This almost woke something up! At the end I was laughing for three minutes for no apparent reason.  It was after he said, regarding all the objects of experience “…I am not made out of them, they are made out of me”. Something in me must have got it.

August 30, 2014

Had a vivid dream where the whole universe was out in front of me and disconnected from me such that I was somehow un-identified with my experience.  I was mostly experiencing my face and so I started making faces, noticing how that felt physically, and finding that the experience of it was not “mine” and had nothing whatsoever to do with me.  Then I got up out of bed and continued making faces while walking but noticed I couldn’t see well. This caused me to immediately realize I was out of my body and I laughed and found myself in bed thinking I was awake but it was a false awakening.  I opened my physical eyes a few seconds later.

While the realization was happening it was very real and natural and I had the thought that it’s always been like this. It was a very “here and now” experience but it faded quickly and has left me feeling somewhat detached from everything, as if I’m in a lucid dream right now. later I watched a Rupert Spira video about identification and it had a strong affect on me.  I’ll post that next.

I like this – makes a lot of good points:
