That's fair enough. It's probably quite a personal matter.
The reason I started the thread was because it would be far more convincing if everyone had the same experience if there is only one god. But I don't expect this to be the case. My hypothesis is that most theists are actively training their brains to enable the kind of dream like states that normally occur during sleep to happen while they are awake. This is why prayer and meditation is a big part of many religions. If correct then we would expect people to have experiences which are taken consistent with their culture and their daily environment, such as the religious imagery they are immersed in and the accents they regularly hear.
