: I know that I may as well hold up a sign that says "Park your boatload of $hit here!" but I'll go out on this tiny fragile limb and mention that some people say that what you describe is symptomatic of astral projection. What you're experiencing is more than just the random firing of brain cells but rather your emergence into another plane of existence.

Actually what Mr J. is describing is Lucid dreaming, when you are in a dream, asleep, but aware that you are dreaming. You can actually learn to develop this and have control over your lucid dreams.
