OP i can relate. I had a psychosis back in 2005 which led me to believe i was the messiah. After investigating what had happened to me i came across something called the messiah complex or messianic complex. It is not something documented in the book of psychological symptoms that the psychological world refers to in order to diagnose patients symptoms however it is something which is known by a few psychologists and sits on the fringes of what is accepted in the world of psychology.
After many years i look back at my experience and understand it on two levels. The first is that something happened to my psychologically, something which even psychologists are not able to quantify in professional terms just yet. The second is that it was also something deeply spiritual.
Many of us have already experienced awakenings in differing levels of intensity and many of will continue to do so. In my honest opinion it is something which has not fully been identified and discussed out in the open as it is still something relatively new to the human experience but as more of us awaken it will become a phenomenon talked about by the whole world, of this i have little doubt.
These experiences can be refered to as episodes of psychosis or as i prefer to call them.... blessings.
You are here to enable the divine purpose of the universe to unfold. That is how important you are!

I think a lot of people here can perhaps identify with the experience of having an « awakening » of some sort in their lives ? I did too, and it really seemed like until that phase, I had been a person walking and acting unconsciously, or at least unaware.
That phase happened in different « steps », of many kinds, and accompanied with different sudden insights and ways of seeing things.
At one point, there was a sense of my being « important », of having a mission of some sort I came here to do. I had a « big dream » of entering a castle that had been turned into a hotel, and I had a secret mission to turn it back to it’s former glory. I was checking the cheap wall coverings to see if the original stone structure was intact (an dhappy to find it was). I went to the desk and was given a key to a room. In the room I went to the closet, removed a false back to it, and found white robes. I remembered hiding them there long ago, to come get at this important time. I put them on, ready to start the renovation.....
Whenever I remember this time fo that dream, I understand the people that come onto boards with the announcement that they are here to save the world or something. They sound nuts, and I think they might be misinterpreting something..... but I also know what they are feeling and suspect it might have a grain of truth in it.
We have anscestral luggage. Patterns in the family that are replayed over and over and over..... even without ever being told what grandma or grandpa did, somehow we end fidning out we did the same thing, the same mistakes. I seriously think an anscestral memory lives in our DNA. Some studies with rats have suggested the same thing- rats taught to do a certain maze give birth to off spring that can learn that maze quicker than ones born of parents that didn’t learn it.
So what if the souls our anscestors watch with baited breath asking is He/She the One ?
Is He/she the one that will break the cycles, break the patterns, create themself and close the circles ? Will he/She have the strength and courage to make a new experience, a new world ?
Or will he/she also trip and fall and end up waiting and watching with us, the next generations, sending them messages- you have a mission ! You are terribly important ! You can DO IT !
We might ALL be extremely important, the One, the Savior of many, if we heed the call.

I love dares and challenges!
I AM the One! (at least for my family)
But if I hadn't accepted the challenge and broken out of the patterns of my family, it would have been because it is very hard, it is very painful, and much sacrifice (in the immediate) comes with that, and it would have been very understandable and forgiveable if I hadn't. I would have just joined the ranks of my anscestors cheering on my offspring and theirs, hoping one would be able to do it.
