Spatial disorientation can be described as the inability to orient oneself in 3-dimensional space. In this state, one cannot distinguish up from down, right from left, or any two different directions from another. One might also perceive the world as being flipped sideways or even upside down.
This effect is relatively uncommon and occurs mostly on dissociatives but can also be induced by heavy dosages of other drugs, including alcohol. It is also worth noting that this effect is usually triggered indirectly by activities such as laying sideways, doing a handstand or looking into a tilted mirror. This effect is generally described as mildly confusing and is sometimes accompanied by changes in gravity and dizziness.
