Abstract

This study investigated the sense of familiarity attributed to N, N-dimethyltryptamine (DMT) experiences. 227 naturalistic inhaled-DMT experiences reporting a sense of familiarity were included. No experiences referenced a previous DMT or psychedelic experience as the source of the familiarity. A high prevalence of concomitant features discordant from ordinary consciousness were identified: features of a mystical experience (97.4%), ego-dissolution (16.3%), and a "profound experience of death" (11.0%). The Sense of Familiarity Questionnaire (SOF-Q) was developed assessing 19 features of familiarity across 5 themes: (1) Familiarity with the Feeling, Emotion, or Knowledge Gained; (2) Familiarity with the Place, Space, State, or Environment; (3) Familiarity with the Act of Going Through the Experience; (4) Familiarity with Transcendent Features; and (5) Familiarity Imparted by an Entity Encounter. Bayesian latent class modeling yielded two stable classes of participants who shared similar SOF-Q responses. Class 1 participants responded, "yes" more often for items within "Familiarity Imparted by an Entity Encounter" and "Familiarity with the Feeling, Emotion, or Knowledge Gained." Results catalogued features of the sense of familiarity imparted by DMT, which appears to be non-referential to a previous psychedelic experience. Findings provide insights into the unique and enigmatic familiarity reported during DMT experiences and offer a foundation for further exploration into this intriguing phenomenon.

N,N-二甲基色胺(DMT)引起的熟悉感和熟悉感问卷(SOF-Q)。
本研究调查了 N, N-二甲基色胺(DMT)体验的熟悉感。共有 227 个自然吸入 DMT 体验报告了熟悉感。没有任何体验将之前的 DMT 或迷幻体验作为熟悉感的来源。研究发现,与普通意识不一致的伴随特征非常普遍:神秘体验特征(97.4%)、自我解体(16.3%)和 "深刻的死亡体验"(11.0%)。熟悉感问卷(SOF-Q)的开发评估了 5 个主题中的 19 个熟悉感特征:(1)对感觉、情感或获得的知识的熟悉感;(2)对地点、空间、状态或环境的熟悉感;(3)对经历行为的熟悉感;(4)对超越特征的熟悉感;以及(5)实体遭遇带来的熟悉感。贝叶斯潜类建模得出了两个稳定的参与者类别,他们对 SOF-Q 的回答相似。第一类参与者对 "实体遭遇所带来的熟悉感 "和 "熟悉所获得的感觉、情感或知识 "中的项目回答 "是 "的频率更高。研究结果记录了 DMT 带来的熟悉感的特征,这种熟悉感似乎与之前的迷幻体验无关。研究结果提供了对 DMT 体验过程中报告的独特而神秘的熟悉感的见解,并为进一步探索这一引人入胜的现象奠定了基础。
