http://www.ted.com Neuroanatomist Jill Bolte Taylor had an opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: One morning, she realized she was having a massive stroke. As it happened — as she felt her brain functions slip away one by one, speech, movement, understanding — she studied and remembered every moment. This is a powerful story about how our brains define us and connect us to the world and to one another.

As a child I used to dream quite lucid with many beings of light surrounding me. Recalling now that sometimes I awoke refreshed and energetic while on some occasions my dream turned chaotic and I awoke sweating and scared. The chaotic dream would start like the others peaceful, immeasurable and conected to everything much like what Jill described as her nirvana state. The change as I recall it was this very heavy pressure that seemed to close about me as light seemed to fade and a period of darkness seemed to morph into different colors of which did not seem as something I was viewing with my eyes but more like something that was surrounding me and I was part of it. A new feeling of things changing or moving very fast much like the turns and slopes on a roller coaster had a hold of me and was accelerating at an astronomical rate yet this is not what frightened me. When everything turned very very red and it was hot and noisy then I was afraid.
The memory of this does not bother me now but as a child it did.
