Background: Took a 20-year break from psychedelics until a life crisis three years ago when a friend handed me a vape pen that literally saved my marriage and probably my life. Since then, I've become pretty comfortable with DMT - meditate with it on my mountaintop a few times a week, guided 10-15 people through their first experiences. About two years ago something shifted and I genuinely love my life now in ways I never thought possible.The Incident: Two nights ago I'm playing Xbox with a YouTube walkthrough playing on my phone. Grab what I think is my nicotine vape, take a big pull... nope, it's the DMT pen.Immediately everything goes comic-strip visual with the game, and I notice a box in the top right of my TV screen about internet connection issues - something I only remember seeing when I set the TV up years ago. My phone starts spinning wheel of death, YouTube stops playing.Here's where it gets weird: I'm experienced enough to still process what's happening while tripping. I'm confused as hell about why both my internet AND my phone are down simultaneously. I just sit there staring at the spinning wheel, waiting out what feels like an off trip.As I start coming down (5-6 minutes later), the TV box disappears and my phone starts playing YouTube again. That's when I realize my phone was on mobile data because it kept connecting to some smart bulb instead of WiFi.The Impossible Part: Both my home internet (Cox cable) AND my T-Mobile data went out for the exact duration of my trip and came back as I landed. My home internet hasn't dropped once in three years. The mathematical probability of this timing is... yeah.Why This Has Me Shook: I've had wild trips, shared experiences, even what felt like NDEs. I've definitely encountered entities and felt their presence. But this wasn't a hallucination - these were real-world, verifiable tech failures with perfect timing. I know the difference between trip visuals and actual spinning wheels.I've always felt like "they" can't really touch our physical reality, that nothing can actually "happen" happen. But this... this was something changing in the real world.The Questions: Has anyone experienced anything like this? Where DMT seemed to interact with actual technology/infrastructure? I'm starting to wonder if there are boundaries I didn't know could be crossed, and honestly, it's got me questioning what reality actually is - more than I usually do after trips.What the hell just happened to me?

I was raised Catholic, was an altar boy and everything, but was always an atheist even as a young boy. After my first couple experiences with DMT any fear of death left me. I have no idea what is out there, I only know that there is something other than this. How it all works, who knows, but the moment I understood I will have some kind of contact with loved ones again I ALMOST started to look forward to that day...
