Lovely overview of the topic: and you're right, there has never been any convincing evidence that endogenous DMT plays any role in consciousness, let alone whether or not it exists in humans. |

Not entirely related to lucid dreaming, but it's in a similar ballpark... |

Intriguing video, Daniel! I've also heard Joe Rogan say that when a group of people take DMT together they sometimes have a group hallucination, in which they all experience the same thing. For example, maybe they all encounter a divine being who looks and acts the same way and says the same things (from the perspective of each of the people in the group). Do you think that's possible? Is there currently any good evidence for it? |

Also, I've read that DMT is produced by the lungs and the liver. Could there ever be situations (e.g., near-death experiences) in which the body produces enough DMT to induce psychedelic experiences? |

Erowid has lots of good information on DMT: |
