Reality Drift

An incident in which one forgets about the reality they are actually in and temporarily behaves as if they are where/when they were thinking about.

Last night was weird, during dinner I had a reality drift I was in the movie Step Brothers.

Reality Drift

The subtle feeling that the world around you is slightly fake, off, or slipping out of sync. A cultural vertigo caused by algorithms, endless feeds, and manufactured experiences that blur the line between what’s authentic and what’s engineered.

Scrolling through TikTok at 2 a.m. and realizing every trend feels staged gave me major reality drift.
