The Creative Process
The creative process has four stages, which occur during DMT. Each stage contains a smaller set of goals which correlate to the larger purpose of DMT. The stages and goals of DMT vary with each individual. Although the stages are progressive, the stages are usually revisited several times throughout the entire DMT process. The four stages are:
- Preparation: the warm-up stage, safety is established
- Incubation: relaxed, let go of conscious control, movements become symbolic
- Illumination: meanings become apparent, can have positive and negative effects
- Evaluation: discuss significance of the process, prepare to end therapy
