I had been being lazing for some time, not doing tensegrity.
I just got started doing it again, and I got an immediate intent gift.
I did 20 minutes of lifesaver pass and had been lying down listening to the sounds of the world. I turned to my side, and my laptop was open, with a Discord chat with someone I know on the subreddit.
There were strange symbols in the chat that I knew were used to connect me to them, and I pressed one of them with my finger, and exchanged a few words with them. They hadn't heard anything, but I might have been speaking to their double or their IOB.
Then, the laptop was gone, and my vision was completely filled with tiny silvery hexagons, and there was a strobing white light like when tunnels can form where the laptop had been that was around for a few minutes while I was looking at things in my room with hexagons in my vision.
An interesting part is that my laptop is not a touchscreen, so I could not press anything in the chat with my finger.
It looked sort of like this, except the hexagons covered everything in my sight and my laptop had become a flickering light.
I know laptops aren't supposed to be used in bed like this... It was funny though, that this was one night where I had put my laptop away on my desk before practicing.

It's inevitable for places where sorcerers focus their attention, to become phantom places in the dreaming realm.
We've seen too many examples in the books to recall them all. But that's pretty much what "the wall of fog" is.
Then there's the death defier's phantom city in Tula.
Carlos' phantom copy of his home on Pandora.
Zuleica's phantom copy of the lineages home near Ortiz. Or is it Vicam?
I ended up with one in my home, when Cholita introduced me to Minx, the second ally of Carlos, and we were all focusing our awareness on stuff from the second attention.
Then there's God, who you can visit just because billions of people have prayed to him for hundreds of thousands of years.
And heaven, which is a very nice place to get over a hangover.
The fact is, reality itself is just a collection of awarenesses focusing on the same range of emanations for long periods of time.
It's certainly not the only one possible, and only one of 600 we have access to, as mapped out by the old seers.
Reality = a stable collection of the emanations from the dark sea of awareness, which is already "seasoned" by the awareness other beings, focused there in the past.
The Eagle, is a chef. Not a devourer.
We got stuck with the image of an Eagle, just because the first few seers to succeed at perceiving it, saw it as vaguely like an Eagle.
I can definitely say it’s funny though, that I considered it perfectly natural to tap on the symbols on the screen even though everything about it was strange in regular life
I believe you've noticed "the abstract" leaking into your practice.
But it's the "near abstract".
Not quite the kind that can't be talked about, thought about, or written about.
It's being "interpreted" into something more concrete.
Those tend to decay over time until they're still concrete, but make no sense at all.
And can be used to "measure" your levels of rationality, in waking dreaming states.
I was trying to switch realities consciously last night, and the only think I had available was a bar chart. If I raised the bars on one side, I ended up in one place.
On the other side, a different place.
I suspect that entity was Minx. I was trying to pull an entity from the inorganic being's realm earlier, and realized there were thousands of old seers trapped in there.
At least, I sure hope that's Minx... Seems like a decent compromise between squirrel, and female.
