This is something that has happened to me at various times, without much predictability. As I am reading something or thinking about something, I get this feeling like I'm falling into my chair, sort of like space is warping and I'm being stretched vertically, and it sort of feels like. Whenever it happens I tend to become spontaneously aware of my surroundings despite having been concentrating on reading or thinking, probably just because it is an unusual feeling. From what I can remember, I have had this experience occasionally since I was young (I don't know when it first happened), and it has also happened when I was standing. It has never caused me any problems, just a moment of weirdness, wondering what the cause is. I am still quite capable of performing actions while experiencing the sensation, and it dissipates fairly quickly, although it can leave behind a feeling of pressure in my head that fades more slowly.
When I was younger I seem to remember it happening on its own every now and then, in various circumstances. These days, though, it usually happens while I am reading SOTT, this forum, or other things that get me to thinking about stuff. I think I've also had it happen while I was just thinking about things, but it seems like it is always serious thought, for instance about spirituality. It sort of seems like my thinking keeps speeding up while I am reading, and it is the thinking that sets it off, maybe when I reach a certain speed of thought or type of thought.
So does anyone have an idea as to what this could be?
