Why the prejudice against elves Declan? I have no opinion on elves as such, but I have met them myself them while hallucinating on Ambien so I understand where Terrence McKenna is coming from.
Snakes and Jaguars are the most predominant of all the creatures seen on Ayahuasca. I think the effects of pure DMT are different from when it is taken as part of them Ayahuasca brew. Have you read "DMT: The Spirit Molecule"? I have just bought it and flicked through it briefly. There seem to be quite a lot of descriptions of clowns and merry-go-rounds from pure DMT trips.
I'm just cheating on my "Antipodes of the Mind" book by reading "The Psychedelic Experience: a manual based on the Tibetan book of the dead" by Timothy Leary. Dubious though it sounds, there seem to be many references to and explanations of that flattening of the visual field and emergence of patterns you speak of.
It sounds as though you may be suited to an Ayahuasca ritual Declan. I suppose it may help heal mood/anxiety problems etc?
My initial plans for attending an Ayahuasca ritual in Peru fell through, but now I am considering going to this retreat along with a friend who suggested it to me who has similar problems: http://www.bluemorphotours.com/default.asp
