A subject I have studied for many years.
Let No One discourage you at any time…
You have "Connected" to the other end of the Mind.
Your “Inner Mind” (that is geographically where you experience from) has "Connected" to the “Outer Mind” which carries a "Cloned Version" of The All.
In all existence there is Nothing at all, which does Not have both….
a. An “Inner”
and
b. An “Outer”
Whether only "Conceptual" or not
So when you say you “Connect” you have discovered the All of the Self, which is a Cloned version of The All itself.
The "Sceptic" avoids this, perhaps Not wanting to know, in case the “bogy man” is there.... Hence why some fear, or are nervous of darkness.
But there is no “bogy man” there…. LOL
"Knowledge of the Self" is the greatest wealth one can have, as all else has a beginning and an end.
But the True Self is "Immortal".

I can follow a conversation for what seems to me for 5 minutes or more, what throws me out is the sudden realization of what I am doing. My mind seems to flip between two modes, I can only describe it as the "here" and the "their" my awareness of self brings me back to here.
I can't imagine yet how I can control this, as the very act of consciously trying to expand the experience brings me back into the "here". Now that I am aware of the phenomena, I will try to take some control over it and see where it leads me.
Interesting the word connect as I don't feel that their is any two way communication I feel as though I am a fly on the wall figuratively speaking and that those I am witnessing have no awareness of me.
I will contact you if I can expand this experience into something more tangible.

So what do other people see when they lay down in a darkened room with ambient sounds or music? I see a kaleidoscope of movements and colors and I then am able to break into my imagination where I can manage what I see by visualizations. Funny, I always thought everyone could do this!
I know I hear voices and others say they cannot, but the visuals? Are others not seeing them? Sometimes I use these to build things in real-time, I will take a project and completely do it in my head then if there are any adjustments or snags I can take care of how to overcome them before I actually start the project for real.
I dream within dreams.
When I go to bed at night sometimes the visuals are so intense it takes me hours to finally get to sleep. I see lots of purples and violets but on several rare occasions I see a speck of light shining in the far off distance and just as I begin to focus on it it disappears.
Sometimes, just as I am ready to doze off is when a voice jumps in and says something to me or a noise will shatter the silence like a bang or explosion. I can usually dismiss the voices but the explosion can sometimes set my heart racing for a bit. There have been times when I have had to sit up because suddenly my heart was pounding so hard like I became frightened but there wasn't anything associated with fear.
I always thought everyone went through this. I always wondered how people lay their heads down and then within seconds they are snoring and are out like a light! I cannot, even when I am so exhausted it does not work that way. I run through my day and I run through visualizations before my mind shuts down into sleep.
I am a natural Lucid Dreamer, I have always been that way since I was in the Crib as a child. I know Lucid is not the average experience but I never really think of it as rare or unusual.

If you can do it, it can be taught to other people as well.
Please write out a set of excercises to help people get to this "connection" you speak of, then bundle it into a free pdf guide and create a good link and send it out into the ether. People need help these days, to get to these places. My intuition tells me you might have a future helping people get into this state and to make their own connection.
