Dizziness

Suddenly the world tilts. The floor that was stable just a moment ago seems to slope. The walls are spinning, or you are spinning, or both at once — you can no longer tell them apart. Perhaps it is a turning in circles, like on a merry-go-round you didn't start and cannot stop. Perhaps it is a swaying, as though you were standing on the deck of a ship rolling on invisible waves. Perhaps it is that peculiar lightheadedness where nothing directly wobbles, but your head feels as if it were stuffed with cotton and simultaneously dangerously far above your body.
