Reply to comment by [deleted] in My 4y/o told me her dream about losing teeth without ever knowing it's a common dream. Are there any other examples of cross-cultural phenomena that centers on a specific narrative? by [deleted]

Similarly, the experience of getting "domed" on DMT often involves going to a cavernous place and meeting diminutive creatures (gnomes, elves, sprites, etc.) that eagerly ask you to entertain them. Eventually they tire of you and demand more, before sending you back out of the "dome".

Very cool. I honestly believe this is just a person mentally visiting other parts of their brain and not being able to understand that they’re experiencing so their brain fills things in with something they know to be diminutive. Then they talk to their different selves before moving on.
