I also know someone who insists this is kundalini. I do not know enough about kundalini to make judgment on it one way or another, but I guess it's worth doing the research.

Perhaps giants are a common enough archetype. But what if I did not leave the archetypal realm of human history? I would like to imagine that plant energy allocating giants are precisely the kind of entities shamans would make alliance with to do their work. Unfortunately I don't know any shaman that can support or deny. But as for validity in shared experiences, the significance would be in commonalities of much stranger territory. Things that we cannot speak, draw, paint, sculpt, sing or dance. But if we could somehow recreate hyperspacial / multidimensional objects to share with our friends, we could more easily study their implications. Is that even possible from a realm beyond the archetypal mind? Not without the proper technology. If it's not as language-able as the energy giant, it can still be emulated with infinitely greater clarity and awe in virtual reality. My interest in graphic and visual technology goes much further than it's surface appeal to the entertainment industry. I think we possess the technology today to create a graphics engine that can essentially navigate hyperspace like a maze. Imagine if a shaman took me to a "legitimate" spirit realm for example, and I was then inspired to recreate said realm virtually. I could then use projections of that realm to navigate back to it. Like marking certain dimensions with a beacon for reliable return.

…just an idea

Holy hell thank you! I will be spending a while reading through this.
