From time to time I experience the world around me like a movie or a lucid dream. Such experiences do not last longer than a few seconds, by which time I become fully aware of them and they evaporate. As of late, perhaps for the last six months or so, I have been catching myself in this detached state of mind more often than ever earlier. Although this varies from week to week, experiences like these now occur about once a day. The last few months they also happen as I am listening to someone who is talking to me, or even as I am talking to someone who is looking straight into my eyes. This usually happens when the conversation is easy and I am not fully engaged in it. So far, I am not concerned about any of this. In fact, the growing detachment is rather pleasurable, and I thus look forward to its further development. I wonder where will it take me, though. Will my entire life eventually become like a movie or a dream? Or will the number of such experiences peak at some comfortable level?
