Attacked by a DMT Jester in the Astral and the Physical Simultaneously

By Steffan Breum Valentine and Naja Schou, Netherlands

I was in Denmark with my girlfriend Naja when I had this DMT experience. We were in the final stages of a very positive LSD trip, but at this point there weren’t really any visuals or “alternative” thoughts. We discussed finishing what had been an amazing day by smoking a pipe of DMT.

I have a handmade pipe that I use for smoking DMT. It looks like an astronaut, but I like to think of it as a psychonaut. So, I sat myself on the floor with my back leaning against the couch. While I was getting comfortable and preparing myself, my girlfriend went around the flat lighting candles. When I was ready to blast off, she wished me a safe journey and gave me a kiss, as is usual for us when preparing to trip.

Several big tokes of the pipe and I was soon in an ultra-HD trip

Now I want to start by saying that I am very used to smoking DMT; I smoke it often, and in large amounts. I would say that I’ve smoked it in excess of 1500 times to date, so I don’t measure it out properly anymore. This time I loaded the pipe with 4 to 5 knife points of pure freebase DMT, followed by a layer of joint mix in order to include some MAOI effect from the hash.

I lit up the pipe and took 3 big tokes, held it in… but then my mind started telling me to take a few more. So I inhaled 5 to 7 big tokes and again held that in. The next thing I knew, I was being swallowed by the beautiful abyss; I went fully into a psychedelic experience. At first the music disappeared and was replaced by a humming sounds inside my head. Then the visuals began to emerge in a way I had never before had seen in any of my DMT trips.  

A jester entity appeared with a message for me

I was seeing the jester entity and lots of geometry, but this time it was like an update in ultra HD. Something in my life had been bothering me, and the jester knew about it: I was very frustrated that even when I introduced people to psychoactive substances, they often got no messages and didn’t understand. The jester said, “It doesn’t matter if they do not understand what you are showing them; you understand, and that what’s most important.”

At this point I heard my girlfriend suggest that I take another hit, so I did. Things started to change again, and I saw the jester here in my world, and all around me… but then he converged into a kind of tube, which I flew threw. In the end of the tube, the jester once more stood, and he was looking at me. Now this is where it gets really crazy.

The jester attacked me, and my sober girlfriend saw and heard it

The jester suddenly rams the tube he was made of into my neck, and my girlfriend (who I must reiterate had not smoked any DMT and had her back to me) suddenly turned around, because she heard what she later said sounded/felt like a big like bang. She told me that when she turned, she saw some sort of tube manifesting in this normal ”reality” at the same time as hearing this bang.  

I had instantly touched my neck because I felt physical pain there. I have never before experienced physical pain while using psychedelics, nor have I seen any manifestations inside this ‘usual’ reality. The same is true for my girlfriend.

I had a physical mark on my neck from the jester attack

This is the strangest part yet: when I came around from the trip, I had a red mark on my neck, and the spot was sore for a few days as if I had actually been punched in the throat.

We were so surprised that my girlfriend took a picture of the mark when I had returned to normal consciousness and explained it. Here’s the picture:

Even though this was obviously an entity interaction, there was no operating theme, as is reported in a lot of other DMT and ayahuasca trips. Needless to say, my girlfriend was pretty spooked for days afterwards, as she couldn’t understand how she, while feeling sober, had heard and what I experienced in my DMT trip.
