Do you know that feeling when you wake up and don’t remember where you are or how you got there? That’s me right now — but I actually don’t know where I am or how I got here.

I just woke up, my head feeling dizzy, in a completely white room. I can’t even fathom where the edges of the room are. I sit on the floor, with my legs crossed, and look around. The room is so bright that my eyes hurt. It’s similar to a sunny day when you’re outside and look directly at the sun, only constantly.

I try to close my eyes, but I still feel the light getting in. It blinds me and fills my confused brain, hindering me from thinking about any other thing. I spend a few minutes with my eyes closed, just existing. Then, I take a deep breath and let the limpid air fill my lungs.

I open my eyes and squint, but I actually feel my body getting better. Weightless. The room is niveous and clean, but not frosty. It’s kind of odd how I don’t feel cold. I look down and notice I’m only wearing a silky white dress, similar to a summery nightgown.

After a few minutes, I stand up on my bare feet and start to walk around the room. The whole chamber seems to be made of a white shiny stone, but the floor has some mistiness to it. Feels soft on my feet.

After some steps, I get close to the wall and touch it. Weirdly, it doesn’t feel like a prison. I can tell there’s more beyond it and I want to explore it. My hand is laying on the wall and I don’t feel scared about it.

As I move, my left foot stumbles on something and I notice a white piece of paper on the floor, almost unnoticeable on the white surface. It’s folded in four. I open it and it reads itself out loud: “Your meditation session is over. Well done.”

Some sort of relaxation program?

Could be :)

Or the state you enter when you’re in deep concentration, like you don’t remember who you are and don’t really think about anything. You know there are other things. But, at that moment, you just exist.

I interpreted it as her "normal" life being a state of meditation that she just awoke from
