Yes, that is a good way to put it...being aware of your awareness.

I have never had it go for an hour....wow...that would be a bit freaky.

When I become aware of it (that weird feeling of not being oneself, but observing someone [me, lol] from the outside) it usually goes away after a few minutes...but that is because it is not really comfortable for me and I try and "get myself back".

Next time it happens I will not "fight it" but just let it ride and see how long it lasts.



btw, at the risk of sounding completely insane, the way that I "get myself back" is by talking to myself..."you are a human being, you are on planet earth, you are sitting on your couch (or wherever), your name is Kevin, this is just the feeling of being outside of yourself, it will go away...stuff like that, and usually within a couple of minutes it fades.
