It's nothing like that. Your memory is wiped out, you don't know who you are, you don't know when you are. It's like you're in an alien world, nothing looks familiar. Your ears are kind of buzzing and ringing, your visual field is fucked up, etc. The last layers of your neural network aren't turned on yet. It's pretty weird.
- p_noumenon 5y ago...sounds exactly like waking up from a dream.
- BoiledCabbage 5y agoI think the more interesting point seems to be that the way you appear to wake from dreams is very different from 99.9% of people. For most people, waking from a dream is absolutely nothing like that.
- dekhn 5y agoNope. I've also experienced this (just sort of fell to the floor unconscious and then woke up 10 seconds later). It was like my brain was slowly paging in bits of memory that had been stored out to tape. Like, who I am. Where I am. Why I am there?. When I wake up from most dreams, I have a bit of trouble remembering what's true and what's dream, but I know where I am, who I am, and why I'm there.
- LocalH 5y agoDo you regularly wake up extremely groggy and drained? That usually only happens to me if I am awoken mid-REM cycle. Perhaps that's worth investigating for you?
