✦Description
A being walks you out. Reports describe a guide staying alongside as the space collapses, waving from the far side, or 'handing you back' into the body — the Nexus lexicon's waiting-room 'ushers' working the exit as well as the entrance. Notably, formal psychopomp figures — ferrymen of the dead — were entirely absent (0%) from Michael 2025's DMT sample even though they are stock figures in mythology and some NDE accounts, so the DMT escort reads as courtesy, not ferrying.
✦Interpretations
Experiencers describe the escort as care — proof the relationship persisted to the door; researchers note the return is the most predictable segment of the timeline, and an escort personifies its gradient back to the room.
✦What the sources say
Waiting-room 'ushers' and accompanied exits recur in community reports.
Ferrymen/psychopomps: 0% in the DMT field sample — the mythic death-escort is absent.
Psychopomp escorts in shamanic cosmology supply the comparative frame the DMT data mostly fail to match.

Is 'The Escort Back — accompanied re-entry' commonly reported?
Unquantified; a recurrent minority beat in community reports. Michael 2025 found 0% ferryman/psychopomp figures in DMT, so the formal death-escort of myth is precisely what these reports are NOT.
