how does 'coming to' feel for you?

I have never quite realized until recently, but for me in particular it is very smooth, almost like a 'handoff' whereas i 'come to' and have varying information about what the one before me was up to beforehand. usually the most important details.

i think this is why many of us go without realizing for so long, its so 'smooth' yet still has a certain 'pop' to it.

almost as if stepping out of a dream, yet stepping back into the same dream just much more lucid and aware.

how does it feel for you?

For me, when I am aware that I have just lost time, it is like waking up from sleep, only I did not remember going to sleep and it happened in the middle of the day and outside my home. There is discontinuity. Time has suddenly jumped forward, the scene around me has changed, etc., and whatever happened while I was gone is all a mystery to me. At least at first.

For me it feels like im literally waking up from a coma...there is a feeling of being ''down under'' and slowly starting to notice the environment again...it feels as if i show up straight from the ground, everything muffled at first. There is also this feeling of....lack of time, like i have no idea of time or it doesn't exist. Most often this is also accompanied by an unsafe, vulnerable feeling.

The most jarring are when it feels like nothing at all. Just someone cut out a scene in my personal movie. I'm at home in the morning drinking tea then, the next second, I'm at work and it's 10am, then - snip-snip - I'm driving home in the dark. Where did the time go and where was I when it was going there? Luckily those don't happen much anymore. They can be pretty disturbing.
