estados de enrarecimiento

Spanish to English Art/Literary Idioms / Maxims / Sayings
This is from a fictionalized text about an Argentine woman sculptor who led an extravagant life>

En sus memorias, María deja entrever que sus estados de enrarecimiento sucedían especialmente hacia la madrugada. En la mayoría de los casos alude a ellos por elipsis. Quizás por eso boceteaba, muy entrada la noche, lo que tenía adentro y buscaba otras formas decir. “Yo quisiera esculpir tragando formas”.

strange states does not seem...strange enough...Rarefied seems so... stuffy
Any ideas?

Tomasso May 28, 2023:
strange moments of illogical sensorial captivity captivity to illogical sensorial thinking, los lapsos de imagenes mentales ilogicas, saboreando colores, sin control sobre imagenes mentales, diciendo cosas incorrectamente y siendo severamente reprendido, aun cuando una persona sabe que es ilogico, esto es solo un sueno y puedo parar esto en cualquier momento, sentimiento de no estar en control y forzado a pensar y razonar en formas que uno no quiere, siendo ridiculizado y discutiendo mentalmente contra un oponente invisible, a veces alucinacion fisica de animales o personas invisibles.

State of alienation/dissociation

In her memoirs, Maria lets it be known that her states of alienation/dissociation occurred especially in the early hours of the morning. In most cases she alludes to them by ellipsis. Perhaps that is why, late at night, she sketched out what was inside her and looked for other ways to say. "I would like to sculpt by swallowing forms".
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : This certainly fits the context, but I think you need references.

To me it's just Freudian/Jungian psychology, or similar. No need to look beyond the type of phraseology these types of people use.

captive episodes of sensorial distortion

In her memoirs, Maria lets us glimpse that her captive states of sensorial confusion occurred especially in the early morning. In most cases she alludes to them ellipticaly (in a round about way).. Perhaps that is why she sketched what was inside her late at night, and tried such expressions as "I would like to sculpt by swallowing forms".

wiki english Misophonia (opinion altered state may involve many things, Intrusive memory, intrusive somatic membory, intrusive voice, intrusive EMOTIONS of strangness, helplessness etc. Lembracinha da manha, left early morining intrusive memory, hypnogogic images, Creative people may or may not suffer fron rapid cycle manic depressive, sensory overload, intursive picture that keep people awake, racing thoughts)
Main article: Misophonia
Misophonia is a neurological disorder in which negative experiences (anger, fright, hatred, disgust) are triggered by specific sounds. Cytowic suggests that misophonia is related to, or perhaps a variety of, synesthesia.[1] Edelstein and her colleagues have compared misophonia to synesthesia in terms of connectivity between different brain regions as well as specific symptoms.[1] They formed the hypothesis that "a pathological distortion of connections between the auditory cortex and limbic structures could cause a form of sound-emotion synesthesia."[29] Studies suggest that individuals with misophonia have a normal hearing sensitivity level but the limbic system and autonomic nervous system are constantly in a "heightened state of arousal" where abnormal reactions to sounds will be more prevalent.[30]

Newer studies suggest that depending on its severity, misophonia could be associated with lower cognitive control when individuals are exposed to certain associations and triggers.[31

dice alli....Psychose und Selbstbeobachtung als deren Heilungsversuch
Fasst man die Depersonalisierung als ein dynamisches Geschehen auf, wird ihr Abwehrcharakter deutlich, in dessen Natur es liegt, schwer greifbar zu sein. Wie funktioniert nun die Abwehr in der Depersonalisierung, welche Aufgabe hat das Ich zu leisten und welche Einschränkungen muß es sich gefallen lassen?

Spanish term (edited): estado/s de enrarecimiento

state/s of rarefied (heightened) consciousness

Perhaps the question could have been framed as psychology (to keep non-psychologists off this topic) or even religious: Buddhist / Lamaistic - talking of which Himalayan connection, I don't think 'rarefied' looks 'stuffy' on the 70th anniversary of the first recorded ascent of Mount Everest : if so, switch to heightened vs. (medicinally) altered states...
Example sentence:

But between these ultimate states of rarefied consciousness there remain … states of awareness of consciousness that has no object: no-thing-ness

Trying to isolate this hypothetical rarefied conscious event
