Epiphany while half asleep?

[Romer02]

        Hey, guys just wanted to let you guys know of a mystical experience I had today when I woke up early. I decided to watch one of Leo's videos  which is about what is perception? I was listening very closely to this video and very interested in what he had to say, with the quarantine my sleep schedule has been very wonky. During this video, Leo was talking about how there is no perception, for some reason I began falling asleep while sleeping I seemed to be half-conscious and I began to understand everything Leo was talking about in the video at a very deep level. This was a feeling I've had before on psychedelics which made me feel like I knew everything. I began to cry because I began to fully grasp what he was saying exactly. I even had an extremely strong ego reaction that seemed to be very upset and depressed about what I have just witnessed. Then when I woke up I watched the video again without falling asleep and I was not able to fully grasp it but I was still somewhat able to understand it, because of the experience I had while sleeping which correlated with what Leo was speaking of. 

If you have come this far I appreciate you for reading and some feedback about this experience would be greatly accepted!

Yes, I've had many realizations while half-asleep or fully asleep. It's actually easier than being awake because the ego-mind is disabled during sleep.

@Leo Gura That's really cool, didn't consider that. Explains why I can count the major insights and epiphanies I've had wide awake on one hand while I've done dozens lucid dreaming or half awake barely sleeping.

There is a certain irony in being the most clear about life while everything is so blurry. Almost like reality is kind of playing a sick joke on itself, hah! Must be another instance of the counter-intuitive nature of life

You will typically have some of your greatest insights right as you wake up, sleeping, or while half asleep.  You can also figure out a lot of shit in these states.
