Around the age of 10 I started to have a lucid 'dream' where I had the subjective sensation of the my head expanding and expanding until all that was left was a tiny dot of bright light about to disapear in a boundless ocean of shimmering light/darkness. Then I would wake up terrified and shaking and calling for mom... maybe times a week for a couple of years. Years later while sitting and listening to sama veda floating on that ocean the memories all came rolling back .
