Depersonalization (or depersonalisation) is an anomaly of the mechanism by which an individual has self-awareness. It is a feeling of watching oneself act, while having no control over a situation. Sufferers feel they have changed, and the world has become less real, vague, dreamlike, or lacking in significance. It can be a disturbing experience, since many feel that, indeed, they are living in a "dream".

my sister and I call it "the double bubble". The feeling that you are inside a bubble, watching everything around you in a dreamlike slo-mo fashion.
They say that in these situations it is best to be around familiar faces and places, sometimes this physical closeness is reassuring.

You might be interested in becoming the observer, where you are not emotionally reactive.
Was it disturbing for you? Most of my experience with depersonalization was pretty much disturbing, especially when it was intense. It is all gone now :)
I am from Lebanon btw.
