Yes! Sometimes something will happen that just doesnt seem right or logical for the current situation, and almost subtley 'dreamlike'. And then every now and again I lose time. I swear I was watching tv for 5 minutes and the time on the tv said I had been watching for 20mins. Its probs just me, but it does make me think sometimes.

But then, if things around us aren't real, what is real?

maybe it was a boring tv show and you fall sleep easily, or you phase out ... sounds weird my friend had something like that he would be in his own world all of a sudden and then after a few seconds return, not knowing that he had gone through it...i think its got a specific name...but i forgot =(

i often feel like im watching my life from a different angle, not that im not there but that its not real - like how you feel when youre dreaming

- there is a thing about phasing out, where you sleep for 5 seconds while conscious, taking yourself away from the situation and allowing your mind to recover if thats what you meant?

no its nothing to do with emotion the feelings are same as usual. What I meant by comfy is that I physically feel ok and as normal but its just like I may be imagining the experience rather than it being real. Some days im fully aware and other days I can feel like the above.

are the experiences that you think you are imagining...usually dull/uneventful ones by any chance?

Maybe, but it can happen anywhere, anytime with any feelings. Its one of them things that you don't notice because you are either talking or have something to occupy you, but if I arn't really doing much or thinking anything then I realise that its as though Im imagining the experience rather than being fully alert.

i think your basically saying be that you only think that 'it did not exist' now as you think about it, because you have a vague/disjointed memory of what happened on a specific occasion? so you think...did that really happen...or was it a dream? because your recollection is in pieces...i heard your long term memory is stored as you sleep, so maybe if this is a reoccuring thing for you; you have bad sleeping habits?...or disturbed sleep...

[or if it was exceptionally dull....then you might be wasting your life on the tv or computer, accomplishing very little and now asking yourself, wtf the weekends gone already? ]

i think i feel the same way the op does, like nothing is properly real, and obviously doesnt quite work how it is, but the fact that you know this doesnt really affect how you approach the world at all, so u just carry on as normal bcz it doesnt matter

hm, I get what you mean, your right about the last bit Ive wasted all my evenings on the pc come to think of it :p:

I don't think its anything to do with memories probably just blood pressure or feeling more run down than usual.. I don't know maybe your right.

of course :0)

actually, now that you mention it, i have occasionally felt a bit similar (i think) quite confusing: not sure if im a sleep or not, whether things actually happened... or at least, remember having that feeling...probbly a dream within a dream >__<
