About two weeks ago I felt the most disconnected from reality I've ever been and it lasted an entire day.
When I woke up everything felt out of place, family members seemed fake and out of character. It felt like I was in a dream and I thought I would wake up in a different reality if I would fall asleep.
I started panicking after a while because the dreamlike feeling got worse and I thought I would wake up any minute. I was disgusted by these feelings.

Last week I noticed new types of episodes - I can randomly feel detached for a couple seconds or minutes but it's different. It feels like I'm floating away from my body and everything gets cloudy, but it's a good feeling.
It makes me feel like I can escape my problems while the first type of episode I described gives me panic attacks.
I haven't exactly felt real for 3 months but these episodes are on a new level. They intensify the dreamlike feelings to a point where it's almost impossible to tell the difference.

I haven't found any information on why one of these episodes feels like a nightmare while the other one feels so good.
Is there actually different types of episodes in the way I described or is it about the way I feel when it happens?
