Default Meditation curiosity

Alright, well I have been meditating lately. I have not done it many times. I have had three very different remember able meditation experiences, and one remember able dream which took place this morning.
The first memorable experience I was stressed out. I was meditating to try and calm down. Never in my life have I been able to picture images in my head, but for the first time I did after meditating. I entered this blackness... completely black. While I was there I was able to see things. Both people and places. An image would look like a small tv screen and get bigger if I focused on it. Also, I saw a few symbols. A triangle, and it seemed like it was negative. Also, I saw this sphere within a circle. It seemed to be the circle of life to me. I tried to enter it, but I couldn't. I did some research the next day on the symbols and it lead me to Buddhism.
The next experience was really weird to me. It was a month ago exactly. While I was meditating I was mainly just looking for some truths about life I guess you can say. Basically, I ended up seeing a Japanese symbol, got spoken to in a foreign language, and saw a person with a very distinct look who I had never seen before. The person appeared to me behind the bars of a jail cell staring me in the eyes. I could not figure it out, and eventually I got taken to a beautiful mountain top with who I recognized as Buddha. He was holding my hand, and told me it was alright. Next, I was inside a cave like place in the side of an mountain. The man was there, and now I recognized him as my sensei. Well, basically I wrote down everything I remembered. I tried deciphering it, and I was eventually able to come up with a person, and this person was Li Ching Xuen. Yeah . . . it led me to the secret of longevity. I was even able to decipher what I heard into a paragraph about his life in Chinese (very wrong Chinese I bet, but it made sense in English). I even used numbers while deciphering the message. All this really tripped me out, and I stopped meditating for a few weeks.
Well, stress started building up again this past week so I decided to meditate. This experience I don't have much to say about. It was the best feeling. I meditated to love of God, and eventually I ended up feeling like I was sitting on a cloud in a white sky. It brought me to tears.
Lastly, this morning I had the weirdest dream of my life! It was weird in many ways. The dream seemed to last forever. It was the longest dream of my life. I literally felt like I was in there for hours of, I guess you can say, awake time? In part of this dream I was in India. I don't really feel like saying what I was doing, but at a point in my dream a lady walks up to me. I was in India surrounded by elephants. She asked me what I was doing, and I told her I didn't know. I don't remember her exact words because I was really confused, but it had to do with something being over. I was dirty, so I took off my jacket. I looked at the sleeve and it said 1949. It was a Civil War looking US army coat. It was weird Ghandi stuck out to me as soon as I woke up, but that might be because I associated Ghandi with India. Anyway, I entered 1949 India and if you are familiar with that year in India you will know what I found. It led me to start researching Ghandi.
The events

15 November - Nathuram Godse and Narayan Apte executed for assassinating Mahatma Gandhi.
26 November - New constitution is adopted by the Indian Constituent Assembly.
28 December - Central Reserve Police Force Act enacted.


Basically, I have done a lot of research on meditation and spirituality, but these very different experiences have me confused. Honestly, these experiences have been so confusing to me that I sometimes question my sanity. Sometimes, I feel like it might be the devil talking to me (all but the third experience I had) due to my brief believing in the Bible. Although, most of the time I feel like God is talking to me, and I am extremely lucky and special to be able to access the levels of consciousness I have. Any thoughts on this at all are extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance! Peace and love <3
