Nirvana

I had a dream early this morning.
Not a nightmare.
Oh no.
It was like nothing I have ever experienced before. I dreamed that I was in my bed, which I was, but that I was at one with an infinite number of other beings in other universes, each part of me as I was part of them.
Connected.
A glorious part of a glorious whole. And I felt whole myself.
Those of you who have passed this way before will know that I am not usually given to this sort of thing.

As the feeling faded, I realised that it reminded me of something. It has taken me until now to remember what it was. Jill Bolte Taylor's incredible description of having a stroke in her left brain hemisphere and being left alone with her right brain. I think I would like to spend a bit more time with my right brain too. But maybe not in the same circumstances.
Here she is telling us about her experience. I find it very moving.
