New reality....sort of scared

I was having a smoke and then something happened to me I can't really explain. I suddenly realized what reality is (our experience) and how contained it is. I started crying and felt like I was seeing everything for the first time and began to think maybe I was having some kind of break down. That happened yesterday and today I still feel the same but not as intense as it was the first few minutes....it was like I had died or something...has this happened to anyone else?

    I totally know what you mean, the state of mind where thing are sometimes much to bizarre to explain, let alone explain to yourself. What where you smoking?

    This happened to me soberly at work one day when I was just shooting the shit with a buddy. The radio was on and led zeps stairway to heaven came on. I understood every lyric and was convinced it had the answer to life and I figured it all out. Weirdest day ever. Now I forget what was so life affirming about that moment but, It was strange.

    It's called an epiphany. They can sometimes be unpleasent, like yours.

    It might have been ego death, you should read into it. Ego death is when you lose the sense of yourself, that feeling of I, me, myself. You might feel one with everything, things feel purer or more real. I've had it happen when I'm sober and when I've taken psychedelics. It's something that many psychonauts, shamans, and others of the sort try to reach.

    This happened to me once but I was completely sober at the time but I think it was the result of a panic attack that released chemicals into my body and gave me a different perspective that seemed much clearer and "real". I still get it sometimes and it feels like I've stepped out of what we consider reality into a mind frame that actually understands what is real. It sounds like I'mm talking a load of c**p but that's how it feels it's sort of scary but exciting at the same time.
