It’s a somewhat common experience to zone out while driving and not remember how you got from points A to B. However, is it just as common to “wake up” from being zoned out between points A and B and momentarily forget that you’re in New(ish) Location and not lost in your Old Location (hometown). Or say someone asks you for directions someplace and you give them directions how to get there based on a different location you lived? I’ve been living in the Midwest US for 12 years now and still occasionally give directions or think I’m still on the East Coast.
As others have said, I find it more common when I am traveling short term than when I move from a place to another.
I think part of it is that moving has a strong emotional impact, so I am unlikely to forget about that in my wake time. But my dreams are often set in my hometown, where I haven’t lived in almost 20 years… the brain is weird!
