The transition, this time, was not a smooth one, where usually he’d have simply awoken in the same (or nearly the same) mental state before the shift into the Nightmare, this time he went from unnaturally relaxed–and nearly blissed out–and into a state of near-shock, abject confusion, and intense disorientation.

The whiplash of his shift from one state to the other was in fact so stark and sudden that Farren did not catch himself after the stumble, and instead fell to one knee…and then promptly vomited.
