Glad to know I am not totally alone in having such an episode.  I am not complaining too much because I actually feel more grounded in my waking state, and recharged since it happened.  I just wish I could have an idea when and how long it will or won't happen again.  I guess I really will have to set an alarm clock or something so I do not miss any appointments or obligations.  It is kind of bizarre, because it is not like I have a black patch in my memory, I simply have no memory of it at all.  

The oddest thing is that there was absolutely no sensation of leaving, returning, sleeping, or waking up...my timeline as I remember it is completely linear...I *felt* like I was consciously awake the whole time...so in my memory logbooks, it should have been, and felt like 30 minutes.  It's difficult for me to mentally grasp, that something like that can happen, which I have absolutely no recollection.

Oh well, now that it has happened, I would not be opposed to it happening again given that I feel better...but will definitely have to set parameters.

Anybody else out there have similar experiences?

Thanks, J.  

Hi all!  I recently had an experience and I am looking for an explanation.  I thought I would start here, since I could find no other reference.

I used to unknowingly AP when I was a kid, and thought it was just fun dreams.  To this day, it is very easy for me to reach the vibration stage, but as an adult, it is not often I go out and about, nor have I seriously tried to consciously.

Due to illness and a general feeling of "fed-up with the world" I have decided to start active meditation.  I found the Abyss.mp3 and I used it the first night with noise-canceling headphones and I was thrilled with it.  I could again reach the vibrational stage very quickly and remain there in a semi-conscious bliss.  Super-- thank you to the guy who put it out there!  I could still feel tingling in my brow chakra all the next day.

The second day, late afternoon, I decided to pop in Boxed Nirvana II and see if I liked it as well.  I got all comfy and listened intently.  I could feel the buzz, but not deeply.  I decided I liked the Abyss.mp3 better.  After trying to get into it for about 15 minutes, I was kind of hemming and hawing there for another 15 minutes and decided to get up.  The problem begins there-- I should have been laying on the bed about 30 minutes total, but in fact, when I got up, I saw it was more like 1 hour and a half.  I lost a good chunk of time I do not remember!

I was not sleepy, I do not feel like I slept.  In fact, normally, I cannot sleep on my back.  But to be honest, I feel really great.  I feel "rebooted."  However, I am disturbed that not only can I not remember falling asleep, I do not remember waking up!  To my memory, it seemed like a smooth progression of time.  Where was I?   I remember no adventures or dreams, it is just a missing space.  I had to check all the clocks in my house, because I did not believe my eyes!

I realized later that the Boxed Nirvana II I had put on CD had recycled, so after an hour and ending in delta, it had gone back to the beginning (beta) which is probably what disturbed me and made me decide to get up.

Any insight or hypotheses on what happened would be appreciated.

Thanks so much, and you guys have a great forum here, I am happy to find it.

Cheers, J.
