When I’ve described my experiences at times, I’ve seen the following happening:
When I describe sometimes my events, people assume this and that and create a fantasy around it. Then, when they come back with responses, I had to tell them, there was a lot left out, or shortened or for simplicity just focused on the important part and there’s a lot not described or seen by them.
What you described, is the case with these experiences (speaking about mine) often… they are not necessarily linear, they don’t happen instantly (sometimes it takes time, meditation or something else, before manifestation starts happening or it’s only the event after the x-th try).
Dreams are not movies, they can be short, they can be blurry, or something else, there can be a lot left out of how it was perceived and so on, but the reader may create a movie-like fantasy around it.
And often, there are also negative things which may have occured. As also, other things added by some senses, feelings or other impressions which may accompanied the experience, and someone not going into all these details or clarifications, but instead only describing the “overall” impression of them all. Or lots of these left out. At least for mine that’s the case.
I’ve to assure you, even if the descriptions of it may create a different impression sometimes, they are often much less shiny in reality than they may come across. There are so many things usually left out (ie. saying I felt xy, may have been a rather faint sensation of feeling), as otherwise it would take so much more time to describe it, which would be rather done only when writing literature.
Can’t speak for the newbies, but regarding those who are at least some years in these things, even if not much advanced at all in magick (like I consider myself included), you have to remember, that these things don’t happen on a daily basis for them/us/me, but can be events only once in a while, weeks or months in between and the first one maybe only after many years.
The key is to not expect too much and not have yourself depressed when reading such things, but rather move it for yourself into the right light where it belongs. And remember, the tiny details I explained, like that it isn’t happening all the time or as shiny as it may sound. (some larpers excluded, of course, they would claim otherwise hehe)
