Meditation puts you into the alpha sleep stage, so a side benefit is that you require less sleep and usually wake up feeling refreshed.

For the questions on that experience I had, the thing that you have to remember with meditation is that you're not doing it for things to "happen". You're doing it to slow everything down and stop things happening. Now, paradoxically this can sometimes cause these types of things to happen, but if you set out with the goal of having these expereinces then you most probably won't arrive at them.

Alobar, yogi's have stories of becoming animals and seeing the world through their eyes etc. Read "Autobiography of a Yogi" for a good understanding of this stuff.
