I agree. I think almost everyone who has experienced DR/DP has been tormented by quasi-philosophical questions regarding the nature of reality, etc. I know I did. And it's not suprising really, considering that you are seeing the world in a different way. But the important thing to remember that, whatever the new age tree huggers might want you to believe, is that what you are experiencing is an illness, pure and simple. If you want to speculate about other possible realties and such and such, I strongly urge you to suspend these musings until you get better.
I differ from some people by thinking that the 'content' of our obsessions when we are suffering from DR/DP is irrelevant. It is the obsessional state itself that is the problem. I remember, during my DR/DP episodes, furiously trying to rationalise the curious thoughts about reality that I was having - and once I managed to convince myself one way or that other, and thinking that the obsession would go away, BANG, another flavour of obsession.
