Transitional StatesmissdeekuppsNovember 12 2007, 20:02:39 UTC
As far as I can tell, I usually emerge from sleep very quickly and I am oriented to my surroundings almost as soon as I open my eyes. No grogginess or increased clumsiness and I don't really notice any sort of transitional state.
I definitely had a very different experience at/right after Burning Man when I kept waking up in an anxious, confused and slightly disoriented head space. It really scared me because that was the first time I had experienced that groggy, transitional disorientation upon awakening. I'm gonna chalk that up to the dazzling array of light and sound on the playa.
Of course, the night afterward, I woke up at Phillip and Laura's house in Reno and kept staring at the trees outside the picture window. I was very confused and anxious and could not understand that I was in a house and not outside in the woods. That was pretty frightening.
