Hollographic Visualization

[impaul99]

I haven't been able to reproduce the Holographic visualization I experienced a few months ago, but the experience has left a trace of something else for me.

Since it happened I've been able to lie down and close my eyes on the couch and with my eyes closed and still conscious I kind of keep my eyes closed by I try to "see" through my eyelids, almost visualizing them disappearing so that I can "see". I've gotten to the point where I can relax and actually feel as if my eyelids are not there anymore. Meaning I no longer feel them on my eyeballs. I still see darkness and haven't been able to see images yet, but I feel like I'm really close. It's almost like I'm starting to feel images, just not see them yet.

For example if I try to see buildings made out of bricks like they have in Europe, I can feel them with my eyes closed, just not see them yet but it's very close.

Just wondering if anyone else has played around with visualizing with your eyes closed while being fully awake. It's similar to lucid dreaming, except it's not about waking up in your dream, it's about dreaming in your waking state.

Maybe this is what meditation is all about, and everyone already does this, and I'm the last person to discover it? It seems so cool to be able to do this.
