Depersonalization is a strange disorder in which the sufferer feels that they are living in a dream world; it is the feeling of watching oneself act, while having no control over a situation. It can be considered desirable, such as in the use of recreational drugs, but it usually refers to the severe form found in anxiety and, in the most intense cases, panic attacks. Often a person who has experienced depersonalization claims that life “feels like a movie” or things seem unreal or hazy. Also a recognition of self breaks down (hence the name). Depersonalization can result in very high anxiety levels, which further increases these perceptions – a snowball effect. One way to describe the physical manifestation of the feeling is to compare it to a film technique called the vertigo shot or dolly zoom. In this technique, the subject of the picture stays fixed within the shot while the surrounding background is pulled away, providing a sense of vertigo or detachment.

Thi is a horrible feeling. I was diagnosed with panic disorder at one time. It has since been changed to Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Major Depressive Disorder. Medication helps! Take it if you need. There's no reason to be miserable.

Phantom Car Crash

On December 11, 2002, two motorists called police to report seeing a car veering off the A3 trunk road with headlights blazing at Burpham in Surrey. A thorough search uncovered a car concealed in dense undergrowth and the long-dead driver nearby. It turned out that the crash had actually happened five months earlier when the driver, Christopher Chandler, had been reported missing by his brother.

Simultaneous dream 09-22-2010

The dream I had last night:
I saw Debbie (my best friend's sister who died from cancer) and a younger boy. There were no surroundings. Everything was black oyher than them. Debbie walked away from the kid. She smiled and then looked down like she was bashful. I heard Stephanie's (my bff) voice to my left saying, "She looks sad." I said, "No. She's happy." Debbie had full dark hair and a movie star smile. She had on a pink shirt. 

The dream Stephanie had last night:
"I dreamed about Debbie last night. She was with Ryland (Steohanie's 12 yr old nephew). She had on a purple shirt that said Relay on it. She wasn't talking. She walked away from Ryland and looked down at the ground. I said that she looked sad. Someone next to me said no, she's happy. Then Debbie looked up and smiled at me. I told the person next to me I was glad she was here because Debbie wouldn't have come to me. She had thick curly dark hair and her smile was so beautiful. Gracie (her Great Neice) was there, too. We were going on an outing, like tubing or something."
