They dream about the amount of time they spend talking on the telephone or watching TV is actually similar to what it is in waking life.

So dreaming is more like a selective simulation of the waking world.

It's not that difficult to explain.

Because your brain, from the moment you were born, your brain was learning to construct the world as a model of the environment.

This world is the only world that your brain knows how to build or should know how to build.

And yet when you introduce this molecule, dimethyltryptamine, into the brain, the brain suddenly starts constructing a world it never learned to construct.

It's like the brain is speaking a language it never learned to speak and doing so

flawlessly.

These worlds are of beautiful, crystalline clarity, perfectly finessed, staggeringly complex narrative complexity that I think is very difficult to explain.

There's no simple explanation of why the brain should suddenly become capable of constructing these worlds unless, and this is where things become more contentious,

We are indeed interfacing with some kind of intelligence.

That's the explanation that makes sense to me, is that somehow DMT is gating access to some kind of – the flow of information from some kind of intelligent source.

agent that is directing the DMT experience.

So it's not a sensed world.

It's not a kind of a dreamt world.

It's actually a directed world.

I always say you don't break through into the DMT world.

The DMT world breaks through into you.

It's like this intelligent agent has commandeered your neural machinery, the world building machinery of your brain and is directing everything that you see.

It has complete control.
