Geek or nerd?

Nerd, walking encyclopedia, bookworm, Einstein (in a sarcastic tone), and crazy are the things I recall being discussed about me.🤷🏼‍♀️

Oh! Now I remember being called a "walking encyclopedia" when I was still in elementary school! My hobby was reading my World Book Encyclopedia volumes. One entry would lead to another and then another, then another. Etc. It was like the entries were "drawing me in" and I could spend entire days reading them. Rather than go outside and play with other kids, I preferred being in my brother's and my bedroom reading about various subjects. I remember correcting the 5th and 6th grade elementary teachers and even in college when they were incorrect about something. This was well before the words, "nerd" and "geek" were coined.
 
Reading the set of Encyclopedias was something I did by the age of twelve.
Always had an insatiable need for knowledge.
I would consider your need for meditation on the nerd side because of the knowledge interest. It isn't something like gaming.

I also found the need for daily meditation by the time I was 30.
It was a natural way to sooth my anxiety and became a daily habit that doesn't feel right without. There are several different varieties that I call meditation.

As far as accessing the multiverse, astral travel through dream time is the best for me.
I didn't study to achieve it and couldn't teach someone else how to do it. It has just been a natural part of my consciousness since age puberty.
