Experiences of having an encounter with seemingly autonomous entities are sometimes reported after inhaling -dimethyltryptamine.
The study characterized the subjective phenomena, interpretation, and persisting changes that people attribute to -dimethyltryptamine-occasioned entity encounter experiences.
Two thousand, five hundred and sixty-one individuals (mean age 32 years; 77% male) completed an online survey about their single most memorable entity encounter after taking -dimethyltryptamine.
Respondents reported the primary senses involved in the encounter were visual and extrasensory (e.g. telepathic). The most common descriptive labels for the entity were being, guide, spirit, alien, and helper. Although 41% of respondents reported fear during the encounter, the most prominent emotions both in the respondent and attributed to the entity were love, kindness, and joy. Most respondents endorsed that the entity had the attributes of being conscious, intelligent, and benevolent, existed in some real but different dimension of reality, and continued to exist after the encounter. Respondents endorsed receiving a message (69%) or a prediction about the future (19%) from the experience. More than half of those who identified as atheist before the experience no longer identified as atheist afterwards. The experiences were rated as among the most meaningful, spiritual, and psychologically insightful lifetime experiences, with persisting positive changes in life satisfaction, purpose, and meaning attributed to the experiences.
-dimethyltryptamine-occasioned entity encounter experiences have many similarities to non-drug entity encounter experiences such as those described in religious, alien abduction, and near-death contexts. Aspects of the experience and its interpretation produced profound and enduring ontological changes in worldview.
在吸入二甲色胺后，人们有时会报告经历到看似自主的实体。
本研究旨在描述人们将二甲色胺引起的实体邂逅体验归因于主观现象、解释和持久变化。
2561 名个体（平均年龄 32 岁；77%为男性）完成了一项在线调查，内容是他们在服用二甲色胺后最难忘的一次实体邂逅经历。
受访者报告称，邂逅中涉及的主要感官是视觉和超感官（例如心灵感应）。实体最常见的描述标签是存在、指导者、精神、外星人、和助手。尽管 41%的受访者在邂逅中感到恐惧，但受访者和实体最突出的情绪是爱、善良和喜悦。大多数受访者认为实体具有意识、智慧和仁慈的属性，存在于现实的某种不同维度中，并在邂逅后继续存在。受访者表示从体验中收到了信息（69%）或关于未来的预测（19%）。在体验之前自称无神论者的受访者中，有超过一半的人不再自称为无神论者。这些体验被评为最有意义、最具精神性和最具心理洞察力的人生体验之一，体验带来了生活满意度、目标和意义的持久积极变化。
二甲色胺引起的实体邂逅体验与宗教、外星人绑架和濒死等非药物实体邂逅体验有许多相似之处。体验及其解释产生了深远而持久的世界观本体论变化。
