Is it a fugue state when I suddenly wake up from a daydream to notice i am driving a car? This could be dangerous as i am not in my body. I often don't remember getting somewhere because my head is in a fantasy. This makes it difficult to remember how to get to certain places...like a drs office for instance. I drove my husband there 4 times but I was daydreaming and if he asked me to drive him there today, I would not know where it was.

Yes, I am creative, imaginative, poet, dreamer and artist, so very right brained....but I am also bipolar 1, with rapid and mixed cycling and sometimes psychosis. Also panic, and gad. I have been dxed with dissociative tendancies but I don't remember when.

I thought a fugue state was driving to another town and not knowing why you were there or how you got there. I have yet to do that.

Anyone here have bipolar with dissociative disorder or fugue states?
