Dmt and dreams

I recently had a very vivid dream which left me wondering about a few things. At one point, I was observing one of my friends who was boiling down some plant material in some liquid, apparently making a potent hallucinogenic mixture. Shortly after, he handed me a pipe which was packed with a powdery substance and informed me that it was "smokable ayahuasca". I took a hit and immediatly felt myself beeing pulled out of my body through a strange non physical space. This was a powerfull and overwhelming feeling and I thought "this is what it's like to die, I've been here before" my mind is a blur when I try to remember exactly what I saw or experienced, for the main reason I think that it was something out of this world and incomprehensible to my rational brain. However, I am convinced that it contained greatness and meaning as if it were an actual place where I had possibly been before in non physical form. I don't think the experience lasted very long and I remember comming off and thinking "so that's why they called it the vine of the dead". My dreams remained very involved and unusually vivid untill the morning.
Strassman's DMT studies suggest that the pineal gland secretes small amounts of dmt during dream states and larger ammounts in the case of some natural occurences (birth and death). My thought is that perhaps my brain was anticipating a psychedelic rush by the conscious thought of ingesting something which would produce that reaction, and therefore to produce such a vivid and intense experience, larger ammounts of DMT were released. There are other exemples of the body reacting to dream occurences such as physical orgasms in the case of sex dreams, or sweating during stressfull nightmares, the brain producing more dmt would be the equivalant in reaction of the will to explore the further non physical realms. This would explain why my smokable ayahuasca trip ressembled very much like a real dmt experience and why my dreams were so vivid during the night. It's just an idea, I'm sure there are many explanations..
I would like to know if any of you have had similar experiences and what are your thoughts.

Well, there was a time when I dreamt of finding mimosa hostilis, and knowing that I needed to add some syrian rue. I've never done DMT or Aya, so this dream stood out. I wondered if Aya was calling me, but your theory is very intriguing. I wish I could remember what happened after I found these things.

i've had some dreams in which i smoked dmt, it usually wakes me up before the experiance gets full blown. even wierder i once had an ayahuasca daydream once. i was just sitting on my bed listening to music, closed me eyes to listen closer and the colored eletric tunnels started up out of nowhere. i figured i was safe so i went with it and traveled down some geometric electric tunnel spaces (as i think of it) saw some poeple or something like poeple, saw some real world place. then about 3 minutes later i just got up like nothing happened.

I had a a dream, me and my best friend, and a dead guy, ..
My friend, was using smoke, (or something like that) to extract something from the corps.. while telling me that this was the wildest shit I would ever experience..
something about it being only so much in a body, and I could only get it from an other one (a corps)..
I think I woke up, when I "took" it. but it has gotten vague, I only recall it in feelings..
funny stuff! 
and BTW, one can get MAD drunk in a dream! :p
