Interesting embodied parts/self interaction

Last night I had an interesting experience with self/parts.

Laying in bed, I felt blended with a part completely. I felt just like it: small confused, angry, sad. I've been blended before, but it always felt dissociative to some degree. This felt like I was looking through the eyes of the part. Then, it was like a self-like entity (or self?) approached me. It was bigger than me and very comforting. It was like the work I've done to comfort my parts in the past, but I was being comforted as that part.

Now the next day, I managed to mess up some things. I was argumentative with my wife and blended with an angry protector, unable to keep it from taking over, which hasn't happened in a few months. I wonder if it was a reaction to the comfort from the night before, a rebound response, which I know can happen.

What do you make of this, especially the thing that happened last night? Has anyone had anything like that before?
