Yeah jamie harmalas definitely can put you into what seems like that state, although as you said its hard to almost ever verify it, which is why i didn't mention it. It can be in your face however. Also, sometimes its not only a vision of some place/event/thing out there, but your having it before the actual thing happens. Its that non-local aspect of time which really boggles me. For example, i was meditating two days ago and had a sort of hypnagogia dreamlike experience of seeing my cat jump on the bed on the other side of the room. I snapped out of it and a few seconds after i did so she came bursting into my room unusually fast and jumped on the bed in the exact same way.
Joedirt, you shoulda asked him! I can relate to the eeriness though. Here's a creepy one i posted in december in some thread:
hours before the earthquake hit off the cost of japan this year causing the tsunami i couldn't stop thinking about earthquakes. We never ever even have them around here in NY and i've never experienced one, nor do i really ever think about them (not a geology major or anything like that)..but i couldn't stop vividly picturing myself experiencing what it'd be like..and i even asked myself a few times: "why the heck do i keep picturing all this!?" I even thought myself weak minded for not being able to shake the thought. Something in the back of my mind wondered if some sort of precognitive thing was going on though, since i was pretty familiar with it at that point
The next morning no one i talked to seemed to have watched the news or have known about the japan incident that had happened that night, including me. i sat in a spanish class with a guy named jesus (common spanish name) who was joking about how we bombed japan back in the day, and i was getting furious. I had an image, not really a vision, but sort of an involuntary video bubble up in my head of thousands of mangled japanese bodies bursting through the door and smashing jesus into the wall. it bubbled up in a similar way that syncronous imaginings tend to. Then i realized i was imagining them all in water bursting through the door, and thought that was weird since we bombed japan, not flooded it. I again thought myself just weak minded and idiotic for incorporating water into it when it had nothing to do with hiroshima and nagasaki bombings
then ten minutes after class i saw the tsunami news while passing by a tv
