I was reading a thread on reddit about people who have had near death experiences and thought I'd share with you one of the stories which is relevant here. Keep in mind these are normal everyday people, not awakened or into LOA stuff, so for them to say this is very cool:
"I don't want to get into details
about the leading up to because it was
extremely traumatic, but I'll describe
the experience from the point when I
"died". Have you ever been watching a
tv show or movie and got so caught up
into the story that you forgot that
you were sitting there, watching it?
And then a commercial comes on and
you're snapped back to reality like
"Oh yeah I was watching a show!".
That's what dying felt like to me, at
least initially, that my entire life
was a silly show I was focused on and
forgot that it was simply a
distraction from what was REALLY
happening. It was the most frightening
thing that has ever happened to me
because it felt FAMILIAR. I was not
religious, I was agnostic at best, but
a better description of my beliefs
would be "never * thought about
it".
Huge paradigm shift, I had
something similar to PTSD from it
afterwards, I didn't speak to anyone
for probably a week trying to figure
out what it was that I experienced and
trying to make sense of it, and how I
should view life now that I saw these
things.
Here's the just of my
experience: I fell out of the 3rd
dimension into...another dimension?
It's hard to explain. I could still
see the visage of my last images, and
the people around me looking at me
scared, freaking out. I could see
everything from all angles and time. I
saw an infinite amount of other views
of the same experience with small
differences, people looked a little
bit different, objects looked a bit
weirder.
These were all arranged
together like a moving fractal. Time
was solid, I could look into my past
and see random events that happened to
me when I was a kid. Obscure stuff
that I recognized, but never thought
about again. My life experiences as I
chose them, formed an object, to me it
looked like a loaf of bread, but it
wasn't actually a loaf of bread. It's
hard to explain.
There was a
communication to me in my head when I
wondered why my life looked like a
loaf of bread that all realities are
existing at the same time and that
random objects in one, like a carton
of milk in the grocery store, could be
pieces of entities, or even
experiences in another time or
dimension.
An experience that happens
to you in the third dimension, could
actually be a manifestation of a being
in a higher dimension. There were
entities. In between the fractals of
images of realities there were rainbow
bands where realities kind of meshed,
I focused on those and inbetween them
were black areas where no realities
existed, inbetween areas I guess. In
these were entities that became of
aware of me when I focused on their
space. They seemed interested that I
was there, I guess, more surprised in
a completely uncaring way, like "Oh
hey whats he doing here, that's kind
of weird, whatever." I started to
freak out and all the realities around
me started to become altered by my
fear.
REALLY scary started
appearing like evil demon faces that
started biting me. The entities sort
of nonchalantly told me that I will
manifest whatever I'm feeling.
Eventually I decided that I wanted to
go back into my reality. I tried to
find the one that I fell out of when I
died, but I wasn't exactly sure which
one it was. I chose the one that I
recognised a close friend of mine in
and was looking at me sad. I went in
and that's when I woke up.
No
transition. Just like I got close to
the 2d image of my last viewpoint
before dying and it wrapped around me
and I was there alive again seeing the
"inside the head" view that I last saw
before dying. It took me about 5 mins
to even understand if I was actually
alive again, or if what I just
experienced was the transition to the
afterlife. Sorry if this made no
sense, I can answer questions if you
have any. I know it sounds
bonkers but maybe it was just
chemicals in my head that created all
the visuals. I'm not sure. I still
think about it everyday and I no
longer have a fear of death because of
it."
This rings true and dreams often communicate the way you describe, by condensation meaning. Perhaps this is the way our creative self thinks, in a shorthand we understand.
