I read about this; and now am finding it in my own practice

(?)
Well here I go again rambling on

after several months of meditation now I've noticed some things just recently developing.
When I was a child I saw the world differently (needless to say...). For example I'd often wake up early morning (the sun is rising but it's still dark) and see something on my bedroom floor but I can't make out what it is... and I would imagine it's a racoon or scary face or some odd, undefinable thing but not anything recognizable. I knew it wasn't really a demon face or anything like that but I'd stare at it trying to figure out what the hell it was and could not; until I get out of bed, moving and my perspective of it would change; the face vanishes of course and I see that, oh it's just a towel on the floor.
This hasn't happened to me since I was very young; now it's happening again. I really wonder if it's good or bad. Likely it doesn't matter at all. But it's interesting.
What it is really, according to what I know anyway, is a 'simpler or child like' perception. We evolved to live on the safe side by imagining things that are literally not there. Cavemen stayed alive if they assumed that rustle in the bushes was a dangerous animal, not just the wind (as it may really have been).
Then we came to live in these societies which are much safer than what humans have been so used to. And we've come to categorize some of these older perceptions as illusory or whatever.
Or maybe I'm overthinking that and it doesn't really have much to do with evolution.
What was better: seeing things as they 'really' are? Or seeing fun illusions that I don't believe are real? Now I know someone is going to say to me; just ignore it; let it be. Or what is 'real' and 'illusion' anyway? Now I'm putting words into mouths of people who haven't even responded yet. (This is why I got into meditation; my ego really is a bastard)
