spiritual midday naps sorta

[Jannes]

I dont know why but its pretty common for me to experience higher consciousness fragments specifically on an afternoon nap.

Its hard to describe the experience, its very emotional, very beautiful, out of this world but also much more home. I could melt in it, its like everything good in the world is THAT. Its qualitatively completly different from what I experience throughout the day and its orders of magnitutes better then what I experience on a regular bases. Usually I only experience it for a short while, like a few seconds or even just a spark. 

Anyone got a clue where this comes from or through which practice you can get more of it if midday naps open me up to it ?

maybe because your digestion wakes you up before you restore enough energy to have higher consciousness

I have no idea what you mean with this.

If I wake at 10 and then nap at 2 my dream will be crazy. Everytime.

Maybe yoga nidra, that's yogic sleep. I've never had an obe from this channel but it's always been worthwhile, sometimes blissful sometimes trippy.

Because you are in a moment of total relaxation, where the barriers your psyche creates to function in life among humans fall for a moment, then your mind clears, your heart opens, and you perceive with clarity the full brilliance of reality, of the fact of being, and you realize that everything is in it.

Yeah maybe

A nap isnt the most relaxing state though, that would be deep sleep. But in a nap your body and mind cools down from working, its still relatively active, you could get going right away. Perhaps that has anything to do with it.

Midday naps are the definition of decadent.

From a more sciency perspective:  sleep is inherently linked to memory and learning.  During sleep the psyche simultaneously processes and discards extraneous memories and retains significant details for recall, recollections, and reflection.  If one is spending more time in REM sleep, at more frequent intervals, they are inevitably going to have a clearer conscience ( for lack of better words ).  Maybe what you're observing are the fruits inherent with that clarity combined with your own personal development?

Best guess.
