^I've had similar experiences on dissociatives that I've concluded were delusions. I explained it to myself as having figuring out a world whose scope and possibilities had been profoundly whittled down or fogged over by the effects of the dissociative, and then mistaking that whittled down world for the far more complex one I inhabit during sobriety. It's also easier for me to believe that the dissociative impacted my ability to properly apply my fact checking faculties while maintaining or enhancing, perhaps even artificial activating, my sense of epiphany without regard to the solving of any real puzzle--than it is for me to believe I figured out how it all works (similar to the way no coherent narrative is required for me to believe certain facts and states of affairs during dreams, yet I nevertheless uncritically accept them.) That's not to say I haven't had real insights from psychedelics that bear out in the more internally consistent realities I encounter though, they're just usually a bit more modest.
The most important revelations I've had resulting from drug use have been psychological and have come from dispassionately analyzing experiences after the fact and working them honestly and coherently into the system of judgments that's accumulated from this practice of sober reflection in the past.
