Experience description:

I had been meditating for about 30-45 minutes, only with the intention to relax, and I was also listening to some music. I eventually got into a hypnogogic state, where I felt like I was falling asleep, yet I was actually completely conscious. After being in this state for what I imagine was about 10 minutes, I began to get a familiar feeling, it felt as though my bed was being shaken slowly, and then more rapidly as time went on. I felt a sensation of numbness and warmness fall over my body, and eventually I achieved a state in which my body was completely numb, and began feeling weightless, meanwhile my heart was pounding so hard, I could clearly feel and hear my own heartbeat. Soon, I felt as if someone was pulling me towards the ceiling, like I was weightless and just floating like a balloon towards the roof, it was calming and I didn't realize what was going on so I just kept meditating.

Soon enough, I just felt like I was levitating, like I had no weight, and I began to see this plane in front of me, it looked a lot like a computer chip, or the motherboard of a computer, it was vast, in every direction I looked it spanned the entirety of my vision. Eventually, it began to collapse in on itself. This knowledge came to me, that all time and space a relative, and in fact can be collapsed right in front of my eyes. After this experience, I was back in a state of void, where I could see nothing. Then, a velvet/burgundy sheet-like plane could be seen to my side, and it began to make sine wave like patterns.  Once again it was vast and everywhere I looked I saw it. The sheet-like plane was within my own body, and was giving me a sensation of warmness, and complete bliss. In that moment I realized what true bliss felt like, and how truly connected I was with the universe. After awhile in this state of bliss, I could start to faintly hear my heart beat, as if it was calling me back to my body, so I began to feel a sensation of floating down, back into this reality, and eventually into my body. I could literally feel myself reentering my body, I felt like a feather falling from the sky.
