Cognitive disconnection: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

'''Cognitive disconnection''' can be described as 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 [[depersonalisation]], [[derealisation]], [[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 reality is a film or a dream

*Feeling as though the world beyond one's immediate external environment is simply non-existent

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

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

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

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

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

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]].
