Finding one's selves

I've had a few experiences where I've been lead to believe that myself, and many others I met in a spiritual journey are of one being, collectively a god-form. All these people were in my head, and in front of them was a man dressed in buddha rhobes. He was the only one I could make out from the crowd, but through thoughts he told me that he and his fellows were divine. Another experience not too far after, he explained to me that we were the same. Those people were just as much "me" as I am, and I just as much them as they are "they", and this being "realized" not far after a feeling of divinity within myself.

It was a striking experience that I concluded meant I was divine, made up of smaller pieces (whether directly in my mind, or I was mearly a smaller piece of a collective divine I'm not sure), and reached from multiple angles of perception with no intention of finding said conclusion. I'm wondering how many shamanic stories of similar experiences there are or if this is not so much shamanic as buddhist or some other belief structure.
