I just had a strange experience?

Question

I was in my bedroom just taking photo's of things because i was bored and i was trying to figure things out on my camera, after i had about finished taking pictures, i felt like i had woke up from a dream or something. I felt like i had been dead? or just watching myself in the dream. When i 'woke up' i was like who was that in my dream? even though it was me the entire time. and i looked in the mirror and i was like wait that was me, and i just felt like 'who am i' and like why i saw 'that persons' life even though it was mine.

do you know what just happened to me or why it occurred or anything?

Answer 1

ugh if you had your camera in your hand you were just taking pictures and outta know were oyu had weird thoughts.....:] dw

Answer 2

I've had that experience too. Not while taking pictures, though (lol) but just doing something else random like just sitting and watching tv. It's like a very overwhelming feeling, something you've never felt before in your entire life. Yeah, it was scary for me cuz I was just simply watching tv and BOOM! that "who am i" feeling came across. I can't explain exactly what it is but it could be something so simple like an imbalance in our bodies or something.

Hit by reality (?)

Maybe you were really into your camera and forgot about everything else, once you remembered it was like "whoa! I really do exist!"

I don't know if there's a word for it. Maybe somewhere along the line of dissociation--or derealization/depersonalization.

If you were really freaking out or something, you should look up anxiety attacks.

yeah my dad always tells me a story of a similar thing that happend to him where he claims to have woken up and had no idea how old he was what year it was or where he was but the whole time knowing who he was. Im not sure if your thing is the same though but yeah its an odd one
