Yes! I have the same feeling. Like I live in a different dimension, or some other dimensions have opened to me. It's not that plants and animals speak to me now, but rather that I am more receptive of their vibes, can exist at their coordinates. Has your foot contributed to this sleep"walking" effect? Is that the year and a half?
Stillness
opens portals
to powers unimagined
Something like that.
It is as the poems says - I better add stillness to that.
And yes, the damn foot is guilty, but it has all settled and the doctor has announced that I should be able to get on with my life (exercise needed, but else no lasting defects as both he and especially I feared for a couple of month).
Good news! I'm very happy to hear this.
