From the outside I probably look like I'm not moving, just looking in front of me. Sometimes it appeared as I was falling asleep too (which was probably induced by hypnagogia), and now that I actively tried to unfold its meaning, I can actually "come back" and it won't take me away as an episode of trans.
I'm safe, I'm in therapy for a while now, I've been evaluated, I probably don't have an organic issue, these are not hallucinations, or DID or schiczophrenia. My doctor called it a depersonalization/dissociative trans, and my therapist referred to it as a waking dream. Both of them (and me too) see it more like a message from my unconscious, because I think if I can't face something, it first appears to me as a dream, and if I can't acknowledge a dream, this might happen. Almost like my unconscious just takes over, and shows me symbolic scenes and pictures, like a movie.
What I was wondering about, even if this might be a big stretch, could there be a connection to Ni? Have any of you Ni dominants or Ni creative guys experienced anything similar? Or anyone else?
