Has Anyone Here Interacted With A Medusa or Snake Like Entity?
I’m curious if anyone else has experienced something like this before. I have DMT visual experiences when I take larger doses of mushrooms (which is why I’m posting here). A few years ago, I have this experience and I just remembered an interesting part of it today that I’m curious if anyone one else had something similar happen to them.
I was using an eye cover and meditating as things started to come up. I ended up starting to have intense DMT visuals where I was starting to feel like I was in a place with limitless time/space. I kept getting the feeling like an entity was trying to guide me, but my subconscious kept ignoring them. I remember feeling terrible because I didn’t want to be rude and wanted assistance in my experience, but my subconscious (what felt like my larger self) didn’t see importance in it.
It was strange because these entities looked like snakes that were connected to something larger. What was interesting was at the end of the snake where its head should be was a symbolic shape and when I focused on it, I would be teleported into an “experience”. So I’d look at the head and would be put into a dream like experience where I instantly became less aware of what was happening and became more of an observer. Kind of like you have a dream and you aren’t aware of the fact that you see dreaming and you are just watching what is happening. It’s like that.
But then, I’d become aware (almost like when you’re meditating and you realize you are thinking and go back) that I was getting transfixed by the experience the snake like being was trying to show me. Then I’d like warp back to where I was before with the snake being in front of me again. And it would try it again, but putting this symbolic object (its head) in front of me and I would instantly jump back into an experience that it was trying to show me. But I’d become aware of what was happening and jump back out.
It kept happening and it got to the point where this thing screamed at me and I remember thinking towards it “I’m so sorry, I am trying to be open to love and this experience”. The thing screamed again almost out of annoyance. I remember thinking “where is the love?” And I felt pulled away. My higher self just didn’t give a fuck and kept ignoring it and I moved away from the beings and continued on with my experience. I had strong beliefs that these beings on mushrooms are here to help, so I have no idea why my higher self didn’t care. Maybe the being was positive or trying to distract me, I don’t know, but it was strange.
What was interesting was I felt this idea drop into my head that these beings I was interacting with are what the Greeks or previous civilizations told stories about Medusa or gorgons or whatever that stories are. That these things were snakes all connected to something larger. And by getting caught in the symbolic head of the snakes (like gazing into the snakes eyes) would pull me into an experience and “turn me to stone” by preventing me from further interacting or moving around the larger space of where these beings were. That was the main idea. Getting trapped into the experiences these snakes were trying to get me to follow (not good or bad, I’m not sure) was freezing me in place - which would be the equivalent of getting turned into stone.
I got the idea that those stories were symbolic and the actual meaning of the stories got anthropomorphized over time, but it was really some type of larger experience. Which is why these things are called gods - because they don’t exist in our reality. Anyways, hopefully someone found this interesting haha. Let me know if you’ve experienced something similar! I think my entire trip report is on my Reddit profile from a few years ago if anyone is interested. Consciousness is wild.
