Every now and then I experience a dream that feels so real my body repels at its climax and kicks me back to this dimension. Coming out of the dream though, I’m able to stay in a sort of euphoric limbo for a short period of time. Not only do I vividly replay what feels like my life’s highlight reel, but I also get the sense that I’m consciously shaping and guiding footage as I observe it playing out in high fidelity.
The surest way I’ve found to induce this phenomenon is by eating ice cream 30 mins or so prior to falling asleep. A closer look into this hypnopompic state may very well be a promising angle to tackle the hard problem of consciousness. Just a reminder that this reality is amazing and there is so much to explore
