Telepathy, out of body, rhythm and hashish?

[neonsky]

Swim has had many experiences of telepathy recently, but swim would like to recount one that has stuck in her mind for a long time.

Swim was in India, having smoked a chillum or too, and was sitting on a porch of a bamboo guets house next to her boyfriend and with some other travellers. A drum and bass track by Seba - So long was playing on a stereo and everybody very chilled, just meditating on the beautiful surroundings of the tropical palm grove and the music. The music had the effect of seeming to 'separate' swims mind. One part concentrating on the drum and bass beat, one part on the slow strings in the track.

Swim thought to herself "i should get my camera out of my room, and take a picture of this beautiful scene" but couldn't really be bothered to move, and negotiate the task of getting up (swim was quite stoned really).

So Swim imagined or visualized I.e. ran through in her head, the motion of getting up, going into the room, getting the camera, and standing and taking a picture of the group on the porch. Except swim didnt actually do it. Swiy may have had the same feeling of 'planning' your route when swiy is wasted and cant quite get up!

But.. As swim sat down back next to her boyfriend (in her imagination remember) he turned to her and said "oh. you're back"
Swim was stunned and confused and asked what he meant
He said you just got up and took a picture of us didnt you?"

But there was no picture, swim had not moved, yet her boyfriend had 'seen' where she went.

Did Swim project her thought? leave her body. swim was quite disoriented after 'returning' to sit back down from her imaginary trip to take the photo.. and the visualization of getting up had been the strongest swim had ever had..

Any theories?

If you want a logical explanation, you could have blacked out the part where you did the action and others saw it. Believe it's possible based on Swim's experiences with pot/hash. But that is only one explanation. Swim could not even attempt to reason on the issue of metaphysical and such. Too difficult to know for sure.

hmm, yes. But we checked to see if swim had actually got up and done it. But no, everyone said swim was just sitting there staring into space.. swim's partner the same state
