Lucent, thanks for sharing these personal experiences with us.
I understand to some extent where you are coming from. I shared an experience I had, which is on this thread:
http://atheistforums.org/thread-8077.html
I must admit, that since sharing my 'experience', I have become far more skeptical about it. The guys here, for all their 'sharp' words at times, did make me re-evaluate what I thought I had experienced. I'm open to it having been 'in the mind', although I'm still not sure.
When I read about your 'landscape' experience, I'm straightaway thinking that you did have some kind of hallucination, due to you admitting you have had them before. I would be very interested in hearing the rest of your story. Please pm me if you have the time. I'm a reluctant Christian at best, but some days I'm veering to atheism- but not quite. The one thing I don't seem to ever lose, is hope - hope that there is more to this life, that love (in us) does live on. Glad you've joined the forum and thanks again for sharing this very interesting personal experience.
