When the strobes FINALLY stopped, I noticed Laura Miller had written:
:
: Well, I don't know that I should admit to this... but in that state
: between dreaming and waking, hypnagogia, when I am in what amounts to a
: trance, I have experienced the phenomena of hearing a "voice" telling me
: what to do; in this case, I'd been thinking how I should really get up,
: but not wanting to, and the voice of my roommate (by whom I may set too
: much store, bvz. "kings" and "gods") said something like "Reasonable
: people would get up now" or some such thing.

When under the influence of dimethyl tryptamine, one hears strangely
distorted voices of terrifying loudness and depth, which echo just outside
the room. But they are impossible to understand.

They scared the hell out of me the first time I heard them, but I soon
reliased that they were outside the room and not going to come in.
