My body doesn’t seem like mine and everything feels like a lucid dream

[kieranperez]

So I haven’t had any awakenings but I was just at a restaurant and as I was sitting down I just kinda slowed down and almost “zoomed outL without any control. I wasn’t trying to do anything or be more mindful but suddenly I looked at my arms on the table and there was this sudden sense of lack of ownership of my arms. I guess the way I could put it is that I was seeing my arms but there was no domination of concept of ownership or familiarity that these arms are mine. I noticed that i just had this sense (it wasn’t even a sense) of how such a notion that these arms are mine would make any sense. Then I was just looking around the restaurant at the walls, the table, the people and noticing all the ways the were acting and suddenly had that feeling of “what the hell is going on here”. Everything and everyone looked like this orchestrated chaos that was being run by something intelligent. Not something external but what I was witnessing was unconscious acts and chimpery but what I was witnessing was chaotic yet somehow intelligent. I just had this intuition of like “this intelligence disguised as random chaos.” Then I just had that sort of clarity that one often gets in a lucid dream of like “none of this is different from a dream.”

I think the big thing I’m started to get right now is how “in” the illusion we are. It’s the feeling of being too close to it and wrapped up in it. Even as I’m typing this on my phone I’m noticing once I draw myself back and realize and noticing my fingers typing how involved I am in the illusion. It’s so fucking subtle but so freaky. It’s that feeling one gets when they’re meditating and they learn to detach from the content of thoughts and they can notice thoughts as they and for what they are but now I’m learning to do that in “life”... whatever that is.

You're definitely going mad man. I would consult with a psychologist before it's too late!!

@kieranperez It's not madness. That's only to show you not to take life way too seriously. Nothing will ever last forever in this 'dimension'. Not the sufferings, neither the money that you accumulate, except the goodness that you left behind...

Focus on what really matters....and find the balance within~

@kieranperez was it like your able to look at things from a bird's eye view? Like your perspective had zoomed out? As if you was watching it all happening with zero control? As in observing everything with no physical attachments.

I have had similar experience probably two months ago, it never happened again.

I was going back home from my painting course (which included working with chemicals like oil). Then suddenly as I was walking, I went offline and my experience, life, self, or mind or whatever that is felt like something alien to me. I started wondering ; what the hell! What are these things doing? (I meant people in the markets and streets). I stopped identifying with my human body, it lasted for like 10-15 seconds and after that everything went back to normal right until now.

I didn't know what happened and still don't, hopefully someone here could help.

That is when you enter the state of true observer, do not know how far you got though.  

It is very nice experience to have if you are ready for it ,  just do not get afraid , because it will break all concepts of your reality.
