A friend told me about experiences he's having while meditating.
here's what he wrote:
"Was just meditating and had this thing happen again that has happened a lot of times during my life, meditating or not. Wondering whether anything like it has happened to you:
This is what led to it happening this time: Clear mind of all things. Sink deep into nothingness and focus on the shifting light near behind eyelids. Make the vision become closer though, as if inside the shifting. Let attention go wide. Let anything that begins to materialize out of the shifting chaos come.
Eventually I find someone. Never the same person twice. I see them from the side usually, but then they notice that I'm there and turn to look at me. The hallucination (if that's what it is) is more real than normal reality in a way I can't pin down. Once our eyes lock I instinctively break out, even if I go in with the intention of staying there after our eyes lock. They never have expressions on their faces, or say anything. Just turn and look at me like and for some reason my instincts flee from it. No idea why.
Happens in dreams sometimes too.
any ideas?"
I've had hallucinations. The first time it was scary—not the content, just the fact that I was hallucinating—but they are never clear like this. Mostly chaotic and weird.
