I had an interesting thing happen today. While waiting on another family member, I stayed in my minivan in the parking lot. It was very quiet there. I reclined the seat back, stretched out, and relaxed with the hood of my soft coat around my head. Then I concentrated on a particular scenario. I gradually fell into a half sleep and began experiencing the scenario as if it were real. I don't feel like I was in the typical sleep, for this seemed different. I believe I self hypnotized myself to experience the scenario.
What made this work was the absence of sound in the environment, the soft hood around my head that kept the brightness out of my eyes, and the solar heat filtering through my windows that created a soothing warmth on this cold day. My thoughts melted into the hypnotic state and became a temporary reality.
I would like to create some kind of enclosure where I could experience this in my home. The biggest obstacle is allowing myself to escape the worries of life and submerge into a scenario of my choice. I just wanted to share this with others because afterward, I felt much refreshed and recharged.
