I see. I am able to distinguish what's real and what's not, especially after the "episode". My best description of these episodes were that I felt very detached, like I wasn't even there. As if I wasn't even being and just turned to nothingness. I don't think I have absence seizures, because these episodes lasted for hours, while these seizures last up to minutes. From what I've read, people who experience this are unaware of there surroundings. And while I can't remember exactly how aware I was during these moments, I was able to be snapped out of it by a sudden noise, like a phone alarm for example.
