Do any of you ladies feel like you're in a constant dream state. Like you feel you're outside your body all the time?

    I think it's called a dissociative state. Happens when one is under extreme stress, and what women experience during menopause is very stressful. I think what your mind is trying to accomplish is to get outside your body, which can't be controlled.
