The feature that sets DMT apart from other psychedelics such as LSD or mushrooms is the persistent environment called "hyperspace". In short, various psychonauts over the years have discovered an environment - for lack of a better word - they named hyperspace, which consists of surprisingly similar perceived attributes _over many different observers_.
Experienced LSD/mushroom users know that there is a tremendous degree of subjectivity and symbol/archetype emergence in their trips. If I only had a few words to describe the LSD/mushroom experience it would be "lack of clarity". It's as if one is looking through a scanner darkly (personal unconscious).
With DMT, this is not the case. There is no perceived intermediate filter, nothing impure or fuzzy. One feels as if one is already there and directly interfacing with the space itself. Rather than exploring his own psyche, a DMT user feels like he's exploring an entirely new space. This becomes apparent even when dealing with the difficulties of trying to use shared language to describe the experience with other explorers in order to discover common attributes [1].

- akvadrako 8y agoThis is often my experience too - DMT is like being in VR. The geometry is simplified - lots of smooth curves and sharp angles, mostly flat textures or gradients. And it's populated by barely intelligent entities made of the same stuff.
