The Dream Thread

[Ankh]

I experienced something odd. I was done with a meditation, and as usual thanked everybody, but suddenly instead of opening my eyes, it seems that I fell in some kind of microsleep or something like that. In that "dream" I was seeing myself lying in the bed. I thought that I was awake, but now I see that I was probably sleeping; or maybe I was awake, but not my brain, I don't know... Anyway I could feel the difference between my body and "myself". So I tried to leave the body. When my head was outside the body, somebody shouted at me, and there was also an uncomfortable feeling or knowing that I shouldn't do that, so I got back into the body, but tried to "free" my legs. After a little struggle I could feel my legs in the air, but saw the physical legs lying there in the bed. That was awesome! I got really happy for achieving that. The feeling I had in that "dream" between the physical body and whatever form there is that inhabiting that body is very subtle; so I had to concentrate to feel that difference. And gravity that pulls you back into the body was extremely strong. It really took a lot of strength to fight it, to be able to hold the feet in the air, as they were drawn back into the physical body with quite a power. There were also people around me that I couldn't see who were talking quietly, and I knew that I was being watched by them. Nothing uncomfortable, just being watched. You know, like a mother watching her child playing and talking to her friend at the same time, but still having her eye on that mischievous child =) Then that "reality" or whatever it was I was experiencing started to change into becoming more "real" so to speak, and I understood that my brain started to wake up. I got disappointed thinking that now there was no point of trying more, and opened my physical eyes. Everything in that "dream" was exactly how it looks in reality: my bedroom, my body etc... Strange stuff...
