so you approached it from a scientific aspect. you were supposed to have a "clear, focused mind." meaning, you were only supposed to focus on the light in your pupils, and have a clear mind. thinking of anything ruins the experience. nothing new will come while you are thinking(old). understand?
ok, not enough people are involved, so i can't get a wider idea of what happened with me. i'm going to give up searching for answers to the questions raised with the results i had, which are pretty dissimilar from everyone else's results, so far.
oh, i see why this thread isn't getting a lot of attention. there is no way people can really ARGUE about this subject.

i will be doing this again tomorrow night. i don't think i will be able to learn anything new, so i will be doing it for a little longer this time. 4 or 5 hours should suffice.
was too busy to do it again. was supposed to go back out crabbing 3 nights in a row, it's not happening. can't get the silence i need anyway, too much noise in the house.

I did this when I was younger for some time, it was scary at first but later not that much. I can't remember if I discovered anything though. It sounds a lot like meditation though, and I do practice that.

Yesterday I was about to go to bed late and I thought about what a friend had told me, how meditation can clear your head and trigger more vivid dreams. I thought I'd start with some sword-cutting exercises to calm my mind so I headed to the living room. Seeing as the mirror was there I thought I'd give it another try afterwards, with my mind tired but clear. The hallucinations started sooner this time, perhaps from the first minute even. My mouth disappeared, my skin covering what should have been there. A little later skin covered my eyes, it should have been freaky but I was actually in a curious mood. I did not judge it, so far so good. A tiny blink refreshed my face which started taking a wrinkled, leathery texture. Whoa, this is getting interesting. Something caught my eye or my eye wandered, the image refreshed again. My face started.. blurring like a shadow. A dark brown shadow, there were no features at all. Actually all my upper body that was visible in the mirror. I also saw my face enveloped in a white aura for a fleeting moment, not sure if that was before or after. And then.. my sister made some noise from the other room and the moment was gone.
Didn't feel like continuing though it was an interesting experience. She asked what I was doing and after I told her she was curious why I would even want to do that ^^ She tried it anyway but she was really bored staring at the mirror, nothing was happening. In the end she saw a few subtle changes which were too minor to tell if something had really changed. Guess she wasn't in that kind of mindset. In the morning I woke 2 secs before my alarm clock rang and I actually had a clearer had than usual. It might have been that I was rested during the weekend but I think that my mental preparation before going to bed helped a bit.
PS there was a light breeze(seen but not felt) and moving curtains in the background but I could ignore them most of the time. Light was coming in from a room around the corner, not as dim as you describe but my room was not directly lit and I could make out my face somewhat clearly. My cats also came around, curious about what I was doing but soon settled beside me without distracting me

cool, i never had any skin cover anything. i've been wanting to do it lately, but there is always noise where i am at. i'll have to try it again someplace else. thanks for the update, elvin. i'm glad that this hasn't been forgotten yet.
edit: i will be able to do this again in the next couple of days(possibly tonight, if i'm up to it). i will have the quiet i need.
