Yup, I've had similar experiences before. About a year ago, me and some mates were having a jam in my friends caravan, there was 4 of us jamming, and another 4 or 5 sitting in and listening. After about half an hour, mojo's on fire, the music built up to one hell of a climax, then bang, every one stopped at exactly the same time (me and my friends now call this a "musical silence"). After a bar or two of absolute silence we carried on with the song, but this time, all the people who had been listening started rhythmically hitting the walls, and using random objects as drums. this led to an even bigger climax, and then a second musical silence, during which, I totally spaced out, the whole room disappeared. When the silence ended and we started up again, I played the fattest solo I ever have, I didn't even know what I was playing, heck, I didn't even know I was there. I wasn't the only one there who got hit by the music with a sack of bricks, just about everyone was, in fact, it inspired a couple of the non-musicians to start drumming (african drums, not kits).
