I feel exactly the same. I'm lulling through the world. I don't feel like my words or actions have an impact in the physical world, and everything melds into one indiscernable mass. I would not be surprised if I woke up in a room somewhere, with my mother leaning over me whispering "don't worry, it was only a dream."

>>35670015
really? oh shit


>>35670131
yup, you've pinpointed how i feel. just like floating in space. normally i'm fine and i only feel like it for a few hours but now it's really bad.

I do sometimes wonder if I'm losing my mind. But to be honest, many of my friends feel this way too. As if there has been some slight change in the fabric of reality recently.

To me it's simply that things just are so crazy in my life, and I don't have dreams, so it's like i'm dreaming all the time, only that I have the acute feeling that I, won't wake up...

pseudoscience undergraduate reporting, feelings/sensations of derealization or depersonalization are not a solid indicator of schizophrenia or other schizoid/schizo-affective things

happens to me every now and again; used to happen much worse when my general mental state was much poorer. it isn't so very concerning anymore desu

Responding to my own post here but some weird shit happened. I kept on feeling more dreamlike, like nothing was making sense, so i meditated to this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UfcAVejslrU


I then saw an "eye" on the inside of my eyelids. there was a black space around it and the pupil was a slightly lighter black space. then i concentrated on it and a kind of "dream bubble" happened on to my head and i retreated in that and i felt like i was one with the universe. I don't know if i'm going crazy or I am having a spiritual experience by opening my third eye but it's weird and slightly enjoyable at the same time.

is what is happening to me depersonalization?

>>35669505
You're going through dream enlightenment.

A lot of people try to achieve your state. From a secret forum I visit, anyway.

Relax. Start controlling the environment with your thoughts.

Oh, and life also feels dreamlike to me. Now when I feel pain, I feel "pain" but the thought of pain is what makes me avoid it, I avoid thoughts of pain and poof no pain.

There's a glass wall between me and the world. There's "me" somewhere behind the screen, and that me is my thoughts which I believe control the world.

well, I achieved this through meditation.

If you don't like this state, meditate "into" your body. Focus on it. Focus on the concept of "solidity."

I meditated outside of mine, and meditated on fluidity.

I'm probably dissociated and delusional. But mate, relax. Just remember the most 'solid' thing in your life history and cling to it. Friends, emotions, those things

>>35670707
it would probably be termed "de-realization"

depersonalization is specifically when one has feelings that they themselves are not real, but reality is still present. put in other words, its almost like losing track of who you are

derealization has more to do with reality itself; things simply don't feel real to someone. personal identity is more or less intact but you might sorta feel like you're "in the matrix" or similar

of course no rule saying you can't have a temporarily-fucked up noggin with both things at play. i tend not to put much stock in clinical definitions or diagnosis personally, and try to emphasize mitigating/removing specific symptoms of mental aberration or "illness"

you know what is really amazing?

that most people seldom remember their dreams in any detail, yet a person can say "things are dreamlike" and we sort of know what feeling he means, although the actual experience of dreaming is still something very different from this feeling, with only a hint of it

how come so many things are fake in this reality, including the minds own perception of its state

>>35671011
agree, although important to note that such things are relatively ineffable; they can't be fully or properly described with words alone

to properly compare between two individuals, much less large populations, we'll need to develop a sort of..consciousness-viewer. to put it in layman sperg's terms, we need a first-person spectator mode first.

>>35670945
alright. thanks for the help.

>>35669505
I guess I feel the same, though I usually attribute it to desensitization/depression/general mental unwellness
