I had dp about 4/5 years ago and recovered from it then. It was gradual, not like I woke up one day and felt amazing all of a sudden. Just little by little things felt better, until eventually I forgot about it and lived my life happily. Probably took me about 6 months to recover then. When I recovered I didn't forget the fact that I experienced dp, but I forgot what it felt like to have it.
So I suppose compared to the dead feeling of dp, recovery makes you feel like a whole new person, and I guess that could be like "waking from the dead." But if you're talking about the actual prpcess of coming out of it, it is more of a gradual process (or at least it was for me).
