      Can someone tell me what this is?

      I'm not sure if its something paranormal or something scientifically verified.

      Lately I've been doing something. It's a bit hard to explain. It's sort of like meditation but not. What I do is close my eyes for a few seconds, tilt my head back a little and try to invoke/bring up a feeling I frequently feel when I'm sleeping.

      I'm assuming it's serotonin because a deep peace and pleasurable feeling washes over me. My thoughts also get a little cloudy. It feels so strong I swear it's almost spiritual.

      It might have something to do with being sleep deprived. I dunno.

      Just meditation. If you're sleep deprived a lot, it could just be relaxation. Or your brain goin that fucking god i'm finally gonna get to sleep. But yeah I have done this twice while meditating and I think it's serotonin. The first time I did it it got so strong that I had to stop meditating and just collapsed on the floor, breathing heavily with pleasure.

      "There's nothing better than knowing what it's like to fly like superman. Being fully aware of the air whipping by you, controlling every movement of every single atom in your body with a single thought. It's real freedom, and there's not a word good enough to describe it, so I'll just call it dreamy for now."

      It doesn't seem very similar. I'm very familar with adrenaline or rather I can imagine this rush of energy that's described. They feel like polar opposites to be honest.

      Also the feeling I experience is more localised in the head rather than throughout the body.

      So it feels like you took a tab of ecstasy? I know that dumps your serotonin all at once..
      This was that cult, and the prisoners said it had always existed and always would exist, hidden in distant wastes and dark places all over the world until the time when the great priest Cthulhu, from his dark house in the mighty city of R'lyeh under the waters, should rise and bring the earth again beneath his sway.

      Ecstasy is a stimulant. To me it sounds more like having an orgasm lol.

      But that feeling the original poster described is similar to what someone on Ecstasy would say, and ecstasy affects serotonin.

      It's just such a random overexaggerated comparison to make, I cannot comprehend why your mind would even go there. From what the OP described it sounds nothing like taking ecstasy to me. Yes ecstasy causes the brain to release serotonin...but so do a million other things...like orgasms, exercise, hunger, and sleep for starters. I guess there just seem to be a lot more reasonable comparisons to what is being described here than taking a roll.

      Lol yes actually. I haven't taken MDMA but from what I have read, it feels the same. Probably less intense though. Basically a mental orgasm and happiness/euphoria. Not sure if it's the same thing as the OP had however, that's just what I thought he was talking about.
