I had feelings that I was in a dream when I was a teenager when I would go into a mall.
When I was 35, my husband and I had just received a large commission (we are both sculptors) and were discussing the job at a restaurant.
During the discussion I suddenly felt that I was evesdropping on our conversation and thinking "these people are sculptors" it was almost like there were two parts of me - the part that was speaking and the other part listening, but two entirely different people - it was strange. Later I started to feel out of control and worried that I might do something crazy. But nothing happened. I concentrated on a bunch of grapes that decorated the restaurant and after a while the sensation passed.
The feeling is always brought about by my husbands voice (he hates that, but it's true)- sometimes I don't recognize where we are when we're in the car- familiar territory looks new to me. Sometimes I have felt that I am actually far away watching things as through a remote camera. Sometimes I feel like I am waking up inside someone and else and think "Is this where I belong" I have felt that I was like water floating formless above myself.
The worst was the feeling that nothing existed. Not just me, but that nothing existed. It was a weird feeling. Coming back is always a wrench. Where I go usually seems quiet and peaceful. Except when it seemed nothing existed. That was scary. The sensations are short lasting one or two minutes.

please tell me what do uou mean by saying remote camera?
Irin, I don't want to offend you but I really do want to recommend to stop going into posts and trying to find every negative thing to relate to. The more you read and the more you over analyze someone else's situation the more symptoms you can bring upon yourself. I have done this before and I was not in any state to understand what someone else is going through - it only made my condition worse. So please do me a favor and give your brain a break.

This is a necro thread from 2005, very unlikely you'll get a reply.
