I was sitting in a movie theatre the other day, and then suddenly i started thinking about where i was and what i was doing. And it just seemed as if i've been living in a dream. Ever since then life has been more like a dream to me and more fake, just totally unreal. And i've been totally drug free for quite some time. Does anyone ever get this feeling?
~Well i have. I think everyone, at one point or another, questions their existence. The thought of the world and the universe and all is just so unbelievable/overwhelming... But i do think that if you continue to feel as disorientated and disconnected as it seems that you have been, to seek some help. Who knows, you may be Schizophrenic, because how your feeling is a symptom if you go on feeling the same way for an extended period of time... Another story of disillusionment: After i went on this like 12 hour spree of playing regular and super nintendo, (and yes, i am totally 'oldschool' when it comes to my video games) i felt like i was in a video game... So i guess if you get tired of feeling like a dream you could go on a mad video game spree and then see if you feel like you live in a video game? (hope that made you smile a little; that was my intent...) Goodluck! I hope that you wake up soon...
I have felt like that---when I get to feel like that with out drugs, I take it as a blessing and Thank God! I live and long for that felling-enjoy it.
i think if you did some searches on lucid dreaming, the ethereal state and astral plane projection - etc - you might trip out on it a bit more... i am aware of it occassionally..but i would like to invest some time in permanently feeling it... "life is but a dream"
Since this past summer I've been living with this feeling, I've barely done any drugs at all. Sometimes everything in my life feels really easy and natural, other times it's like I just faded out of existence and am watching the entire world in front of me as a movie, and other times I get the dream feeling really bad, or good depends how you view it. Usually the more I think about it the stronger it is, but it's always present. THe only time I don't feel it is when something extremely important is happening like life or death and your brain reverts to instincts, but that doesn't happen too often. Sorry this doesn't really help you at all.
I used to get that feeling every morning for about ten minutes after i woke up. I was just a kid then, and I thought it was reallly neat.
I Want that feeling NOW!! Better than sitting in the dark screaming, alone, screaming out "KILL ME" top your lungs in a manic depressive 'mixed episode' depressive bitch festival, holding the sole ticket to a reality never bought, only can't escape the Horror Show my life, I hate reality...
Maybe it is a dream? ...maybe what were living is a dream, and when we sleep is reality? Or its all a dream and sleeping is a more deeper dream? and when you dont dream, thats what is reality? Muahhahaaa
I remember having that very same feeling you described when i was about 7...i was in my brothers room looking at some random object and then it hit me...is this a dream? am i really here? why i am who i am? and looking at my hands and trying to understand i was me, but questioning why....what a fucked up childhood memory eh? lol.... i guess there comes a time when you realise this kind of thing...perhaps we become rational, who knows...
i get the feeling that theres more to existance all the time.. last time i was high, i was walking past a closed store, thinking "its right in front of our eyes, but we still dont see the bigger picture..." we need to take a step back and shift our ways of thinking... manditory marijuana consumption for all!
i happen to get a sort of spiritual awakening feeling on any type of drugs i take(even marijuana)in which its like i just look at the world in a much more simplified state of mind and come to the realization that the society that is created by the government is completly worthless and invaluable compared to the stuff already laid out for us on this earth such as nature,love,and the great bondage all human beings feel towards the active force of the universe at one point or another in there lifetime.
Derealization and depresonalization. Depersonalization is caused by a shift in the part of the brain that provides us with a 'real' awareness of our environment; this part of the brain is DIRECTLY linked to the Amygdala, the organ in the brain responsible for anxiety. Depersonalization can include feelings of being: unreal disembodied unattached dead puppet-like robot-like like a lifeless, two dimensional, 'cardboard' figure' a spectator Unlike depersonalization which effects the perception of oneself, derealization is a change in an individual's experience of their environment, where the world around him/her feels unreal and unfamiliar. Again, derealization, like depersonalization, is caused by a change in the way senses percieve our surroundings due to sensitized, anxious, nerve signals reaching the brain. Derealization is completely harmless but can be very disturbing. The more you give derealization credibility, the longer it stays with you. As anxiety levels are reduced, derealization disappears... FACT. Sufferers describe derealization as: spaciness like in a dream like looking through a veil a sensory fog, spaced-out in a goldfish bowl behind glass withdrawn flat dream-like Depersonalization and derealization are symptoms of an anxiety disorder and as such can be succesfully and permanently eliminated. By eliminating the underlying anxiety, depersonalization and derealization can not exist. ...I've done pre-research. Trust me I've had the same feelings... and still do sometimes. I think it's in the way certain people percieve and think about life. I've just been teaching myself to become more open to all possibilitys and with that I'm learning ways to cope and be happy even with the stress that amounts from that. I've realized that once you accept the 'what-ifs' and live what the what-is it becomes a lot easier to live in actual happiness. Just figure out what you'll love doing no matter anything other than your true feelings of joy and continue on with it. Stop, stopping to think about it all and just live. {By the way I have to ask what movie you were watchin' } How does that work. If it's regular there's no 'super'! Man I'm oldschool and I love it. I can't stand nothin' but the good old nintendo. The old beater gray one. I love that thing. Simple, but yet complex enough to be fun.
