hey friends,

i've just begun meditating about 4 weeks ago, and haven't been diligent about doing it every day last week. i have some cd's i ordered that have background sounds that are supposed to help you relax and meditate easier and they seem to be helping.

anyway, i've recently had a wierd experience that is probably trivial to everyone here but i thought i would share in case anyone had some insight or comments.

i couldn't really tell if i had fallen asleep while meditating (i do that about half the time) or had just gone "deeper". but i had this experience where my wife and i were in my grandmother's living room. i could feel this gentle pull upward and i could do something like "letting go" with my mind and i would become weightless and wanted to show my wife. if i tried to let go really hard i could launch lightly toward the ceiling and stay there, almost as if there was a really light gravity going up instead of down. i could also barely push off the ground and float long distances 5-10 feet. it felt really kewl. i was trying to get the attention of my wife but somehow she didn't notice. at the end i jump-floated over to her on the couch and was going to kiss her and do a "frisky" feel but we looked at each other and said "nah, too wierd" because she was somehow inhabiting another body.

trippy hugh? do you think this was just some normal dream that i remembered more clearly? or something to do with the meditation. i remember strongly feeling after fully "awake" that it was such a kewl thing and i would like to do it again. but, at the same time it was wierd and i've felt some hesitance to meditate since then and get back into it.

also, a question. do you think i would "regress" if i miss a day or two meditating? what i mean is that i assume i'm "progressing" when these wild and/or neat experiences happen and i assume they will happen more and more through daily meditation. if i miss 3 days, would it take some time to "build back up" to a point where i am? just curious of your thoughts on this.

have fun!
