and passive stances when someone began talking about confusing or anxietyridden experiences. If a volunteer needed our help and support, we provided it.

Three major groupings capture nearly all the various experiences within these reports. While most people’s actual drug sessions partook of at least two of these types, one particular category usually predominated.1 These three categories are personal, invisible, and transpersonal experiences.
Personal DMT experiences were limited to the volunteer’s own mental and physical processes. DMT helped open avenues to his or her personal psychology and relationship to the body. Chapter 11, “Feeling and Thinking,” presents several examples of this type of response. Once volunteers began approaching the furthest boundaries of this category, near-death and spiritual themes began to emerge. The personal then became transpersonal.
The hallmark of the invisible category is an encounter with seemingly solid and freestanding realities coexisting with this one. When these planes of existence were inhabited, contact by our research subjects with these “beings” made for the most disturbing and unexpected type of DMT session. I cover these bizarre stories in chapters 13 and 14.

While most sessions involved psychedelic amounts of DMT, there also were many low-dose and placebo days. These were more relaxed and gave us an opportunity to discuss and work through earlier high-dose sessions. It was quite helpful for volunteers to do this in a less altered, or even completely normal, state of mind. The shock waves elicited by a big DMT experience extended far beyond a single session, continuing to reverberate in all aspects of someone’s life for days, months, or years.
DMT does a lot to our consciousness, but not everything. If we can limit the number of types of experiences DMT produces, we can start focusing on a manageable number of hypotheses to help understand them. Developing coherent and reasonable groupings helps us make sense of the amazingly wide array of stories we’re about to hear.
Another reason to categorize these experiences is to support the hypothesis that outside-administered DMT elicits altered states of consciousness similar to those that people report during spontaneous psychedelic experiences: near-death and mystical states and the phenomenon we call alien abduction.

Introduction to the Case Reports
JLJuring each DMT session, I took detailed notes of every aspect of that day’s events: what volunteers said and did; how they looked, sounded, and felt to me; the state of the research ward, weather, and world politics; the behavior and emotional tone of others in the room with us, including the research nurse, family or friends of the volunteer, and visitors; and my own thoughts and feelings.
After I got back to my office, I dictated these notes, and my secretary transcribed the dictation into a word-processor file. When printed, these records occupy more than one thousand pages of single-spaced text.
Upon completing a particular DMT experiment, I sent the volunteer a copy of these notes to review. I asked him or her to edit for clarity, accuracy, and completeness, as well as to add anything that may have come to mind since finishing the study. Some volunteers supplemented my records with journal entries, letters, art, and poetry related to their encounters with the spirit molecule.

The 0.1 mg/kg dose was the least popular. The vibratory energizing effects predominated, but there never was a breakthrough into a full psychedelic experience. Volunteers felt “left hanging,” uncomfortably tense, both physically and mentally. “My body feels like pepper tastes,” one said. “This dose has all the negative physical effects without any of the positive mental ones.”
The lowest dose of DMT, 0.05 mg/kg, was pleasant, and almost all volunteers said they felt like smiling or laughing after receiving it. One volunteer who previously had used heroin thought this dose felt something like that drug: “There was a warm cotton batting sensation.” A few people experienced relatively intense effects from this little bit of DMT we gave on the first day. This warned us that the next day’s large dose might be especially powerful.
For readers familiar with other psychedelics, the effects of DMT must sound more or less typical. While its properties are similar in many ways to those of LSD, mescaline, and psilocybin, there is something peerless about the spirit molecule. I don’t know if this is because it works so quickly or because it possesses a unique chemical structure. Maybe it’s because the brain is familiar with, and actively seeks out, this endogenous psychedelic. Whatever the reasons, at the further limits of the spirit molecule’s reach, volunteers returned with tales of encounters neither they nor I knew were possible. It is to these stories we’ll now turn our attention.

They understood that the drug experience was essentially safe, that they would live through it and not suffer any psychological or physical damage. What also helped was their growing confidence in our ability to support their regressed condition as our work together progressed.
While the most stunning effects came from the high doses of DMT, smaller ones also produced a variety of responses, many of which volunteers found pleasurable and interesting.
The tolerance study dose, 0.3 mg/kg, was fully psychedelic, and for some was their “dose of choice,” causing the full spectrum of mind-altering effects with slightly less anxiety.
The next lower dose, 0.2 mg/kg, was the threshold at which typical psychedelic effects reliably emerged. Nearly everyone had relatively intense visual imagery, but auditory effects were rare. Some particularly sensitive volunteers preferred 0.2 over 0.3 or 0.4 mg/kg.

One common effect was a loss of normal time perception. For example, nearly everyone was surprised at how late in the session it was by the time they found out the time, believing only a few minutes had passed. Nevertheless, there was a sense of timelessness in the peak DMT state: they experienced an enormous amount in those first few minutes.
Volunteers usually found the high dose caused an almost complete loss of control. They felt utterly helpless, incapacitated, unable to function or interact in the “real” world: “I felt like an infant, helpless, unable to do anything.” DMT volunteers decided, at this point, they were happy to be in the hospital! Beyond their own loss of control, some volunteers felt another “intelligence” or “force” directing their minds in an interactive manner. This was especially common in cases of contact with “beings.”
Almost every research subject believed their first non-blind high dose
of DMT brought them “higher than they had ever been.” However, this
first session usually was more anxiety-ridden than any other high doses they received subsequently. Once volunteers were prepared to lose control, it was easier for them to do so.

While many research subjects experienced powerful feelings on DMT, both negative and positive, some commented on how unemotional their high-dose sessions were: “I tried to get myself worked up over what I was seeing, but I just wasn’t able to respond emotionally.”
Once DMT effects established themselves, the drug had surprisingly little effect on volunteers’ ability to think and reason. “My intellect wasn’t altered at all. I was just alert to what was unfolding during the experience”; “As I started coming down a little, I got journalistic. I became an observer.”
Others, however, sensed their thinking was abnormal and, in fact, even wondered if DMT might cause psychotic thought processes. “Everything looked right, but just a little off. It seemed as if the clock was just starting to move every time I looked at it. The colors in the room were malevolent.” Another said, “You know how schizophrenics talk about different meanings to things? A leaf on the ground takes on great significance? That kind of thing.”
