#'''Total detachment from environment''' - At this level, the sensory and cognitive disconnection have completely blocked out one's perception of the external environment. It is here where the person finds themselves undergoing an out-of-body experience as they enter a [[Visual_disconnection#Holes.2C_spaces_and_voids|dissociative hole]] which is often accompanied by [[internal hallucinations]]. | #'''Total detachment from environment''' - At this level, the sensory and cognitive disconnection have completely blocked out one's perception of the external environment.

#'''Detachment from self''' - At the highest level, the dissociation and detachment has become intense enough for a person's long-term memory to cease functioning. This leads into a state which is commonly referred to as "[[ego death]]" as the person loses their ability to recall and comprehend their own sense of identity. | #'''Detachment from self''' - At the highest level, the dissociation and detachment has become intense enough for a person's long-term memory to cease functioning.

#'''Detachment from awareness''' - The highest level of detachment occurs when a person loses all sensory awareness and normal cognitive functioning. This renders the person unconscious and consistently leaves extended gaps in a person's memory with large periods of [[Amnesia|amnesia]] which are generally impossible to recall once the experience is over. It's at this level that [[dissociative|dissociatives]] such as [[ketamine]] are used in medical procedures for their anesthetic effects.<ref>Top-down mechanisms of anesthetic-induced unconsciousness | #'''Detachment from awareness''' - The highest level of detachment occurs when a person loses all sensory awareness and normal cognitive functioning.
