I was primed for a play session, not a cross over.
I can't play video games for shit. But I liked them when I could. I gave them up when "the boy" was 8. He kicked my ass so bad I simply had to stop playing them. The bad wrists and hands were my excuse.
So "the boy", who is no longer a boy, sets up the X-Box (or whatever it was), puts a racing game on, and twiddles for a bit so the car can fly and is in God mode, ie: cannot die.
I settle into the perfect comfy couch. He hands me the controller.
In the past, I would use DMT for (hmm, thinking here WAY too long).
Ok, let's face it. I don't know why, but I enjoyed about a 1/2 a dozen "experiences" before this one.
When going for physical play, DMT gives me beyond cat like reflexes. I can snatch a ball flying behind me without even trying to see it. I just pluck it out of the imagined air space. In a repeatable fashion. I have a dancer's body (sorry, I'm a guy), and when the music kicks I simply flow with it.
But beyond that, it allows controlled time dialation, at least as long as your life doesn't depend on it. When playing a car racing game, my typical high speed is about 50% before I lose the ability to see the distant obstacles (for planning) while reacting to immediate turns and threats. And I get WAY over stimulated at the adrenaline kicks in during play.
When playing under DMT, I can push the car to its limit, while watching the horizon for new issues, while dodging and weaving local traffic. Without breaking a sweat. While getting a blow job from my then girlfriend and now wife. Hey, I needed to try. Just because you get old doesn't mean you have to grow up.
But in this case, I was simply going for driving, my gf wasn't there, and it was play time.
I take the hit. It's strong. When I do the extract, I know the strength can vary, but sometime I forget I can occasionally get one like this without warning.
I'm told that it was really tough for the boy to get the controller out of my hand, and he was worried I was going to break it. I was "clawed" and clenching. My GF is a nurse. The boy was about 3 minutes of waffling between calling an ambulance, calling her, or waiting it out. He did not know that DMT cannot kill you. Well, as long as you don't have a physical accident or puke / inhale vomit.
Inside, it was much different.
I woke up. I was lying on some type of gourney. There was something/somebody pushing it, but I could not see them. I leaned up for a better view. I was being rushed down a wide hall. It was very bright white ceiling and walls, high ceiling. The walls had rectangular cutouts, like they were wide openinging into rooms. There was a continuous stream of them on both sides.
In each room was a scene from my life being being experienced. I was in it, along with other people. But I could only see each room for about 1/4 of a second, and I had them on both sides, as I was zipping along. And then I realised: Wait a second, I didn't marry that one. And then I saw the rooms contained not just each moment of my life, but moments from all possible decision points in my life. I saw my grandkids with a girlfriend I didn't marry. And I was with them. And every decision point in between.
This went one of an unknown amount of time, but felt like several minutes. Lots of scenes to absorb.
The gourney slowed down, but continued to move, the cut out walls disappeared, and dimmed out, to be replaced with swirling colors. Then is stopped.
Let's see, what the fuck is happening?
I just got what seemed to be a classic life flashes before your eyes, but with some additional twists. Hmmm.
Dead. I must be dead. What the hell was with the decision point splits? Are they parallel universes, created on each decision? I guess I can see them when I'm dead in one of them. Hmmm. What's next? No fear, none. I simply accepted I was dead.
The light flashed on, blinding, and someone was standing there. I could only see their outline, along with the flowing colors emanating from them. Hmm, godlike apparition, makes sense. Yup, I'm dead.
But then the godlike apparition solidified into my son, but he was older, wearing a lab coat, asking me what seemed to be orientation questions.
Hmm. Not dead? Back from dead? The boy's smart, but I doubt he's managed to actually get me a new body. I wonder how long I was dead. If not really resurrected, then what? Oh, I know, I must be a computer simulation of my conciousness that the boy coded up from a scan of my brain. Yeah, that makes sense, I'm good with that.
Again, how long have I been dead? He doesn't look that old. How much tech advancement has passed since I died? No way, he's too young. Shit, maybe I'm a pure code simulation. Am I sure? He quizzing me. I guess I can try to answer.
mumble mumble mumble. yes, I'm fine. What year is it?
He understands nothing. He's worried. Why?
The room coalesces back into something I recognize. Hmmmmm.
WOW!?!?!?!? That was DMT? And the hit setup returns into my memory, and it all makes sense again. And at that point I'm ok with death. It doesn't give the same uneasy thought sensation that it used to.
