Maria – Yes, I have had the experience many times. It is an extension of the dream process, and it can carry on while awake. People cannot usually see the link because their education is so hidebound, and we are taught that if you hear voices and see things then you are going mad. That is nonsense. It was seen from a study that, “"In fact, many of those affected describe their visions as being a positive influence in their lives, comforting or inspiring them as they go about their daily business."
In fact it is only in the Western culture that we shut the door against such visions as they are called. In other cultures it is seen as a wonderful gift. But it is important to realise that as in dreams we see things that are apparently outside, and the same is happening to you. It is all the dream process, creating an external virtual world.
