I find if I do something I find really pleasurable and new, i can get a sudden dizziness. you know when your head sort of loses balance and you black out for a second? It feels very odd, a tad worrisome, if a tad nice, as well :).
For example once i hadnt had a bath in a long time....(i take showers, dont worry!:P)...and i got into a really hot tub, and nearly fainted! It happens with some very amazing smells, and things, as well.

I feel you on that its the worst when I go into libraries, museums, aquariums, etc. My friends say that my mind just moved too fast for my body to keep up.

Studying fears is one of my hobbies but mine is more like an overload but I worry that I'll faint when it happens. Plus I find myself taking a bath when I can but my family worries about it cause I stay all morning in cold water asleep

oh. that's interesting. so it's more of a constant feeling of dizziness? because mine lasts a split second.
and you fall asleep in the water! the coldness doesnt wake you up? that's funny.

I get a sort of dizzying rush, when I perceive something as exciting or pleasurable. It happens mostly with things that invoke a strong nostalgia, like hearing a song that takes me back to a certain moment, or smelling something really nice, or seeing a certain, beautiful color. Some examples are, seeing a winter hat for children, with large silver sequins on it; the kind that changes colors when you move them. Lots of kids wore these, when I was a child. Another example was catching a scent that was almost dizzying in pleasantness.
