Sorry, I don't get the personal photo? Is this some kind of Inception thing, if you wake up due to intoxication, or what?



It happens to me that I wake up and do not know where I am (or why). The personal item helps me instantly knowing that I am on familiar ground.

Happens to many people who travel a lot.


It happened to me once when I was moving to a new home. I was spending a few nights in the old one and a few nights in the new one. I woke up one night believing I was in the new one but the sources of the street noise outside didn't match the ones in the new house. It was very disconcerting. It took me a while to realize where I was.


I won't say it happens to me regularly. But when I've been on some customer event road show with one or two nights in each city, I have definitely woken up and taken a minute to remember what city I'm in.
