My response came from my experience having used DMT as well. I never had a negative trip. It's more like a theme park ride. It may have some scary or wild parts to it, but once it is over you may look back on it as a great experience.

If you do try it, you need to change your mindset. You are expecting the worst, and that is exactly what will be imbedded in your subconscious expectations, which could easily be manifested during a trip. You must clear your mind of doubts and fears and fill it with confidence and positivity. That is essential to enlightenment in any realm of seeking.

When someone says "Lucid dreaming has 1000 times the potential of any drug," that is subjective. Not everyone is able to tap into the complete potential of LDing. Very few people are able to truely able to maintain control in a LD. Some people are enlightened by LD experiences, but often it is derived from things that are symbolic or representative of something meaningful. With a DMT trip these things are often cast upon you forcefully, instead of you having to pick away at the meaning. It depends which you prefer. You are in a fully conscious state, having images and thoughts from your subconscious raining upon your vision and mind. You simply must do your best to soak up all you can, and to avoid being overwhelmed by the magnitude of it. Then again, some people are not in a mindset for learning and just sit back and goggle at all the shapes and colors.

I say, if you have a very good foothold in LDing, and are quite able to exert control in them, you probably don't have any need for something like DMT. But LDing is something you will have all your life, and DMT a possibly once-in-a-lifetime experience. Is it worth it to you? Just ponder it.
