New study offers a detailed glimpse into the otherworldly encounters produced by the psychedelic drug DMT
Researchers interviewed 36 people immediately after a DMT trip. Here’s what they discovered:
- All 36 people reported “entering other worlds”
- 94% encountered some sort of otherworldly being or entity
- Entity encounters were overwhelmingly positive and often provided personal and cosmic insights (like self love or the game-like nature of reality)
- 81% described the trip as “hyperreal”
DMT increases theta brain waves, which are associated with dreaming, but it’s unclear why people have such similar “dreams” 🤔
