I've had experiences similar in nature happen to me. I would absolutely love to have been in his space shoes lol. That would blow anyone's mind. It has happened while being outside or driving, talking to someone i know or just met. Your body feels molded into your surroundings while you get this feeling of being 'awoken'. It's so hard to explain. I have had where whomever i was talking to for a few seconds i actually realize i have no idea who they are, though fully being aware that i know them, if that makes sense. It's almost like looking through me then them and beyond for a few seconds. Very odd sensation. I had it happen admiring surroundings as well.
