Consciousness disconnection can be defined at lower to moderate doses as only partial in its effects. This creates a number of changes in a person's internal thought processes and perception of their own consciousness which generally includes:
- Feeling as though reality has become distant and vague
- Feeling as though reality is a film or a dream
- Feeling as though the world beyond one's immediate external environment is simply non-existent
- A dosage proportional decrease in the overall speed, connectivity and analytical abilities of the conscious thought stream
- Feeling as though one's conscious thought stream is not one's own, allowing it to be analysed from an unbiased third person perspective
At higher dosages, the disconnection from consciousness eventually makes the transition from partial to all-encompassing. This results in the complete failure of a person's conscious thought stream, sense of self and long-term memory. It can be experientially described as a state that is functionally identical to long-term memory suppression and the feeling that there is no longer an "I" experiencing the trip; there is just the experience, as it is and by itself.
