Hum, well I guess I am the odd man out here. Although I am trying for something more than most people when I meditate. So, not sure what relevance this post has to GreenChase's question, but it might be useful to tossed it up.
When I meditate for long periods, up to 3 hours, there is often a point where the meditation goes so deep that people watching me say I stop breathing for a short time. During those times I progress into different forms of stillness. At the apex of meditation, I am past the point where thoughts enter my mind and I have no conception of a physical body. During this time I am aware of a great stillness around me, and while no visions appear during my comparatively short visit, I do have a notion that they would.
While I do think that VD's description of disconnected mind body is right, there are times when it is useful. In my case I think that energy leaves rather than becomes disconnected.

--------------------
Cosmic consciousness is devoid of diversity; yet the universe of diversity exists in notion....
We contemplate that reality in which everything exists, to which everything belongs,
from which everything has emerged, which is the cause of everything and which is everything....
The light of [this] self-knowledge alone illumines all experiences. It shines by its own light.
This inner light appears to be outside and to illumine external objects.
