DE-PERSONALIZATION
a state in which one's thoughts and feelings seem unreal or not to belong to oneself.
"De-personalization and disassociation refer to a 'dreamlike state', when a person feels disconnected from their surroundings. Things may seem 'less real' than they should be."
These 'sensations' can vary in severity, but are ultimately by-products of numerous conditions such as PTSD and recreational drug use.
