Altered Consciousness
Altered Consciousness refers to a state of awareness that differs significantly from ordinary waking experience. These states can occur naturally through dreaming, meditation, trance, intense emotion, exhaustion, or sensory deprivation, and they can also be produced through ritual practices or psychoactive substances. Throughout history, cultures around the world have deliberately entered altered states as part of spiritual ceremonies, healing practices, divination, and attempts to encounter realities beyond everyday perception. During an altered state, time may appear to accelerate, slow down, or disappear, while ordinary boundaries between the self and the surrounding world can become less distinct.
