'''~~Disconnection from consciousness~~''' ~~can be defined at lower to moderate doses~~ as ~~only partial in its effects~~. ~~This creates~~ a ~~number~~ of changes in a person's ~~internal thought processes and~~ perception of their own consciousness ~~which generally includes~~:

'''Cognitive disconnection''' is the experience of feeling distant and detached from one's sense of identity, thought stream, and general cognitive processes. This leads into states such as [[depersonalization]], [[derealization]], [[memory suppression]], "[[ego death]]" and a general array of [[cognitive suppressions]]. The experience of this can also create a wide range of subjective changes to a person's perception of their own consciousness. These are described and documented in the list below:

*Feeling as though ~~reality has become~~ distant and vague

*Feeling as though one's conscious thought stream and memories are not one's own

*Feeling as ~~though reality is a film~~ or ~~a dream which plays out in front of you~~

*Feeling as if one's conscious thought processes are distant and vague

*Feeling ~~as though the world beyond your immediate external environment is simply non-existent~~

*Feeling as if one's conscious thought processes have become autonomous and mechanical in their structure or behaviour

*A dosage proportional decrease in the overall speed, connectivity and analytical abilities of ~~the conscious thought stream~~

*Feeling a decrease in the overall speed, connectivity, and analytical abilities of one's cognitive abilities

*Feeling as though your conscious thought stream is not your own, allowing it to be analysed from an unbiased third person perspective

~~At higher dosages, the~~ disconnection ~~from consciousness eventually makes the transition from partial to all-encompassing~~. This results in the ~~complete failure of a person's~~ conscious ~~thought stream, sense of self and long term memory~~. It ~~can be experientially described as~~ a ~~state that is functionally identical to psychedelic-induced~~ [[~~Cognitive effects: Ego suppression, loss and death~~|~~ego death~~]] ~~and the feeling that there is no longer an "I" experiencing the trip; there is just the experience~~, as ~~it is~~ and ~~by itself~~.

Cognitive disconnection is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[visual disconnection]] and [[tactile disconnection]]. This results in the sensation that one is partially or completely detaching from both their sensory input and their conscious faculties. It is a near universal effect under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[dissociative]] compounds, such as [[ketamine]], [[PCP]], and [[DXM]].
