Cannon includes a case where a subject feels herself descending through a funnel of colors back into her sleeping body. The sensation mirrors the return from a deep lucid dream. Her limbs feel heavy as she reconnects with physical awareness.
The being accompanying her assures her that the work is done. She awakens with heightened emotion and disorientation. The transition is seamless yet symbolic.
Cannon interprets this re-entry as the completion of an altered-state journey conducted in a dreamlike realm.
