No, Ruth, I never had such an experience. However, that reminds me of the momentary vivid visual I had during sleep today afternoon, all alone at home.
In the dream, I was looking through an open door into an almost very dark room. In the room, there was a bed with some individual seated on top of it, with the two legs bent at the knee or the meditative posture (to put it simply). I could not make out who the individual was, as all I could see was a dark sombre mass of a human frame silhouetted in the backdrop of the darkness permeating the room. However, suddenly there came to be a flash of lightning, which applied some light on the individual. The individual was none other than me, who was looking or staring back at me, with a cold and knowing (almost menacing) look in the eye. I woke up with a start. I wonder what it all means, if anything! Probably, it was an encounter with my shadow, like how Jung explained in all those videos.
May be I should stop watching and listening to Jung for sometime! :p
