That sounds a little like some of what Eckhart Tolle has written about, as far as his everyday surroundings looking different following his psychic break when he was suddenly spiritually transformed. When I was watching his videos, one of the first things that struck me between the eyes was his instruction on one way to connect with your infinite self - beginning with "Imagine you don't have a name."

The loss of "identity" has always been a big confusing fear for me. The idea that I am not who I am, or that I will "lose" who I am (or who I think I am) after death. Will I become someone else, and if so, will I retain any of what I've learned in this life, even if not on a conscious level?

This is a little off-topic, but in terms of sort of leaving your body - I had a really weird trip in the hospital about 6 weeks ago when I was admitted in emergency for a perforated appendix. Nothing much but grogginess and sleep on the heavy IV painkillers, but 2 Darvocet after a few days of very little food (while listening to Bill Harris' Holosync technology meditation CD) created a very bizarre movie that I watched on the back of my eyelids for about 5 hours, and some of the darker imagery popped up the next day while trying to do some guided breathing exercises, even though the drug was out of my system by then. My husband has a fair amount of personal past experience with hallucinogens and has done plenty of reading on the subject. A lot of what I saw (not all) was downright demonic, very vivid, and I was pretty disturbed later about the concept that my own mind had created this, but perhaps that's not how it happens, and some of those doors of perception were just unlocked. He did say that it's more typical for people to have darker, demonic hallucinations on synthetic drugs, whereas natural things like Peyote or mushrooms or whatever tend to produce more angelic experiences. I have virtually no experience with any of those things, so I'm curious about the archetypal image aspect of this - why that would be fairly universal if it's true, and yet again how the tunnel or NDE experience can be different depending on a person's religious beliefs.

Incidentally, the second half of that "movie" involved a lot of rapid flying, out a window with kind, smiling people seated around the room pointing me in the direction to go, over a moonlit beautiful landscape, and then on my back with arms and legs dangling, shooting straight up very fast into the sky and out into the cosmos. It would stop when I opened my eyes, and resume when they were closed.

The only other time I had an out of body experience was when I was getting a 4 hands biodynamic craniosacral treatment from 2 women at the same time, I felt myself drop through the table and it was only a split second, but in that moment I felt like the truth of the universe had been revealed to me, I felt something like "OH! That's what it's about, it's so simple..." , a feeling of profound peace, and then of course I was back and can't remember what I was shown or realized.
