You could try getting on a boat, falling asleep, and waiting until the middle of the night to be woken.

If it is calm, and there is no moon, you can be 1000 miles from land and your senses tell you you're bobbing around in a little pond - because there's nothing "out there" and no indication you're offshore. It's an AMAZING sensation. And you'll see, literally, millions of stars.
