I black out very often when doing something repetitive when I used to drive during my commute I often blacked out for the entire commute and wake up after parking (The first time was quite scary). It also happens when cooking, running, walking, anything that doesn't require to think about something new if it's something I have already done in the past I can do it without thinking at all.
- Reedx 7y agoI assume you don't mean black out literally... Otherwise what you're describing is Automaticity: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automaticity https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automaticity
- maury91 7y agoYes not literal black out, more like a time black out. Usually I'm thinking about something, and by the time I finish thinking about that particular subject more time than expected has passed (usually it feels like one minute), and I don't remember driving or walking
- joncrane 7y ago"Black out" is always shorthand for "not recording memories." It's not necessarily dangerous, it just means the mind is not recording events to long term storage.
