I so completely relate to this,Lisa. Only last year I published a 360-page novel, Devin's Dreams, about lucid/vivid dreams, during which "thresholds" appear out of nowhere and my protagonist mysteriously ends up in a different dimension (timespace). Also last year I wrote a poem, "Fireflies", which I invite you to read in my substack page, about a rather personal experience in which I sensed I was actually given an extraordinary opportunity to see with my own eyes an alien landscape.
I love brain wave stuff! My partner has a lot of weird experiences during his dreamstate. It's very common for him to become aware within these states, and quite often he can't find a way out.
Whilst my dreams can be really potent too, I've also experienced these powerful states through my breathwork sessions. They mostly emerge as powerful feelings of interconnectedness and interwovenness of realities. My dreams very often show up in the waking world, not exactly the same, but more through thematics. Hell, even Human Design and astrology came to me through a dreamlike/hallucinatory state. At the time I didn't even know what I was seeing. But once I saw it in the waking world, it all made sense.
You did such a great job of explaining all the brain wave states. I, too, experience contact during altered states- for me, it is during meditation, for the most part.
Thank you for writing this out, I'm so excited for the workshop! 💙✨ Many people who haven't had these experiences themselves understandingly find it hard to believe. Their mental frameworks don't have 'space' to fit these types of experiences into them. Those of us who have had them immediately know what you're speaking of... Thank you for opening up discussion & a place for us to begin processing these things together.

OK, now you got me dipping my toe in it!

Oh thank you for saying so! There is so much more I could say but wanted to condense the info for now 😆 thank you for being here!
You are doing phenomenally well- I think you are making the entire topic accessible to anyone - even skeptics.
