What's happening to me? Endogenous DMT production?
    #19611037 - 02/24/14 04:11 AM (10 years, 12 hours ago)

I typed this out for another thread in The Psychedelic Experience but this is something that I've been wondering about for years and I thought since I actually typed it out, let me ask you guys in this forum. Y'all seem to know a lot about strange things like this.

Ever since I was about sixteen years old, I've been having these experiences that I can only hypothesize as natural DMT production. I've thought about it a lot and it's the only thing that makes sense to me. I think my brain is either more sensitive to DMT or it produces more of it. Besides everything I'm about to say next, one thing that makes me think that this is indeed caused by endogenous DMT, is the fact that when this happens, I can look at bright lights in order to make it not come back that night. If I don't and just go back to sleep, this inevitably happens over and over until I wake myself up by walking around or looking at lights.

It always happens at night and it just so happens that when melatonin production is at its peak is when it's strongest. I am asleep when it starts but I can keep it going when I wake up. I can feel it starting because I'll be having a very strange dream and there's a certain sensation I get in my head when it happens.

The sensation is a buzzing towards the front of my head starting from the middle. If I stay asleep, whatever dream I'm having at the time becomes very realistic. If I don't wake myself up which I've learned to do over the years, eventually the buzzing becomes so strong that it wakes me up.

If I wake up and keep my eyes closed, I start seeing images forming in front of my eyes. These images are seemingly random objects quickly rotating and changing into different things. They seem to come from my subconscious because the images I see are things I think about or have seen. This is accompanied by a high pitched buzzing noise and the feeling of the front of my brain vibrating. If I continue to relax rather than open my eyes and get up, all of these things start getting stronger and stronger.

Eventually (I don't know how long the process takes but it's not long) the images start rotating in a manner wherein they start forming a portal or a tunnel of sorts. If I continue, I start having the sensation of traveling through this tunnel. My speed starts picking up quickly. The noise is increasing in volume as I lose feeling of my body. Eventually I'm traveling very fast and I feel like I'm about to break through to the other side of this tunnel. However at this point the noise becomes SO LOUD that it's unbearable. To be honest the whole thing scares me and I've always snapped myself out of it before I come out of the other side of this "tunnel."

The sensation I have when I come out of this trance is of my body being some time behind my physical body if that makes sense. Like let's say I turn to the side - my physical head and body turns but where I feel my body is is lagging behind. I'm pretty sure that's where people got the idea of an "astral" body.

One thing I noticed when I had my first ayahuasca experience is that DMT produced the SAME buzzing in my head! That made me pretty much convinced that what I'm experiencing is endogenous production of DMT.

This actually happens very often to me and seems to come and go in phases. For example, the intensity will peak over a couple weeks or so and then go back down over the same amount of time at which time I don't get it at all.

My mother told me that she used to get the same feelings when she was young which suggests it's a sensitivity for endogenous DMT that is in my genetics.

This started happening when I was about 17 years old and I was trying to astral project. As I would go to sleep, I would clear my mind but maintain my consciousness. Basically I would let my body fall asleep and keep my mind awake. No thoughts, just awareness. If I do this, the exact same thing happens. I start feeling the buzzing. The tunnel begins to form. The noise starts getting louder and louder. And even though I've done it a bunch of times, I can never get past the point where the sound becomes extremey loud and where it looks like I'm about to come out of the other side of the tunnel.

Ugh, I kick myself because I'm too big of a pussy to go through with it and see what's on the other side. :thumbdown::frown:

The closest I've gotten, I tried to bear through the noise and I had the sensation of being shot out of this tunnel into a different location. I could actually see a different place with people there. And yet I stopped myself. I was scared. And I still am.

I've wanted to make a post about this for a long time but I never found the right opportunity.

I hope someone has heard of something like this and point me in the right direction.

You could have "Syd Barrett Syndrome"

All jokes aside.. It's dangerous to -assume- that your brain is just pumping Dimethyltryptamine at random.

It may be something as bad as a brain tumor, it could be schizophrenia manifesting itself, it could be you live in a magnetic field where aliens land to refuel. You never know. The fact is, Melatonin and Serotonin only resemble DMT on a molecular level, that was the basis for Strassman's pineal gland hypothesis; nothing so far, other than Joe Rogan, suggests that our brains directly manufacture it.

Puberty, wet dreams, little late onset, but nothing to worry about.  :cheers:

Everything is better than it was the last time.  I'm good.

If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care.

It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence.

I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too.  If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

The body definitely produces DMT and 5MeO-DMT. They have been found in the cerebro-spinal cord. Some researchers thought that schizophrenics were unable to metabolize DMT and had a build up in the cerebro-spinal region.
