Its good!
You are coming to terms with the fact that humans do not see very much of reality at all, just little bits of it as our senses wil allow and our brains and minds will comprehend.

What you are experiencing, esp in the semi-dream state, is likely "the real world", so don't shove it away, embrace it and try to learn to focus into it more.
Fear of it would not help, so have faith in your "view". Its a good view, a vantage point, a GIFT.

Go for it ,

to me... what you are experiencing is of a spiritual nature... but i suppose a doctor would prescribe some sort of medication for it if i told him how wonderful i feel all the time... the truth is i don't believe in doctors anymore... but... in any event... if i'm a mental case then so be it... just leave me alone and let me enjoy it...

this kinda reminds me of something that happened when i was in the san fransisco bay are... in traffic... making a right turn... there were pedestrians in the cross walk... they were what we might call mentally handicapped... there was about eight or nine of them... but one very nice looking young lady standing on the corner patting her foot impatiently as she waited for them to get across... what really struck me was the little guy that was bringing up the rear... he looked like the engergizer bunny... his feet were moving ninety miles an hour but he was only moving forward at a snails pace... but as i looked at his face he was grinning from ear to ear... he was totally oblivious to his surroundings... i doubt he even knew i existed... but the point was he was obviously extremely happy... and suddenly... i don't why... but my heart was overwhelmed with love... and i caught myself thinking... "and we normies have the nerve to call him mentally handicapped"... i wanted what he had... he was definitely happy...

that was one of the most awesome experiences of my life... one i'll always remember... so if i'm crazy it's a good thing... just leave me alone and let me make it across the street by myself...
lol...

Hi there 13735!

Being astrologically-minded what you are experiencing seems to be 'Neptuanian'....Neptune (and Pisces) rules Spirituality, the 'other' non-material world, dreams, poetry, music, mysticism...all those things that are not material and totally pin-down-able.

Now, you may be experiencing a 'Neptune transit' right now...or your natal chart may be very Neptunian to begin with and you're coming into it now.

The above Neptunian traits are the positive manifestations of Neptune energy....just be aware that you don't go into that unreal world toooo much (balance is the key!) because Neptune can also represent foggy-thinking/seeing, delusion, disonnectedness, feeling 'seperated' from Life and others...

It sounds to me like perhaps you are connecting with your Higher Self (and all those Neptunian spiritual things)....which is great - just make sure that you pay attention to your material/physical world as well...

Here are some wise words from a
Tibetan mystic named Chagdud Tulku
Rinpoche, from the book, LIFE IN
RELATION TO DEATH:

"Always recognize the dreamlike
qualities of life, and reduce attachment and aversion. Practice
good-heartedness towards all beings.
Be loving and compassionate, no
matter what others do to you. What
they will do, will not matter so
much when you see it as a dream.
The trick is to have positive
intention during the dream. This is
the essential point. This is true
spirituality."

The more you spiritually ripen, my
friend, the more life around you is
going to seem like a dream. Most
people spend their entire lives
caught up in the coils of attachment
and aversion. They seem to be living
in a parallel universe, and, in a
very real sense, they are. So you
may, at times feel isolated and lonely.

It sounds like your spiritual ripening has accelerated in recent
months. Yes, you are awakening your
creative energies, that were put in
a vault when you took Prozac in
college. That's wonderful news!
The months and years ahead are going
to be rich and exciting and satisfying times for you. Creative
projects will begin to gestate. And
as they do, the lonely moments will
fade and disappear. Why? Because
you'll be living in what Joseph
Campbell called "The Field of Your
Bliss," the true life that God,
the Universal Soul, intended you
to live; the life that was derailed
by Prozac and bad decisions. And
because you'll be in the Field of
your Bliss, Doors will open for you;
opened by new people you may not
have even met yet, who also share
the field of your bliss.

So be confident and upbeat! Listen
to your deep intuition, your Inner
Spirit. It will never deceive you;
never lead your astray. Tell yourself -- and mean it -- that the
best is yet to be. Because it is.

And be gentle to all those lost
souls who are wandering in the
dreamworld that you're rapidly emerging from. When the time is
right, you'll find the right way
to help any number of them. The
living example of your gentle,
spiritually ripening self, will do
more for them than any words.

Enjoy your new path. Savor every
moment!

Blessings,

Hi, I practice a form of energywork based on grounding... Grounding helps to anchor one's energy more firmly in the body. An important part of grounding is just learning to do the basics of taking care of oneself -- American culture at least tends to teach people to go so fast they often don't take care of themselves. If I want to work on my grounding, I do little things that help me feel more like being here in my own life. Like if my desk is messy & it stresses me, I'll organize it. Or wash the dishes, put on warm socks (it's cold here today!), wash my bedsheets, pick up the things I've thrown around, so on. Helps me feel less floaty. Doing the things that make one feel safe & cared for.
I know a lot of how people see being spiritual is, that the dreaming is good -- I'm not disagreeing with that, just saying that it's nice to have a choice to ground, too. So I'm not dreaming while I'm driving, or dreaming when I feel uncomfortable with it and would rather be solid. Balance it all out. Sometimes surreal is interesting, but sometimes it's uncomfortable.
Being grounded when I want to is a whole different kind of spiritual for me.
Anyway, when I was studying grounding, everyone in class felt just like you sound. It's not a mental illness, not at all. It comes from having a lot of energy (even if you don't feel energetic) -- the more energy you have, the harder it is to ground it, the further you can float if you aren't anchored. Having a lot of energy doesn't necessarily mean you're physically energetic, I sure wasn't, it's more like being intense, feeling things vividly, or feeling like you see things in more dimensions than the people around you.
And connecting to people is harder to do when you're floating, because connections happen through physical bodies, and if you're floating you're not very present in your body. (You know, like when you're driving along & realize you haven't seen the road for the last 5 blocks, or when you're at work and realize you must be thirsty because you haven't remembered to drink anything all day.)
Anyway, I'm just passing through and I thought I'd comment. If you think you want to work on grounding all you have to do is hold that intention, of developing more grounding, and leave yourself open to find things that will help. If you decide to look for a teacher, look for one you feel safe with. Take care!
