Many years ago, I was new to meditation. I didn't have much meditation experience, and I did little to improve myself. I was a teenager, and those were dark times, and I was often anxious.
It was the summer, and I was always going to the beach. Day after day, I had also developed the habit of starting a meditation process in the water. In my area, there are always very few people at the beach, and by a certain time, I was practically alone in the water, far from the coast, meditating under the scorching sun.
The water was so salty and dense that I could lie down and float easily without sinking, so I could even close my eyes.
It wasn't the first time I'd meditated in the water.
At a certain point, I had a very strange vision. A strange, ethereal figure appeared before me, a mystical creature. The sun was not yet setting, and I also noticed a distortion in the light spectrum that caused the sea to have anomalous and more pronounced colors at the same time. This strange figure was observing me. It seemed to be a woman, wearing a translucent dress, with clear eyes, and it seemed to be peering into my soul. I didn't receive any visible message. It didn't speak, it didn't communicate in any way, it simply observed me. Then it turned away, at a certain point it disappeared, the color of the sea returned to normal, the color of the sunlight stabilized. I woke up from the trance and noticed that I was the only one on my entire section of the beach; there was no one there. I simply returned to shore, shocked by what I had seen in those waters.
In the following days, I began meditating in those waters again, but I never saw that figure again, I never saw anything again, I never saw anything again. I had no other sensations, it seemed as if everything had vanished, and yet the memory hadn't. Years later, the memory remains vivid in my mind and even in my heart. I never quite understood who this strange entity was. Perhaps it was a Goddess, but I have no proof. Perhaps they were simply hallucinations, but I don't think so. It was all too real. I'm writing about my experience on the forum (perhaps some of you have had similar experiences) and I also created this artistic dedication to this mysterious figure who interacted with me in the water. I created both a static image and even animated it in a video that I compressed to save space. This memory can't be just a simple memory. I feel there was an interaction, that perhaps it was a real message from some unknown entity, and the entity that appeared before me didn't seem at all negative.
(And that's not all, I recently had an extremely vivid dream, the most beautiful dream I've ever had. I managed to create an extremely precise and detailed map of every feature of the dream. I'll publish this too in the future!)
