somedays, sometimes, i find myself adrift, in a zone of emptiness. very often this will strike me, i feel as though im an alien, or another being. the feeling as if nothing were real, and anything that you said or saw or heard at that moment wasnt real or didnt matter. any of you ever get that too? it happened to me today alot

I used to feel like this all the time, and it was not particularly pleasant. It was positive though, because it was the feeling that something was not right that made me become reflective and realize my own alienation, that I was not in touch with my own authentic possibilities and was instead immersed in a sense of self based on what other's saw in me. Don't try and supress these feelings, work through them. It is a doorway, an invitation to choose to develop authenticity. Also- check out Heidegger and existentialism in general.

Sounds like depersonalization to me. I have it constantly day to day. I started to just get the feeling randomly, but then realized that I could initiate it whenever I wanted just by thinking in a certain way. Eventually it kind of took over and I would have it whether I wanted it or not. Often I would wake up in the morning and feel like I didn't know who I was. I mean I knew who I was, but I felt like a blank slate. I felt like old self that I usually unidentified with was a total fake, but I didn't know who I was in this new state either. Gradually though I became more and more comfortable in this new state of being. Because of it today I hardly worry about anything at all. Things just seem to flow and happen so much easier. Much more of my time is spent simply enjoying the present moment, not worrying about the future or thinking about the past. I spend a lot of my time trying to further develop it. You should look into the method called the "Forth Way" It's an introspective method based mostly on this type of experience/practice called self-remembering. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Way
