Ok, the purpose of this thread is to help narrow down the reason for this strange "feeling" many of us have been experiencing over the past couple of days (at least). I love puzzles, and if this is something that is effecting quite a few people, who have never experienced this before, then I think it's worth finding the pieces and putting them together, and solve what could be causing this. (if it ends up being supernatural, then so be it)
Please refer to another energy shift last night? as a reference.
So lets start with the symptoms.
Their are a wide variety of symptoms, and it seems people are experiencing the feeling differently.
here is a list of some of the symptoms that have had multiple reports.
* loss of apatite
* dizziness
* loss of sleep
* vivid dreams
* feelings of terror
* feelings of peace
* colorful happy dreams
* nightmares
* ringing in the ear
* depression
* anxiety
* energetic
* headache
* feelings of awareness
* nervous feelings
* un-explainable feelings (mind and body)
* light body feelings/out of body feelings
* time flux (up and down)
* the explainable
* many others
Here are some questions that need to be answered in order to find the pieces.
Question 1: What did you experience
Question 2: Where was your location at the time of the event.
Question 3: What were you doing prior to the experience
Question 4: How long did it last?
Question 5: How many times have you experienced it.
Question 6: When is it/was it strongest?
Question 7: Is there anything you know of that may have caused/enhanced your experience?
Question 8: What did others around you feel, if anything?
Question 9: Have you noticed anything else happen (unrelated to people)? (such as animals acting or strange noises)
Question 10: What kinds of things could cause something like this, that you know of.
Question 11: Is there anything in the local/national/world/internet news?
Question 12: What is your Age/Race/Gender
I'm sure this list will grow, but in order to begin to put some pieces together, we must first find the pieces.
Here is all I know so far.
The most common denominator is that it is uninvited nor did most seek to feel it.
(some welcome experiences, some not)
The 2nd most common is that it is mind/brain related and often a feeling goes through the body.
(conscious and unconscious/soul related).
The 3rd most common is that it is a very powerful (most powerful in some cases) experience/feeling.
So Lets start finding the pieces and solving the riddle if possible.
MY TAKE: Way to many X factors and missing pieces for anyone to pinpoint exactly what it is. They are all theories thus far.
Things we should consider:
What other common denominators are there?
Are commonalities location related?
Are commonalities age/gender/race related?
What natural phenomenons are happening?
What other commonalities are there?
With enough impute we can figure this out.
Possible causes: Natural Earth related, Natural Space related, Man Made, Wildlife related, Electronic Related, Weather Related, supernatural related. This list could go on as of right now.
We need to start taking things off the list of possibilities, to find the answer.
That is unless someone has actual proof of an actual answer.

I would like to add to this thread as well, as I posted in the other one this morning.
I would also like to say to those who are of the opinion that these symptoms are common at any given point, whether due to a cold or the side effects of medications - I can understand the point you are making, and while I would probably agree usually, I find it interesting that many of us here [and probably many others who haven't ever heard of ATS] are experiencing a majority of these symptoms at the same time. I think that is where the 'puzzle' is that the op is talking about. We are all strangers posting on a board, living all over the world, all feeling overwhelmed enough by these symptoms to turn to others who may be experiencing the same. I know myself and I know my body, and I know what I have been experiencing is outside of the norm for me, and I think that is what we all have in common here.
As for the questions posed -
Question 1: What did you experience
I have been experiencing surges of energy with the loss of appetite, lack of sleep, ringing in ears which has come on at a volume that is almost deafening and makes me grab my head most times. I have had ringing before, but not to this extent. I've had feelings of peace and acceptance, clarity, and understanding of situations I have been struggling with. Time has also been speeding up for me. Last night was when I had my 'event', and during this I was meditating, and I experienced waves of energy and light coming over me, while I lost all sensation of having a body. I was buzzing for quite a while afterwards.
Question 2: Where was your location at the time of the event
I am located in Canada, and during this time I was at home.
Question 3: What were you doing prior to the experience
Sitting on the couch eating candy, watching a show that shall remain nameless, and just feeling...meh.
Question 4: How long did it last?
This has been going on for a few weeks, as far as having all these sensations at once, but my meditation lasted about an hour last night and I am still feeling it today.
Question 5: How many times have you experienced it.
I have not ever meditated like that before. Whenever I meditate, I find it will take at least an hour of meditating to get to a state where I am not anxious or fearful. It's something I always have to push through before I can get anywhere, but there was none of that last night. As for the other symptoms, I would say I have experienced that maybe a handful or two of times in my life, but usually spaced out a couple years apart.
Question 6: When is it/was it strongest?
During my meditation, around midnight.
Question 7: Is there anything you know of that may have caused/enhanced your experience?
Nothing that I know of. I don't use drugs and I rarely drink, and last night the urge to meditate came out of nowhere. I wasn't in the frame of mind I usually am when I do meditate, but I just went with it, and experienced something I never have before.
Question 8: What did others around you feel, if anything?
My mother experienced vivid dreams like many here, and a couple friends have been losing sleep, but other than that this is all I've heard for now. I am waiting to hear back from a few.
Question 9: Have you noticed anything else happen (unrelated to people)? (such as animals acting or strange noises)
My cats are typically lovey, but they have been even moreso as of late. I was house sitting and my neighbour has 7 cats, one of which was terribly abused and doesn't come out, even around her owners. As soon as I walked in the house she came running to me, and has stuck by my side whenever I walk in. All of the cats there have become more attention seeking - as in, they all follow me wherever I am in the house and sit with me when I sit down. I have done house sitting for them many times before and their animals have never acted like this, particularly the abused cat. I was talking to the owners the other day and they were floored that she had come out of her room.
Question 10: What kinds of things could cause something like this, that you know of.
I can't say I know of something that would cause people all over the world to feel the same things at the same moments, but I wouldn't doubt there are theories.
Question 11: Is there anything in the local/national/world/internet news?
Not that I have been made aware of but I will be keeping an eye out.
Question 12: What is your Age/Race/Gender
24, Caucasian, Female.
