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?
