…actually i was prone to visions really, for a few years at least. Probably starting around 4th grade. Well, more like full-body visions, like I’d ‘feel it’ and then it would be visual.
So like if I was imagining Seraphim, I’d first notice how hot everything was and how bright it was before I noticed them.
then I’d notice that I was being observed by something. but it was a very calm something. And lots of somethings.
Then I was covered up and I’d come to.
I had a few things like that. Very active imagination. I’m pretty sure the shielding/sci-fi connection came later as a way to tell a story about it without telling a story about it, doing substitutions writing short stories.
I suspect these were my little escapes from anxiety; go off into my own imagination using whatever was at hand for a few moments.
