At the risk of losing my fake status as the forums drug addict number 76587675: no drugs have been involved, only a periodically occuring event I call “sudden de- and reconstruction of all known words” that hits me from time to time, together with funny images and sceneries in my mind.
I am not THAT sure if this is something that can be shared.
I actually know exactly what you’re talking about, except this would happen to me with objects.
One time I looked at a spoon and almost freaked out because I didn’t know what it was like I was seeing it for the first time. But it felt like I was supposed to know (of course). Not even joking. Reverse de Ja vu kind of shit. I think we’re retarded.
That brings me to the point of random sounds connected to random peoples overall appearances, if that makes sense. Which, of course, doesn’t.
Hell yeah, retarded is a really good term for that.
