I hope you don't feel bad --it doesn't have to be a big trauma, just anything that is distressing.

It's funny you bring this up because just on Sunday night I had this horrible nightmare that I have every so often, and the next morning I had that feeling of floating, of somehow not entirely inhabiting my body. It was fleeting, lasted just a couple of minutes. It makes me feel uneasy, disconcerted, but like you I haven't found it hugely distressing.

I actually haven't tried grounding techniques myself, I've just heard about it. It doesn't happen much, if it did I guess I'd give it a try. But it can at least be 'useful' sometimes (aside from as a break from emotions) to figure out where it is coming from and why -though I haven't always been able to figure that out.
