Right - It's long I know but I think it's interesting:

A few weeks ago I started meditating. I say meditaiting, it's not as If i read up on it or anything I just decided to sit in my room with my music on and see if I could get to the stage were I could block out the music and still be awake (I got the idea from the day before when I was sat in one of the weekly Quaker silent meetings we have at my college and I swore I had been able to make myself block out what little noise was being made by the slight movements of the other people there). I guess I was using a sort of self hypnosis technique.
It took a while (like 1.5 hours) but eventually I got to the stage where I could open my eyes and see my computer screen from my bed - still playing the visualisation for the music - but I couldn't hear it because I was concentrating on the quietness of my thoughts.
Anyway this wore off after a while but it worked so I decided to try it again the next day.

I've been "meditating" for quite a while now (~7 weeks) and I've tried all sorts of things which I would try when I'm asleep. Stuff like flying and setting on fire is obviously impossible but I can trick myself into feeling weightless or feeling very hot. The stuff which works the best though is the teleportation and time distortion stuff. A couple of days ago I wanted to see if I could "teleport" so I tried hypnotising myself into doing it. Again it is obvious that I was unable to ACTUALLY travel through space and time to my final destination, but I thought it would be possible to recreate that feeling from in my dreams.
This meant that I basically hypnotised myself into the appropriate state, all the while thinking about my final destination and how there should be a seemless transition between there and my current position in the room if I was successful. The big idea being that I could trick myself into getting up, walking to the destination and then forgetting that that was what I had done.

I'd like to say it worked, and in a way it did. But instead of opening my eyes and seeing that I was where I had wanted to be, I found that I was actually in a different place altogether and it seemed that during my hypnotic state I had "teleported" myself from my bean bag and onto my bed. It was very disorientating. I think that I must have ended up forgetting my objective but remembering that I did not want to remember performing it...if that makes sense...meaning that I just ended up going to bed.

I'm still trying to "teleport" and I wondered if anyone who has had a similar experience during meditation has thought about trying it or if they could give me some advice. I know it's possible to do it to other people through hypnosis but is self hypnosis a step too far?

Thanks for reading, I know it was long winded.
