Summary
Naturalistic field-study analysis of DMT experiences, including recurring themes of otherworldly environments, agency, and encounter content.
Why it matters here
Adds qualitative depth to the DMT entity record without treating subjective encounter structure as evidence that the entities exist independently.
Editorial note
Naturalistic and qualitative data are useful for mapping recurring themes, but they cannot separate external ontology from drug-induced phenomenology.
