The Encounter

The person had a DMT experience three years ago while visiting someone to collect rent. After watching the other person smoke DMT, they decided to try it themselves. During their second attempt, they entered a vivid experience where they saw everything at a molecular level. They noticed a UFO hovering outside and felt the presence of a large praying mantis. The mantis seemed to communicate telepathically and scanned the person's brain. After the encounter, the person felt slightly groggy for a short time but otherwise returned to normal. They were surprised to find others had similar experiences with praying mantises on DMT.
