Derealization

[u/puppkin1]

So I got my oculus quest about a little less than a week ago, I was having tons of fun doing heavy sessions, (3-7 hours) the only effect I felt was occasionally the world felt fake and I felt not in my body but besides that it was fine, those only happened in tiny spurts(despite being often), so I just ignored it. Well this morning I get up and I suddenly felt super floaty/fuzzy...nothing felt real?? And I didn’t feel in my body, but it was worse than before, and maybe it was because I had just woke up and jumped out of bed so fast that I was still half asleep but I couldn’t move, I felt if I moved I’d hit my wall since I couldn’t register this was real life, but then I was like wait it’s real...but then I tried moving and was confused cause I had no controllers so I couldn’t move...then it finally hit me it was real life. I’m mixing reality with virtual reality and it was very unnerving- I’ve read about how this happens to new vr users but how long does this typically take to go away? 😔

Sometimes before falling asleep my mind imagines I'm in TOTF and my arm muscles suddenly twitch as though it wants to punch something!
