Is the “waiting room” somewhere you find yourself while still able to open your eyes on command? Also, do you ever have trips that are more “in the room” than in your head?
I definitely don’t think I’ve ever blasted off, I’ve seen people unresponsive for 5-10 and I’ve never been that…when I administer at home, I seem to cap out at this space where I’m inclined to but not forced to close my eyes and the geometry becomes a defined yet ever-shifting space that gains à conscience/prescience…but I’m not like, gone…and whenever I’ve had the absolute blessing to smoke DMT during a Tipper set, the trip was ENTIRELY external, like a crowd of 5000 people in front of me turning into ~20 titan forms, the dude in front of me standing forwards and facing me at the same time, the music layering upon itself and the Funktions “opening up reality” (I’ve never heard the whirring-up noise that people associate with DMT but I’ve both heard music step outside the normal confines of time and experienced the most beautiful alien symphonies in silence). I’ve watched the stars turn to Gods and throw themselves at each other. I’ve seen my friend’s Donnie Darko path as he’s passed me. I’ve ran to the bathroom and felt an unseen darkness wring every last drop of piss from me. But it’s always been either “really prominent and in my open-eyed” or “mild closed-eyed”
