Summary
AI-generated from the abstractPeople undergoing near-death, psychedelic, or mystical experiences often report encountering a reality that feels more real than ordinary reality—a hyperreality. This article uses philosophical phenomenology and theories of sense of reality to analyze such accounts. It critiques and extends Martin Fortier's plural taxonomy of sense of reality, proposing a triadic model of reality experience. According to this model, one dimension is merely heightened reality, while the other two are either self-evident immersion in reality or the irruptive suspension of ordinary experience.

Abstract
This article analyzes the experience of heightened reality, whereby subjects feel or think that what they are facing is reality itself, or somehow a ‘more real reality’, a hyperreality. My main examples for this specific kind of metacognitive supervision are from reports about the near-death experience, the psychedelic experience and the mystical experience. I will interpret accounts of such experiences using first of all philosophical phenomenology and theories of sense of reality. I criticize and try to complement Martin Fortier’s model of the plural taxonomy of sense of reality. In addition, I propose a triadic model of the experience of reality and, based on the analysis of the testimonies of heightened reality, I have developed a triadic model, according to which one dimension of reality experience is merely heightened reality, the other two being self-evident immersion in reality and the irruptive suspension of ordinary experience.Straipsnyje analizuojama aukštesnės realybės patyrimas, kuomet subjektai jaučia ar galvoja, kad kaip tik tai, su kuo jie susiduria, ir yra pati realybė, kad šioji yra „tikresnė tikrovė“, hiperrealybė. Pagrindiniai nagrinėjami šios savotiškos metakognityvinės supervizijos pavyzdžiai yra priešmirtinio, psichodelinio ir mistinio patyrimo liudijimai. Juos interpretuoju remdamasis visų pirma filosofine fenomenologija ir realybės pojūčio teorijomis. Aš kritiškai analizuoju ir siekiu papildyti Martino Fortier modelį bei jo realybės pojūčio taksonomiją. Siūlau triadinį realybės patyrimo modelį ir, remdamasis aukštesnės realybės patyrimo liudijimais, teigiu, kad viena realybės patyrimo dimensijų yra tiesiog aukštesnioji realybė, o kitos dvi – tai arba akivaizdus panirimas į realybę, arba veržlus kasdienio patyrimo suspendavimas
