hello and a question

hi there, I found my way here because I was looking for somewhere to ask this question. Hello to you all btw :)

About 2 months ago I went through about a week or two weeks of dreams that felt like I was going through a period of intense learning. Each night as I went to sleep I felt almost as though I was going to school. I was aware that someone, something was waiting for me to fall asleep to get on with my education. I don't like to sleep on my back because I believe I tend to have bad dreams like this but each morning during this time I awoke in the morning flat on my back, arms and legs stretched out, palms up as though completely open to whatever happened to me. I don't remember the dreams that I had at this time. I just remember feeling as though I'd had an intense learning experience and something had happened which was meant to help me to undertake some rapid development. The experience of these dreams was unlike any other I've had before or since. The experience of falling asleep was different too. Instead of drifting off, I felt that I went somewhere.

I can't think of anything I did different to bring on this unconscious state. My diet, stress levels etc were no different then to now and I wasn't on any medication.

Anyone had a similar experience, or even better, can any one offer an explanation. I feel as though the thing that happened was intended for my unconscious mind but my conscious mind is curious to find out what it was about.

thanks
