'''Consciousness disconnection''' 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~~:

'''Consciousness 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 can create a wide range of changes within 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

*~~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 one's conscious thought stream is not one's own~~, allowing it to be analysed from an unbiased third person perspective~~

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

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 [[memory suppression|long-term memory]]. It can be experientially described as a state that is functionally identical to [[Ego suppression, loss and death|long-term memory suppression]] and the feeling that there is no longer an "I" experiencing the trip; there is just the experience, as it is and by itself.
