Yea ๐
I think someone broke something when I was a kid and I got too good at it.
Wasn't until like five years ago a very good doctor casually started asking me about my preference for video games. I said FPS games were super hard and confusing because the perspective was so claustrophobic, I preferred RPGs because it was a normal perspective.
He was just like ๐คโ๏ธ "third person perspective is "normal" for you?" I've since gotten better at being embodied but life is weird ๐คฃ

Wait... so you are practicng still?
Yes, I've recommitted myself to practicing after a long time spent trying to avoid it and failing ๐
But whereas most "normal" people have to try to go into theta state to experience this; the theory my doctor developed was that I was operating in theta state more often than not. So now I do a lot of meditation work with the alpha-stim to come out of theta; a lot of grounding and somatic work. It's improved my situation remarkably.
I still will do the theta / OOBE type explorations, but now it's more on an understanding that this is a trip I'm taking to return from. It's not that I'm letting reality feel like a dream semi-permanently.
