Actually this one time I took mushrooms and I closed my eyes, started to meditate, and I got to this state of consciousness that is very similar to being asleep but still awake, sometimes when I meditate after a few minutes I feel like I’ve slipped into this kind of state and I’m able to recall dreams from the night before yet I’m not actually dreaming, but this time the mushroom effects took me deeper into it and I kind of drifted away and with my eyes closed I forgot where I physically was out in the real world and got into this non-mindful hazy bliss.
Once I settled into this experience I started feeling the type of subtle presence in the room that you’re talking about, but since my mind and environment was quiet and my awareness had a gradual descent I didn’t react or think anything, it felt sort of like if you’re hanging out with a friend watching tv late at night and you start drifting off to sleep and forget where you are or who you are with but you still feel the presence of a person in the room.
When I opened my eyes after 15-20 minutes of course no one was there and I was like huh, that was odd.
A friend of a friend told me “oh yeah, they were actually there. There’s interdimensional beings blah blah” I thought wow this guy is fried off meth. That was like 10 years ago, now I think there could be something to it.
I have heard of such things in the military, someone in Vietnam stopping all of the sudden for no reason at all when their foot was literally on top of a tripwire mere millimeters away from setting off a mine.
And also how units start finding out that when certain guys are in front they are safer because they are better at perceiving danger that others would not.
Personally I’m not particularly good at feeling presences or sensing eyes on me I don’t think.
Which makes it weird that I did on mushrooms.
