This is something I've recently begun considering, as it has been on mind a lot.

There are times when I'm at school, especially when I'm alone, which is a lot, admittedly. But that does not make my mood, as in, I can be happy, mad, sad, and all of the above.

I'll be sitting there, usually staring either at a wall or a window, and I lose sight of what's around me. Call it what you want, like day dreaming, is how it feels. Or sometimes how I feel in meditation where I'm not entirely "connected" to my body or even when I'm astral projecting.

I begin to start imagining myself jumping out of the body and running, then leaping and flying off. But the whole time, I'm seeing myself do this. I can see my surroundings very clear. Not down to minuscule details, not yet, at least.

I will circle around, then go places and I can see details of the moving cars, buildings. I thought it might just be my mind's eye conjuring up mental images of what I know, so I did it while walking to class and in the mind's eye I suddenly caught a very abnormal, bright color. I shrugged it off as imaginative and I turned the corner and someone was wearing that. I tried it again and once more my results were accurate. I did it repeatedly to test it, only once did I guess wrong. The colors were just easy ones. They were detailed.

I had to stop, and for the reason, because my third eye (mind's) began to hurt. Usually only a pain like this on very focused meditation, yet I was not overly focused and the farther I went from my body in my mind's eye the worst of pain. Like stretching a rubber band a little too far, and after doing it for a while I couldn't "go" even two metres without that same pain, so stopped and it took a couple hours for the full feeling to leave me. I believe if I practice this more, I should be able to see things farther as in actual details that match up at long distances and even the pain will start to subside from practicing it.

So, anyone know of this or had it themselves? It just puzzles me a bit. Also the pain is not exactly pain, if you know what I mean? It's not something that feels so unbearable or too dangerous to continue with.
