Substance: LSD (1 tab)
Age: 18 i think?
Mindset/Body effects/Afterglow:
Mindset was similar to highly sativa strain, but even more cerebral and more sober-feel. I felt like I had coffee. So I regret I took it few hours before midnight - I was tired, but "caffeinated-like" at the same time for the whole experience (not very enjoyable) and went asleep at 3 am. Slept for 3 hours and felt totally mentaly and physically refreshed for the whole next day, not what I was expecting at all, nice surprise.
One bad thing I noticed was poor attention during the trip.
Visuals:
Textures got "alive" everywher I stared, mostly while focused on stationary objects. Like they were decompositing into their layers showing eachs layer separately fading them smoothly into each other.
When in motion I could not recognize any visuals at all. They seem to like stationary objects.
Shadows were dancing everywhere.
Colorful blurred moving light patters on textures. Even more colorfull and sharp geometric (carpet-repetitive like) patterns filling large black areas (it was midnight). I believe these were CEVs and I would see them if I closed my eyes, but I've never closed my eyes during the trip, another thing I regret.
People had caricaturistic faces, exaggerating their facial features and gestures.
Trees looked like oil paintings - the most wondeful visual of the trip imo.
Waves of sparkly/matte were flowing on every texture - the first visual I noticed.
Substance: DMT (15 mgs vaped)

Mindset/Body effects/Afterglow:
There is always a little shock and anxienty when it starts to kick as it kicks really fast and really strong. The mindset is as sober as LSD, but doesn't impair my attention as LSD did. At higher doses mind wanders far away from concepts of reality, but still being sober-like. The body effect is somewhat opposite to LSD. Extremely relaxing almost sedative - 50x more powerfull cough-lock than from indicas. At low dose you could move, but you really don't want to. Then it tries (and on higher doses succeeds) to detach the mind from body completely. There is no body anymore, never was. There is no universe anymore, a new one on completely different laws replaces it and absorbs you completely until you're back from breathrough. It is like a dream, in a way that during it you believe it and don't remember the real past. Eyes are moving under eyelids and body is paralysed (like sleep paralysis). But the scenario is completely otherwordly different than a dream. When you get back, it feels like waing up from an intense dream, also it's as hard as dreams to remember after (I have very hard time remembering it, it took many attempts and still I can only tell so little, imo it's mostly because of mj, it seems that mj has the same effects on DMT as on dreams - dulling them and making them even harder to remember). If the afterglow is positive or negative, that depends on positivity of the trip itself. If it was wonderful, I can be ecstatic and enjoy residual visual that last few minutes. Then I just feel spacey for a while until back in complete sobriety.
Audiovisuals:
Prebreathrough visuals are similar to LSD, but of course different.
At first colorless (textures decompose, but not color-wise, object boundaries deform/vibrate/tear apart).
I never had shrooms, but I imagine they are closer than LSD to prebreakthrough DMT visuals.
I see faces on wood patterns eveywhere.
At higher doses it becomes incredibly colorful, 4D-like complex, sharp detailed and super-HD.
All textures are like an infinite fractal windows to whole new universes.
Alienish pulsating sound is heard increasing on intensity togehter with visuals.
At one point, the vision destabilizes and falls apart in fractalish manner. At the point where I am curently looking at, there grows a whole new 3D/4D world, and evolves and evolves and evolves. Droste effect everywhere. Feels like a fractal zoom, but also morphs in all axis of 4D space and objects grow out of everything. And then another objects grow from that objects and so on. When I close my eys too soon, it is very colorfull and geometric. When I leave them open for a while, it is extremely photorealistic kaleidoscope of the room I am in. Very cryptic looking. Eventually both types fade in one other alienish world. 3D metrics don't apply here. You couldn't draw that because it even more than 3D i think. It had 3D feel to it, but I knew that I could reprodure anything like than in 3D. Yet it was perfect, everything was brillantly connected. I didn't breathrough yet (well, was quite near as you can read, but still not there), but I think I have some clues what it will be like.
