I will start with the description of the trip I had when this weird occurence first started. The dose was probably 45-50 mg of vaped dmt, as this is what I usually take. I was lying in my bedroom in the dark and I saw orbs of blue light dancing around and spinning in the air. The whole room was lit up with gentle and beautiful blue light. The orbs formed together into an entity, which continued it's dance. When it dispersed as I was coming down, I remember feeling ecstatic and amazed by what I've just witnessed, but then something odd started happening. I had thoughts in my head which felt as if they weren't mine, and they started asking a million of dumb and sensless questions - "what's this?", "how's that?", "what if?", "how?", "when?", "why?" etc. It felt as if my mind was broken or malfunctioning in a way. When the effect completely wore off, I was fine and without any foreign thoughts.
However, during subsequent journeys, the questions would appear almost every time, usually close to the end of the trip, when the effects start wearing down. I felt as if I'm slowly losing my sanity and wanted to stop taking dmt because of the feeling that something is in my head. I was running low on supply and kept journeying less and less often, but that didn't help. The questions started appearing during the first or second hit and would last throughout the trip. I was getting angry and once I imagined torturing the questions inside my head. How do you torture questions? I have no idea how to explain, nor do I remember how it exactly went down, but I think they didn't like it at all.
During one trip, I failed to take the full dose at once and had some leftover dmt in my vape that I took while the effect of the first hits was coming down. I don't remember if the questions were present in the first part of the trip, but after the top-up they came at full force. They were so loud, so obnoxious that they started forming into a tentacle-like entity. So there it was, a monstrous tentacle entity made out of dumb questions that were intruding into my brain from who knows where, wailing "how's this?" and "where's that?" and swaying around. This was one of their last appearances, if not the last one.
I had a break from journeying while I was waiting for more bark and once it arrived, the questions were gone. I've had several journeys since and things are back to "normal". However, I can't stop wondering what was the meaning of all that. What is the lesson that I was supposed to learn? Why did they appear, why did they persist and why are they gone now? I imagine that answering these questions is difficult without knowing me personally, but I would like to hear the insight of fellow psychonauts and if anyone else had any similar experiences.
