The epistemology in Scripture discerns between Body, Soul, Spirit. It also discerns Body from Flesh.
The brain and our neurological structures do influence our thinking.
Our thinking is a mental process, identified with the mind, which is part of our soul.
Recall or memory is also part of the soul.
There are portions of our brain which are identified with memory recall.
Our reasoning processes are identified with the mind, part of our soul.
Our thinking may be interrupted by physical senses of the Body, so the brain can influence our soul.
The soul is a common trait of all humans, believers, and nonbelievers.
The human spirit is a discernibly different facet providing just as lucid of perception as the soul or the body. Unbelievers do not understand this, because they do not have a regenerated human spirit. It is given to the believer at the moment of exercising saving faith.
Vivid dreams similar to that which you describe, may be a soulish exercise in the mind, but they also are likely to have been spiritually induced.
The next step is to check and test the spirits. One method of testing the veritablity of those experiences is by study of the Word of God and allowing God the Holy Spirit to sanctify your thinking in your soul, which He does through our human spirit. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
Your experience isn’t simply random electrical charges. That would be noise, like white noise on a TV tube. On the contrary, it had intelligence, and it is ignorantly arrogant to think somehow our insight is manifest only when we relax, because of only our thinking, and not the influence of others.
We can simply recognize, not ignore, such experience, then we can test the causes of the experience, recognizing they also are sentient beings, by the Word of God to glorify Christ. No matter what the situation, through faith in Christ, we remain on the right path.

Thanks for the reply- I do not beleive what I experienced was physical or even of the spirit nature as it was absoltuely contrary to God’s word- I am convinced it was a high fever induiced hallucination and perhaps a Near death induced misfirign of the mind-

As I stated in my last post- them idn is a very complex thing- I never mentioend that I only experienced it because I was ‘relaxed’- infact I was anythign but relaxed- everythgin was goign haywire- I was in convulsions, throwing up, flopping around, my mind was goign berzerk- I think that because everythigtn was so contrary to God’s word that it couldn’t have been anythign BUT lucid ‘dreaming’ or lucid hallucinations whatever hte case may be-
I reamin steadfast in My faith and Sal;vation despite the horrible experience I had (although I was for a tiem quite shook- but I was also only 17 years old and very very sick and weak both phtyisically and mentally too so my mental strength was also affected and I was less strogn hten than I am now but I still held to my Slavatio nthrough Christ even i nthe darkest hours)
