Eggo, that sounds similar, but a little different. I can’t get up or the feeling goes away, and there’s no time dilation that I recall. Of course, it may just be a more intense experience of the same phenomenon.
So, we’ve got pathunt, Diceman, eggo, and Cessandra, besides myself, who’ve felt this feeling or something very similar. It sounds like it’s common enough for the makings of a psychology paper. We’ve even got a name for the experience: Litkey’s Bench Syndrome.
Perhaps it’s related to our suppressed alien abductions. Perhaps it correlates with genius. Perhaps a large federal grant could clear things up.
I have also had this happon to me. Generaly it happones when I am in bed, I don’t get the feeling that gravity has reversed but that it was some how changed. It seems to me that I am rocking Like in a boat in my bed. It might be the same prob.I don’t have to think about it for it to happon but if I Concentrate on it I can make it stop.
Please help me do I have Lit qui se Penche syndrome
Our inner ear has nerves that sense the level (pitch (tilt, not frequency), not fullness) of fluid to detect our orientation relative to gravity. Nerves in general also have a property that they tend to desensitize to continuous stimulus, like when we aren’t aware of the pressure on our buttocks while we sit. If you just sit still, can’t you literally “lose your sense of balance” by simply not providing changing stimulus to the nerves in your inner ear?
Similarly, if you stare blankly at a room and don’t move your eyes (not as impossible nor uncomfortable as it sounds), you can eventually get the room to disappear–your eyes cancel out everything but motion.
