Derealization
Derealization is an alteration or the perception or experience of the external world so that it appears strange or unreal. Other feelings include one's environment lacks spontaneity, emotional coloring and depth. It is not a stand alone disorder, but is a dissociative symptom of many psychiatric and neurological disorders.
Derealization is a subjective experience of unreality outside of the world. Depersonalization is an unreality in one's sense of self.
Many authors do not delineate the two as are seen as one construct, these symptoms often co-occur and the phenomenological experience of the self, others and world is one continuous whole. So, feelings of unreality may blend in and the person may puzzle over deciding whether it is himself or the world that feels unreal to them.
