1. Introduction to the Experience
This account details one of my trips on 4-AcO-DMT, a synthetic psychedelic compound. It was an intense experience that led to moments of deep introspection, emotional release, and visual phenomena, all of which shaped my understanding of myself, my relationships, and my place in the universe.
2. The Encounter with the Rhino-Dinosaur Entity
First Encounter
During a past journey with 4-AcO-DMT, I had an unusual experience where I encountered a translucent rhino-dinosaur entity. This strange creature appeared before me, and I felt an instinctual need to cross the street to avoid stepping inside it. The entity felt alien, yet oddly compelling.
The Recurring Entity
On this current trip, the same translucent rhino-dinosaur entity appeared again, but this time, it leapt directly in front of me. This surprise startled me, and in my shock, I accidentally stepped inside of it. The sensation of being within this creature was overwhelming, and as I stood there, more similar translucent entities began to appear around me. This moment led to bizarre thoughts about an Earth controlled by invisible rhino-dinosaurs. The experience felt surreal, almost as though the world was being influenced by some unseen force.
3. The Journey Back Home
3.1 Physical Fatigue and Dehydration
Around 4:30 PM, I began feeling the physical toll of the trip. My body grew increasingly tired, and I started to feel hot and dehydrated. Recognizing that I needed rest, I decided to head home and face what I considered to be my final demon—the anxiety surrounding my interactions with my housemates.
3.2 Social Anxiety and Facing My Housemates
As I made my way closer to my house, the intensity of the trip grew. When I entered, I experienced a shift in reality, a morphing effect that made the hallway in front of my room appear smaller and thinner than usual. My social anxiety heightened as I noticed my neighbor's door was open. I wanted to sneak into my room unnoticed, but I soon realized the trip seemed to be pushing me to face these social fears.
As I approached the door, the colors around me began to shift, and my vision grew darker, making it impossible to insert my key into the lock. This felt like the psychedelics were forcing me to confront my social anxiety. It was as if the universe was making it impossible to hide.
I then walked to the other side of the hallway, where I encountered my neighbor—someone I had never spoken to before. He was cleaning out his closet, and I asked casually if he was moving out. He responded no, and our brief interaction broke the tension. This marked my first conversation with him, easing my social anxieties.
Next, I spoke with my housemate’s seven-year-old daughter. I suggested we paint nails together soon, and the simple act of making this connection felt like another milestone in overcoming my fear of social interactions. When I finally entered my bedroom, I felt as though I had confronted and overcome my last demon—my anxiety surrounding my housemates.
4. Deep Introspection and Emotional Release
4.1 Crying and Emotional Catharsis
I sat on my bed, overwhelmed by deep introspection. A profound sadness washed over me, and I felt as though I could cry but could not produce any tears. It wasn’t until I drank a glass of orange juice that the tears began to flow. The flood of emotion was intense, and I cried quietly at first, then louder and louder, as if the tears were coming from somewhere deep inside me.
I reflected on the pain I had experienced and the mistakes I had made, crying for the part of me that felt missing. This emotional release felt like a purging of all the unresolved grief I had been holding onto.
4.2 The Role of the Mother Figure
During my sobbing, it felt as though a nurturing, motherly presence was holding me from within, comforting me during my emotional release. This presence seemed to cradle me, soothing the pain and allowing me to experience a profound emotional transformation. Eventually, the crying turned into giggles, then back to sobs, as the emotional cycle continued. I laughed and cried simultaneously, feeling euphoric as a sense of relief overcame me. It felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders.
At that point, I checked the clock, and it was 5:00 PM. The whole emotional journey had felt timeless, as though time itself had distorted.
5. Spiritual Realizations and Visuals
5.1 Unity and Interconnectedness
As I continued to process the experience, I felt a deep sense of unity with everything around me. I began to feel as if I were God, the creator of all life—humans, animals, molecules, and the entire universe. I no longer feared death, as I had come to understand that death was merely another part of the endless cycle of life. It all seemed like a big cosmic joke—something I had created and yet was still completely alone in.
5.2 Euphoria and Emotional Shifts
While contemplating these spiritual insights, I also began experiencing visual patterns, including the eye of providence on the walls of my room. My sense of self blurred, and I saw my reflection in the mirror. In my face, I saw the faces of all humanity—men and women across the globe. This experience of interconnectedness deepened as I felt my body in a new way, perceiving every muscle, every breath with heightened sensitivity.
I marveled at the beauty of my body, especially the detailed, rhythmic movement of my lungs. The sensations became tactile and enhanced, and I felt a profound connection to my physical form.
6. Post-Peak Reflections and Continued Introspection
6.1 Thought Connectivity and Insights
As the peak of the experience began to subside, I entered a period of increased connectivity of thoughts. I was fascinated by the way ideas flowed together, and I spent a great deal of time reflecting on the nature of my existence. I thought about my place in the universe, how I am connected to everything, and how I could improve my life moving forward. There was a deep introspection on what it meant to live meaningfully.
6.2 Christian Imagery and Psychedelic Experiences
Throughout the experience, I also found myself contemplating Christianity and its central figures. The parallels between psychedelic experiences and religious encounters became apparent to me, as I reflected on the mystical aspects of both. This connection led to deeper questions about spirituality, faith, and the nature of human existence.
7. Conclusion: The Aftermath of a Psychedelic Journey
As the effects of 4-AcO-DMT began to fade, I was left with a sense of clarity and a new perspective on my life. The journey had taken me through intense emotional highs and lows, spiritual realizations, and a deeper understanding of myself. It also provided me with valuable insights into my relationships with others and my place in the world.
While the psychedelic experience was a challenging one, it ultimately led to a sense of inner peace and connectedness, reminding me of the complexity and beauty of the universe we all share.
