Examining a DMT Trip: Types of DMT Visuals

Visual hallucinations with dmt are often of complex alternate realities. some people experience hallucinations so vividly they believe they were real. learn why dmt visuals are so vivid..

The drug  DMT  is mainly known for causing complex visual hallucinations. Users of DMT have had many different types of visuals from using the drug. However, many of the visuals have certain aspects in common. For this reason, if you or a loved one use DMT, it is important to know what to expect during a DMT trip.

Article at a Glance:

• The DMT drug is a hallucinogen and a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States
• A DMT trip often starts right away and can last up to 45 minutes
• Users of DMT often report that their visuals take the form of a complex alternate reality
• Although DMT wears off quickly, some visual effects can last briefly after the trip is over
• People with a history of mental health problems may be at higher risk of psychosis and longer-term hallucinations after using DMT

What is DMT and Why Does it Make You Trip?

N, N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a  hallucinogen . It is present in many plant species in South America, and can also be made in a lab. Researchers also think DMT might be  naturally present  in very small amounts in the human brain.

People often  smoke DMT to get high. However, DMT is also present in  ayahuasca , which people drink. DMT is classified as a Schedule I controlled substance in the United States. That classification means that it has no accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse.

People can have trips on DMT because of how it impacts certain brain chemicals, specifically serotonin. The drug works on areas of the brain including the prefrontal cortex, which controls perception.

What are DMT Visuals?

Someone high on DMT will often have powerful visual hallucinations. These often start  within seconds  after taking DMT. A DMT trip can last for  up to 45 minutes . Visuals from DMT use are often very complex and are not just a single hallucination, but the creation of a completely  separate reality . Colors in DMT visuals may be much  brighter  and more intense than in real life. Some DMT users report distorted  depth perception  during their trip. In addition, DMT visuals might  overlay  the objects and people that are around the DMT user, making the hallucination blend with reality.

Common DMT Visuals

Often , DMT visual effects will show the user an intricate alternate universe. The person may see many creatures in this universe as part of the hallucination. The person also may see a variety of strange objects in the universe. What sets DMT visuals apart from other hallucinogens is the level of complexity of what the person thinks they are seeing.

Good DMT Visuals

Sometimes, DMT users have hallucinations that they find interesting, funny or calming.  A doctor  wrote of some of the pleasant DMT visuals his patients reported to him:

• Jesters and clowns
• Riding a merry-go-round
• Spirits or beings coming to give blessings
• Intricate color patterns and swirls

Bad DMT Visuals

Sometimes people can have a bad DMT trip. Because DMT hallucinations are often of complex alternate universes, some users may find themselves in scary situations. In addition,  some people  who have used DMT have had psychotic episodes and more serious hallucinations. Doctors think that having a history of  mental health  problems may be linked to the risk of having a psychotic episode on DMT.  One doctor  reported some of the frightening hallucinations his patients had while using DMT:

• Being possessed by aliens
• Not recognizing their own bodies
• Sexual assault
• Being attacked by crocodiles
• Threatening, non-human faces

DMT and Outer Space

DMT visuals commonly involve beings that users think might be aliens.  One doctor  studied DMT in users and found that many people thought that aliens abducted them during their DMT trip.

These DMT users thought they were under the total control of the aliens. During their DMT trips, people often thought that aliens were experimenting on them. Sometimes, the visual hallucination of aliens was so intricate that it involved aliens using their alien language of visual symbols. When users came off their DMT trip and later used DMT again, many would go straight back into their previous hallucination of aliens. In some cases, DMT users reported the aliens greeting them and welcoming them back. The hallucinations during the DMT trips were so vivid that they convinced some people that their DMT experiences were real and not drug-induced visuals.

The Effects of DMT Trips and Visuals

Although DMT visuals quickly wear off as the body rids itself of the drug, some visual effects may linger briefly after the trip ends. These longer-lasting DMT effects  include :

• Feeling like the lights are too bright
• Thinking that objects move in a wave-like pattern
• Having more depth perception than normal
• Thinking that things are moving in a jerking motion

In addition, some people with mental health problems have experienced  psychosis  and hallucinations after using DMT that can last  for weeks.
