Conversely known as "Neurological Environmental Displacement Syndrome",
N.E.
D.S. is characterized by a non-lethal state of mental activity in which the subject(s) in question receives frequent, sometimes disturbing, flashbacks, memories, nostalgic relapses, or other strong feelings associated with being a place or being in that place. The variety of atmopsheres felt by the person can vastly differ in scale; from room-room, continent-continent, or
even universe-
universe. What most likely causes N.E.
D.S. are the associative bonds formed with a particular biome, location, building, etc., being triggered by a surrounding factor (mostly a result of the sense of sight). Many causes of the knowledge of these places can vary from having been there, learning much about it at a young age, having played a
video game/read a book/watched a
movie, etc. Many report the feelings they get to be nostalgic more than depressing. The feelings are not hallucinations nor do they overtake a person. They come about most often naturally when a person is in deep thought. The overall feeling they receive from either experience or knowledge of that place overwhelms them, and a strong desire to visit that place fills them. N.E.
D.S. is felt by every sentient being, no matter on what scale. The feeling someone has for a certain place
may change greatly over time, depending upon the distance away, time apart, and connection to it. N.E.
D.S. is only curable through death or a loss of mental activity.
I was sitting in my living room thinking to myself when all of a sudden feelings of the desert welled up inside of me. I have never been to the desert, but I have seen many movies and played many games containing it. I now
may take a charter flighrt so South Sudan to fulfill this gaping hole in my very consciousness. It
may be
N.E.
D.S.
