Has anyone else gotten the impression under entheogens that they have stepped beyond the film of this life into a "realer than real" reality? Someone on Reddit mentioned it as feeling as though they entered the "main menu" of their life... I thought that was a good way of putting it.
On ketamine, it felt like all aspects of my personal identity fell off: where I go to work, what I like, my family, understanding of living on planet "Earth", my fears, my loves... just sequentially, all fell off. Like a jack-in-the-box... the springs that were aspects of my life went flying out. What remained of "me" was a sense that I was somehow eternal as mind. Like entering the "main menu" of my life. Or stepping beyond the film of this life.
Call it the Truman Show, call it the Matrix, existence itself is trippy.

I get it on Shrooms. Mushrooms make my mind feel like its "running" better than usual, like that state is the "True" state of what my brain should feel like all the time. Its an incredible feeling.
Im a true believer that Psychedelics and Dissociative allow us to become closer to our Higher Selves, our Oversoul. Similar to dreaming, when we dream, we become closer to our Spiritual Self.
Its a special feeling to experience first hand.
The way I look at it, is that feeling when you go through several "false awakenings". Each "false awakening", you are so sure you have awoken. But, it's only when you actually awake into the waking world, that it becomes intuitively obvious that "oh, I'm awake now". Just as the waking world may be a "step up" from the dream world. There may be a step up further into a "higher reality" still. This is the world where I believe mystics and near-death experiencers dwell.

DXM and Ketamine are both dissociatives after all..
You dissociate away from all the bullshit in your life and experience the hearth of truth!
Wish I could get that magic back to be honest.
"Dissociative" is a very good word for it! But when I read "dissociative", I thought it meant it would help you dissociate from physical, bodily sensations. It numbs pain. That's interesting, but what's more interesting is that ketamine (I haven't tried DXM) also is a psychological dissociative, you "dissociate away from all the bullshit in your life and experience the hearth of truth!" Well said!
