But isnt that what they meant by getting "high"?

I'm pretty sure it wasn't "Aim high, smoke crack"...

SD really does suck though. When I did my instrument, just for giggles, my instructor "failed" all my instruments with me under the hood, and had me make standard rate level turns just by feel. Ended up in one of them REALLY super unusual attitudes. Didn't serve any true purpose, except how important it is to focus on your instruments when you're in the soup, cuz doing it by feel will get you in trouble 100% of the time.

Can't say I've ever had an out of body experience though.

^What was the unusualy attitude position?  Was it one of the famed inverted search patterns that I have heard so much about?

Something just short of a spin. You haven't lived until you've done a spin under the hood.

With a safety pilot/CFI in the other seat, of course  ;D And not in a CAP aircraft
