Is this experience of being hit on the head during Zazen a form of magical experience?

The sensations you experience during meditation are mere projections of the mind; recognize them as dreams and return to the clarity of simple awareness.

— Osho
Synthesized from Source outcome
If you feel a hit in zazen, it’s your mind pretending—like a dream—so just notice it and stay aware.
Why this matters practically
- Prevents getting lost in fantasies during meditation.
- Strengthens clear, steady awareness.
- Builds the skill of recognizing dreamlike states, supporting awakening.
