I have always wondered what that is like for someone experiencing it. I never was "catatonic" in the psychotic sense of the term (because I do not have that type of mental health problem). However, is it possible to get "catatonic" for a little while from being under the influence of psychadelics? There were a few times I think I may have experienced something like this while "out there". I have had a couple of experiences with drugs (mushrooms and massive amounts of weed) where I just kind of went into this state where I "ceased to exist" for short periods of time and just sat somewhere like a comatose person staring at the wall saying nothing with either a blank look or retarded grin on my face. I felt, and still feel that these moments were like looking into something beyond the reality that we all live in on a day to day basis. I feel like those moments truly were an ultimate form of enlightenment even if it was simply a drug-induced stupor, especially since some friends of mine have attained the same state with no drugs involved. I know one guy who it just randomly happened to without the use of any drugs or even meditation. He just looked at a brick wall and all of a sudden, he just became instantly "enlightened" in a similar manner through the power of his own mind. Is this anything like what "catatonia" is?
