Is it normal to experience a vertical shift of consciousness from taking dmt?

Once I drank a lot of ayahuasca and I ended up blacking out three times in about 20 minutes. Each time I felt like I'd been dreaming for years, but when I woke up less than a minute later I couldn't remember what I'd dreamt. After the third time I noticed that my whole consciousness - my ego I suppose - felt like it was about an inch or two lower than it normally was. I felt like I was observing everything from a lower vantage point, like the core part of me was closer to the earth even though I was the same height. Anyone ever have a similar experience with DMT or other psychadelics? By the way, this was one of the most enlightening and amazing nights of my life.

    All psychedelics should change your life, if it doesn't it wasn't a good trip hahaha.

    Never tried DMT, however i likely will in the future.

    Not exactly, but I had a similar experience. I smoked DMT with my boyfriend and noticed during my trip that I felt taller and reality was speeding by me. I really noticed it when I was crossing a street. When the cars went by, I felt that I was looking at them from higher up than I actually was and their lights were going by like in Star Wars when the go into light speed. It was crazy.
