Is it ever. I used to get it quite a bit, but it seems to have gone away.
The only way I can describe it is to say that things lose their immediacy. Ordinarily, you don't have to give any thought to sensing things, you're just enmeshed in your environment. When derealized, though, everything seems distant and washed out. It takes effort to interpret the environment. It's like your mind is drawn way down inside yourself, in some other place. You hear yourself with the same seperation as you hear other people. Your senses are out of focus with your "self", and hence seem dreamlike. It's very disconcerting.
