In deep trance states, the body progressively fades away and you perceive what would ordinarily feel like body sensations as other things, as the mind loses its frame of reference to cause and effect. All experience thus gets created by mind.

I imagine with practice anything is possible regarding VR. The mind can make anything believable if you just relax and let it happen.

That's generally good advice for journeying of any kind, whether we're talking about VR, psychedelics, drumming, meditation, lucid dreaming, or reading a really good book.

It's also exceptionally good advice for nights with your partner.
I have been obsessed with similar thoughts.

I am learning VR Development in my free time just to explore this. I want to make a VR guided meditation program, to help beginning mediators reach deeper states than they would normally be able to.
