For those of you who have shared the "lost in space" experience, did your sense of direction recover?
Well, no --- not for that particular experience. I still think Atlantic = West when I'm at the west coast of U.S.
Whenever I've been lost in the city or in the woods that "lost-in-space" feeling goes away pretty quick when I get my bearings right.
Did you find any technique or practice that seemed to aid in your recovery?
Substituting the east/west = direction of Atlantic thing is a conscious mental effort that I repeat whenever experience has taught me it may be nescessary. I.e. I think twice before I enter an eastbound/westbound highway in the U.S.
When I'm otherwise lost, a map and/or vantage point plus direction indicator (distant landmark or compass) is what I use to become un-lost.
