Hmm.... I'm not sure but this does sound familiar. At first, I was thinking that you had Alien Hand Syndrome but I don't think that's it. I think it's either a form of Depersonalization or like Ang said, a remnant of a previous life. I've had some curious experiences with what I think was a form of Depersonalization. I have never felt the "body parts" you have felt but I felt like, how to put this, almost as if I was "brushing" against something that was both solid and not there. The feeling reminds me of a part in The Golden Compass (His Dark Materials Trilogy) when Lyra and the Gyptians are in the North and on there way to Bolvangär to save the kidnap children. The Witch's daemon, I can't remember his name, is on the boat and his is talking about how in the aurora the boundaries between this world and others are very thin. To demonstrate what he means the Goose outstretches his wings and states that he has just touched over a 1 million different galaxies. What if what we are feeling is something like that? I know it sounds like I've wandered deeply into the realms of Science Fiction but anything possible. Other feelings I've gotten with this is the sensation like I'm floating. Like I'm neither alive nor dead and I'm just floating between these two concepts. Time becomes slowed down and my surroundings and anything else that I should be acquainted with suddenly feels foreign.
Oooh, I so love that you referenced His Dark Materials, I absolutely love that series. The funny thing about it is as crazy as a lot of that stuff sounds it's got some basis in science... I snagged this awesome companion to the trilougy at one of those discount warehouse stores that goes into the physics behind the sci fi.. fascinating stuff.
The floating sensation... is it like you just become unaware of your body? I've experienced something similar, I wouldn't always call it a floating... but it's like, first I feel myself kind of recede out of my limbs.... If I sit perfectly still and don't break the meditative state eventually it will feel like my whole body is cased in stone, if I keep it up long enough I just kind of don't feel my self anymore. I've read about people feeling similar right before astral projection. I *think* I've projected before, at least there have been times meditating where I feel a sensation of flying out of myself... last time it happened it felt like I was just shot out of a cannon and I got nervous and sat up.
Outside of all the trippy mindfuck stuff though, depersonalization would still make sense too. ^^; That's what one of my skype friends suggested.
I'm surprised this is still getting comments, this is the first story I ever posted here. X3
Is it normal to feel ghost limbs of a body that isn't human?
