Good day shamanic people.
So I have this thing that keeps happening during my meditations (it became more of dreaming now than a meditation), where my body will go complete sleep mode with my hands becoming heavy as a stone, being unable to keep my head straight as my neck will also get sleepy, all that regular sleeping stuff. After my body shuts down, I will enter some sort of dream state where I will be very aware of my body being shut down, and keeping myself on conscious level. In this dream state I experience dreams that feels very different from my regular dreams. For example I will see through others eyes, it feels like I am in different body, cant take any action in that moment, but seeing things they see. Those dreams aren't very long, usually they are short like glimpses and some are blurry and others are pretty dark, like watching something in night time.
So I was wondering what this thing is. I read somewhere that this thing is similar to astral projection. I wouldn't call it lucid dreaming cause it feels very different from that.
I would appreciate if someone could explain this thing, or maybe someone have similar experience and have some thoughts on it.
Thank you and may the spirits be with you.
