Template:Proofread Spatial disorientation can be described as one's inability to orient themselves in 3-dimensional space. In this state, a person can not distinguish up from down, right from left, front from behind or any combination of these. One might also perceive the world as being flipped sideways or even upsidedown. This effect is also applicable to the sense time, as well as to one's sense of their own body, on lower and higher dosages of a drug, respectively. Disoriented people are unable to assess the current situation and are typically unable to give reliable information. This effect is somewhat uncommon and happens mostly on dissociatives.
