I actually tried doing a deep dive into self (some form of meditation/focus), and I dunno. I saw something that freaked me out. It didn't see me. But I tried getting out, and couldn't for some time.
Someone woke me up, apparently they thought I was sleeping when I was really trying to focus intently on self.
A few nights later I began having dreams that were very intense, and very horrifying. At least to me they were. I never tried to do it again.
Some time later (2 yrs) I would try to write questions on a blank canvas and meditate. Once I started writing shyt I wouldn't even think about, I stopped.
After that bout, I had another dream. The dream ended with someone saying "you aren't ready" and throwing me out of the dream. It was all weird.
The dreams eventually stopped. But now I am beginning to see things out the corner of my eye. For instance, I was cooking a few days ago and I thought I saw a huge man in my peripheral just standing there. It was just the wall when I quickly turned to focus on it. I felt another prescence like I would if an actual person was there, but it was nothing.
I don't know because I am not well versed in this type of stuff.
