There was an episode of Star Trek where a character had an experience like this. It was fascinating. I'm not sure I understand the exact definition of a transcendental experience, but I'm going to share a few experiences I've had. The first one is dreaming. I feel like almost everyone experiences some degree of transcendental experience when they are dreaming. Sometimes my dreams have clear connections to my waking life, and other times they seem completely random. I don't remember ever feeling pain in a dream, but my dreams are very vivid. Just as real to me as if I was awake. Most of my dreams are positive, and often they are in a combination of third and first person perspectives. I am in my body, but at the same time floating above it and watching myself doing things. I've never experienced anything like it while awake. Often things in dreams only make sense in the dream, then they don't make sense when you wake up and remember your waking life and compare them. I had a dream one time that I could control the rain. I was standing outside some version of my house, and I remembered, oh yeah, I can control the rain. Then I did it, completely naturally, as if I'd done it a hundred times before. It stood hovering in the air, I made it go back up a little bit, I admired how beautiful it was, then I let it fall again. I find rain, snow, and night time beautiful. Some people say they are depressing, but I think they are wonderful. There was this one time about a month ago where I went to a store late at night. As I was walking through the parking lot with the cool air, fewer people, and dimmer light, I paused and turned my head up towards the sky, enjoying the moment of peace in a place that usually felt so overwhelming. This also happened during fall during the day in the parking lot of a different store. There was a person playing music in the background, the sky was overcast, and the wind swept the orange leaves off the trees and they fell all around me. It took me out of my worries for a moment and reminded me how beautiful life can be. Going to the top of a mountain on a hike is also similar. There was a time I was reading a really good book for the first time and I was so engrossed in it that my teacher had to call my name seven times before I looked up. There was one time when I had just woken up from being asleep, and for just a second in that in-between state, I had no memories and no identity. I sensed my nana's death when I was in elementary school, I have seen a ghost once and sensed spirits near me a couple of times. You know the feeling where you know someone is looking at you even though you aren't looking at them? It's like that. And that kind of experience makes me remember how everyone and everything's energy is connected. I often learn life lessons and feel very connected to fictional characters and their worlds. And some music... wow! It's like some kind of magic for our brains, it can make me feel anything. I really like Celtic music and Instrumental Lofi, and some 80's music and Christmas music, and some ones from when I was younger. Oh and also I had de ja vu one time when I went to India and was watching a blazing red sunset over the ocean on the beach, as my family spread my nana's ashes. I love spending time alone. I have some really good music to recommend that I discovered recently. It's Avatar The Last Airbender inspired Instrumental Lofi, and I swear it feels like real magic, it's incredible! It's by Simon Gross and also on Spotify. Here's one of the videos, there are 4 volumes/videos with multiple songs in each. Each volume is roughly an hour long. The link is for either volume 1 or 2. https://youtu.be/D-ya6U-pbWo Here's the title of one of the videos: "Avatar: The Last Airbender🌊 ~ 1 HOUR OF LOFI CHILLOUT MUSIC" Hope you like it!
