That what’s going on is just a bit too surreal? I’m not talking about an extreme state of euphoria, when you’re so happy and you can’t believe it’s happening. More like, you’re in a place and you don’t know how you got there and you don’t know what you’re doing there. You know it’s happening because you’re conscious but there is a funny, lingering feeling that maybe it isn’t. You take a moment and you look around, you see the people you’re with and what you are doing, there is nothig out of the ordinary, but you feel that you can easily wake up and be back in bed at any moment.
This past month has been filled with these kind of instances. Not just this month though, some of the summer felt like that, and a large part of the past 4 months. It is hard to describe the feeling, so I really hope someone else has had it and I’m not going crazy. When I try to remember these different times it has the same kind of feeling you get when you wake up in the morning and you try to remember the dream you just had. You KNOW you remember it, but you just can’t get a hold of it.
I really don’t know what I’m trying to accomplish with this thread and it can go ignored, I just needed to put it out there.
Um…no. And frankly, that would scare the hell out of me, and I’d be in for a visit with the neurologist, the shrink and my dope dealer, probably in that order.
Haha. I’m physically fine and I’ve never had any mental issues. I don’t do drugs and I drink very little. And I didn’t mean that you just wake up in that kind of situation. They are never dangerous situations, just odd and different to things you usually do.
I don’t think teemingONE is talking about waking up from a black out and not knowing what the hell just happened. I think he/she is talking about maybe feeling out of whack with your surroundings. Like one day at work you are suddenly like “what the fuck am I doing here at this job and is this really my life?”
And you may find yourself living in a shotgun shack
And you may find yourself in another part of the world
And you may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile
And you may find yourself in a beautiful house, with a beautiful Wife
And you may ask yourself-well…how did I get here?
:smack: same as it ever was
:smack: same as it ever was

Yeah. I get that feeling every once and a while too.
I’ll admit it. It’s the third time on the boards I’ve pulled that little stunt. It’s amazing how often I’ve resisted quoting Mr. Byrne, but sometimes a post screams for it.
I get feelings sort of along those lines sometimes (though not lately). Mostly it seems to be some sort of time confusion, like I’m sitting in a place and all of a sudden I can’t fathom that I am in time and time is passing and moments are passing and everything is always moving. Looking at Lake Michigan does that to me sometimes, freaks me out that it’s always moving.
Hm, that doesn’t sound like what you were talking about, but it is a sudden feeling of confusion and weirdness, like you’re suddenly conscious of the air molecules around you. I’m not sure I ever thought I’d wake up and be in bed, though, just that existing in time and space freaks me out sometimes.
I swear I’m not mental (or at least only a little).
I feel the same way sometimes. I’ll be driving a completely familiar route and suddenly have no idea where I am or where I’m going. My fiance gets the same feeling sometimes.
Alma, I get that too, it’s like you get a glimpse of where you are in the universe and how everything around you is just… happening… this sounds like drug talk, doesn’t it? It’s so hard to explain unless you’ve felt it.
