DMT

Fact: We all go under psychedelic experiences every night when we dream when our brains pump out DMT in order to produce the strange and revealing suppression of thoughts. So in a sense, you’re all habitual drug users.

Much like psychedelics give you insights, so do dreams. Imagine, let’s say you have a tumor (let’s hope not), and you know you have it but you don’t want to tell anyone. This becomes a supressed thought, the supressed thought believe it or not if it stays it will literally stay until you go mad as it eats away at your mind. But what happens when you sleep however, is that something relating to the tumor (The suppressed thought) will pop up, something so strange and sometimes revealing and right in your face, that you can’t help but to want to face it. It puts you into a mental arena where you have to face your thoughts and overcome them by not surpressing it. This is all thanks to DMT, which many scientists and even mathmeticians praise despite it being a psychedellic drug.

Here is a video of Mathematician Ralph Abraham explaining DMT and his experiences with it.

The Spirit Molecule explores the enigmatic dimethyltryptamine (DMT), a molecule found throughout nature, and considered the most potent psychedelic. In 1995, Dr. Strassman completed the first government-sanctioned, psychedelic research on DMT, with results that may answer humanitys greatest questions.

DMT: Wikipedia

N,N-Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) is a naturally occurring psychedelic compound of the tryptamine family. DMT is found not only in several plants, but also in trace amounts in humans and other mammals, where it is originally derived from the essential amino acid tryptophan, and ultimately produced by the enzyme INMT during normal metabolism. The natural function of its widespread presence remains undetermined. Structurally, DMT is analogous to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-HT), the hormone melatonin, and other psychedelic tryptamines, such as 5-MeO-DMT, bufotenin, and psilocin (the active metabolite of psilocybin).

Many cultures, indigenous and modern, ingest DMT as a psychedelic drug, in either extracted or synthesized forms. When DMT is inhaled or consumed, depending on the dose, its subjective effects can range from short-lived milder psychedelic states to powerful immersive experiences, which include a total loss of connection to conventional reality, which may be so extreme that it becomes ineffable. DMT is also the primary psychoactive in ayahuasca, an Amazonian Amerindian brew employed for divinatory and healing purposes. Pharmacologically, ayahuasca combines DMT with an MAOI, an enzyme inhibitor that allows DMT to be orally active.
