:Good point. I added a line to the lede about the frightening aspect of the experience. Feel free to comment on what I've written, or to include a better description.

Authorship

Hi Richard, I was trying to verify the above authorship. Is this you? --Matt Innis (Talk) 20:31, 7 September 2007 (CDT)

Yes. I used to edit under that user name. Richard Pettitt 21:43, 3 October 2007 (CDT)

Cultural influences

Hello Richard,

I wonder if anthropologists in CZ would like to comment on this.

Depersonalization can be terrifying

I have some experience with depersonalization. I am a bit surprised that the tremendous fright of depersonaliztion, which results from experiencing this feeling, is not mentioned.
