What is the general consensus to what enlightenment feels like?

It’s very confusing to try and pinpoint due to varying opinions. I have experienced what I would personally consider to be bouts of “enlightenment” however this later ceased. There was an instance where lights started to standout more in a difficult to describe way basically like I noticed this hue around it and was aware of its significance. Another one was where during meditation it’s like my brain zoomed in and one of those water wheels started spinning and it was like it was previously dormant. Also another which was the most profound and was a very strong sensation and lasted several days. During this time simple tasks felt so deeply meaningful. Like getting water from the facet felt like a waterfall for some reason and other simple tasks just felt blissfully meaningful. The reason I mention that it ceased pretty quickly is because I’ve seen enlightenment described as attaining an awakening where there’s no ability to go back however this didn’t happen. Basically after that point I figured it was something you maintain because it genuinely felt like I achieved something deeper for those short periods. I had some health issues that significantly impacted my quality of life since then and I really have not been in a more low and poisoned state and this is after these event occurred a few years ago. I’m actually kind of saddened because I feel like simply because of damage to various systems in my brain my quality of life is so poor I am unable to even be in or maintain this state again. So mainly I’m wondering what these feels like in general. What I was experiencing in these periods could have been completely different to a deeper awakening or also could have not been the pinnacle of what that means. So generally what is this described as feeling like? I have not delved deep into Buddhism other than researching the events that occurred in the buddhas life and basic lessons he taught a lot of which was when these things occurred. I am not embarrassed to ask this question or mention my experiences.
