I am dreaming that I have committed a crime and must drink a poison that will kill me as my punishment. The poison is a thick black syrupy substance. A couple of people before me have just taken it. I take the poison and lie face down waiting for it to take effect. (In reality I am sleeping in this position.) My mother is sitting on my bedside ready to comfort me.
I feel only a slight tingling effect (vibes?) and have a slight hope that the poison might not work at all, but am still prepared for the worst.
I fall head first into a void. It is dark, eerie and bottomless. I have total uncertainty of what comes next.
"This is it. I am beginning to die," I think. "Now it is my turn to know what it is like."
At this point I become completely lucid.
"I will ride this out to the end and hopefully project," I think to myself.
My reaction was so sudden that it snapped me out of the trance state and I woke up.
(This experience happened after working a couple of days with the SSILD technique by cosmic.iron.
The experience has left me with a bad feeling. First of all I did not get to find out if that void ended up somewhere positive. Secondly, the I that was experiencing all this seemed cold and without emotion, maybe even slightly evil.)
It is great that you have experienced it. Congrats for that. Thanks for sharing your SSILD technique and dream.
