@morrgin It can be, more or less, "peaceful" in the sense you're not experiencing stress factors in the RAW but all phased out. I just can't afford to be dissociated because I drive a lot as part of my work. It doesn't help when I have to be aware of my surroundings and quick thinking or reflexes to avoid wrecking. It's been two days so far that everything has been hazy.

@RedGrizzly usually all you gotta do to jump back in is explore everything around you using your senses.. Touch things around you like a table, couch, bag, cat, dog, etc. Then really focus on it.
