A line of thought - nothing is paranormal; the term paranormal itself is subjective and defined by culture, particularly the current understanding of science. The last thing you want to be is 'normal', as defined by culture ;¬)
Regarding the vibrational state, it's a common precursor to three things...
1. OBE (usually random)
2. Astral Projection (usually intended)
3. Death
Consider it a valid part of experiencing other dimensions of consciousness. I've woken up in the vibrational state many times, which is exciting, as it's easy to project astrally from there. Sometimes I set the intention when falling asleep: "I wish to wake up in the vibrational state".
Regarding the swirlies, yes, noticed them since childhood. Always fascinated me! I used (who am I kidding, still do) enjoy thinking of them as 'the force' (Star Wars). But we all know Lucas was influenced a great deal by the metaphysical, hence Yoda being named after Yoga (unity with All That Is).
I also see bright flashes - orbs - flying around the room. Usually over people's heads after a healing session or when discussing spiritual matters. Never - ever - when in an ego/material influenced conversation.
