I don't really think it changed me. But then, I was already pretty changed by the time we made acquaintance.

actually ... DMT does seem to have a knack of making people see other worlds that still seem as legitimate and real as "normal" once the drug wears off. That is to say, it may turn you into an elf fancier.

The most striking thing cp ever learned from hallucinogens (psilocybe first) is that a simple molecule can completely tear apart your perceptions and put them back together again just as convincingly, but completely differently. It shows you that your normal daily "reality" is itself an hallucination, and has only a very slight and limited claim to being correct.

And it shows you how amazing your brain is at "faking it" and making believable bullshit up on the spot. It's like being a mother of two 14 year old boys, and suddenly discovering they'd snuck teaspoons into their rooms from the kitchen, removed a floorboard, and begun to dig. And dig. For months. Until they'd dug out enough room for an underground casino. And they'd been fleecing everyone from other school kids to dentists and lawyers for months, raking in tens of thousands of dollars a week.

Uh, that was going to go somewhere, It swears.

Everything will change you, but yes, psychedelics will change you. The main key is that you want to change or transition. Have faith in yourself, you are smarter and much more powerful and much more beautiful than you ever realized. DMT will open doors of magic and miracles and love for you, and then you will have the challenge of integrating that into your every day life.

Echoing the wisdom of these previous replies, I point out that indeed, "Change is the only constant." To a very large degree, your query depends upon where you are when you begin to journey... For many of us, DMT only validates the perceptions we had already grown into up to that point - with the DMT worldview matching our own, by and large. But, in general, keep in mind that all things (ie. you) are subject to change. The unevolved person may resist a change in identity out of fear... But this resistance doesn't excuse one from self-change, it just creates denial, delusion, and entropic stress. You will change regardless of DMT interaction, and so will your ideas, perceptions, and choices... The question is not will you change, but will you grow and heal?

My advice is not to concern yourself specifically with a change in perception or worldview per se, but to seek wisdom around how and why you suffer, stress, or otherwise resist happiness, peace, and love. Seek your own health and happiness, so that you may be contagious. Persisting in that curiosity will lead to the discovery of true wisdom, which as changes of self go, happens to be practical, grounding, and useful for yourself, your relationships, and the world.

Salud!

It has a suspicion that DMT (in particular among psychedelics) causes some people to believe they're hallucinating things that have some kind of equal footing with daily life. Whether it's the clarity and nature of the hallucinations themselves, or some feeling or sense of truth bound up with the drug experience, it doesn't know. It has had limited exposure to DMT.

It can speak from experience with many other psychedelics though. They all have a tendency to catalyze superstition and magical thinking if you don't have a very solid grip on logic and reason to begin with.

DMT goes way beyond logic and reason!
