| | This will be quite boring for all the advanced meditators, however it's new to me so any comments are appreciated.
Last night I had been awake for a few hours from about 4am. Then I sort of had a strange short dream, while half awake. I tried to get back into the dream from my awake state. Then out of nowhere my whole body (except my head) began to vibrate, very strongly, like a coarse electrical vibration. I thought 'oh right, so that's what vibrations are'. Somehow I felt like I'd had this before but couldn't pinpoint the experience. It wasn't pleasant or unpleasant, but very physical. I just lay there as it happened, wide awake. Then as the vibrations continued I felt like a nudging of my right hip and shoulder, like someone was trying to roll me over to the left. It would lift and let go, lift and let go. I kept still because I thought if I move it might stop. Then I heard what sounded like a little yelp, which I pictured as a tiny little coyote off in the distance. Then that made me think of the Simpson's episode where Homer eats the hot chilli and goes off on a spiritual quest! It yelped a few times. Then I thought: how can I make best use of this? So I decided the best thing was just to just pay attention to the vibrations, and they soon stopped. Whole thing lasted maybe 2-3 minutes. No raptures, no bliss. : frequency was about 20Hz but that's very much an estimate. I have re-read every indexed reference to vibrations in Daniel's book, but can't seem to find where I might be. I haven't crossed A&P, so surely I can't be in Dark Night territory?
I wasn't actually meditating when it began. But my eyes did some strange movements as it came on. Probably not a lot can be said about this, is there? |
