Huge Increase In Daily Meditation Leads To First False Awakening. (false Awakening In A Dream)

1 post in this topic

   So I had my first false awakening in a dream.(Google false awakening) I woke up in a dream believing I was in the real world, and that I was awake. This ended up leading to one of the oddest experiences I've ever had. I woke up (in the dream) and said to myself "alright, my back hasn't taken so kindly to all the sitting lately so I'm going to meditate lying down." I think I did some Vipassana or Do nothing. Within a few seconds I realized this isn't an ordinary meditation session. Suddenly my visual field is completely spiraling into oblivion and I see a collage of psychedelic like images. (Blending, spiraling and melting of the whole spectrum of colors.) Then I was completely taken over by the strongest current of energy I've ever felt course through my body. (Dream body though, even though it REALLY felt like it was my actual body) Which in turn led to the weirdest thing my body has ever felt.(although words don't really describe the oddity of the sensation) My jaw started uncontrollably chomping up and down as if I was some robot trying to completely demolish a metal carrot. (It was some strong chomping, all the while I'm experiencing the crazy visuals and body is going through some sort of convulsive exorcismesque experience.) Then I didn't even wake up or assume this a dream, I just thought I was having an extremely crazy meditation. I manage to open my eyes and get a hold of myself. The jaw clenching/biting thing stopped, the energy dyed down a bit, but vision was very impaired. Everything I looked at had this vibrant glowing overlay to it.(Similar to maybe a visual effect you'd edit into a photo or a video. I'm not sure which effect.)  Anyways I make my way to my computer and start typing into google - "Weird convulsive chomping during meditation". Some links show up and the only one I actually read said "some possible negative side effects of meditation". I click the link and am flabbergasted that I've never heard of this sort of experience before. As I'm about to read the article I'm suddenly no longer in control (I think I went unaware mode like normal dreams) and the dream took over.(like I was ever really in control though) I forget what happens next..some vague experience about me going downstairs, and asking someone for assistance.But then something that I thought that was even more wild; I woke up into another dream believing I had actually woken up!(again.. lol) The scene was my living room at my parents house. I was surrounded by a few friends and some family members. I starting telling all my friends and family the crazy shit I just went through. This is where it got semi real for me and tapped into some insecurities that I've not really taken seriously. I tell them that I've had some odd experience during my meditation and that I don't feel right. They end up saying "looks like we've got to take you to the loony bin." and "See!! Meditation is terrible for you." and then "You're so nuts." All of which was stated in a very authoritative abrasive tone. It really made me feel like I wouldn't be accepted, and what I'm doing is completely wrong and not needed. It had a nightmareish feeling to it, and I was filled with fear. Finally I actually, for real, 100% woke up this time! I was surprised when i realized it was all just a dream.

I had written this just after my experience so there was a bit of caps spam and a lot of unnecessary excitation that made it incomprehensible. (My writing is poor so I hope it's even understandable now. I'll finish English class one day..:P)
