This peculiar state of consciousness can also manifest some extraordinary memory effects. On numerous occasions, after falling asleep while reading a book, I experienced
total recall of the text. This was usually in the morning, after many hours of sleep.
While slowly rising to consciousness, caught in between waking and dreaming, I once again see the book before me. Thinking I'd dozed off, I back up a few pages and re-read. When I reach the point at which I fell asleep, I keep going, now breaking new ground as my creative mind (or connection to the
Akashic Records kicks in) begins to fill in.
Upon waking fully, I realized what happened, grab the book and confirm that I did in fact perfectly recall the text, word-for-word. The continuation fabricated by my mind, though creative and convincing, was not accurate.
