<onlyinclude>'''Spatial disorientation''' can be described as one's inability to orient themselves in 3-dimensional space. In this state, a person can not distinguish up from down, right from left, front from behind or any combination of these. One might also perceive the world as being flipped sideways or even upsidedown. This effect is also applicable to the sense time, as well as to one's sense of their own body, on lower and higher dosages of a drug, respectively. Disoriented people are unable to assess the current situation and are typically unable to give reliable information. This effect is relatively uncommon and happens mostly on [[dissociatives]].</onlyinclude>

One might also perceive the world as being flipped sideways or even upsidedown. This effect is relatively uncommon and happens mostly on [[hallucinogen]]ics. It is also worth noting that this effect is usually triggered indirectly, for example by laying sideways, doing a handstand or looking into a tilted mirror. It differes from just seeing the environment flipped by making the user actually perceive it that way, which usually results in the outside world appearing strange and unrecognizable. This effect is described as confusing and is sometimes accompanied by [[changes in gravity]].</onlyinclude>
