Interesting! Something like this happened to me just yesterday, while meditating.
I'm going through kind of a rough patch right now, and decided to do an equanimity meditation to help it along.
Eventually, I figured I should try some visualization work, where I picture the bad/painful energy being released, and going through some kind of purification symbol, to be turned into something pure and re-usable for constructive means. I picked a phoenix, just because it's a meaningful symbol to me.
I started visualizing a phoenix, and for a split second, I heard a voice in my head saying, "Here, let me place that for you." Then, two hands came into my peripheral vision (closed eyes), grabbed the phoenix, and adjusted its position slightly.
Then, the visualization went away, and I just felt a weird tingling all over my body. My eyes were also rolling way up, and as I relaxed them, the tingling also went away eventually, and things went back to how they were.
Sometimes, when I meditate while tired, I start to drift to sleep a little bit (and catch myself tilting over), but that didn't happen this time. I was wide awake during the whole thing.
I wonder if it's just the standard thing you go through when your brainwave frequencies change into the Alpha or Theta levels.
I think it might have been something like the beginnings of a WILD, where you relax your body and keep it still until you trick it into thinking you're asleep. It would have been really hilarious to get sleep paralysis while sitting upright lol. But it was late enough in the evening that such a quick transition into SP and REM is unlikely. That's something I'd expect in the early hours of the morning.
