I have yet to find an answer from eye doctors and psychogists.  I will
state the symptoms although it is extremely difficult for me to
describe.  I am 27 and have had this "disorder" for as long as I
remember.  Well here I go:  To my knowledge a "normal" person only has
one visual point-of-view (POV).  This POV allows him to do all basic
human tasks including remembering how to get from point A to point B.
Granted some people are a bit worse than others when it comes to
remembering how to get to work or the supermarket however to my
knowledge, once a person learns how to "find his way" to a location and
it becomes routine, that person will remember how to get there
(especially if its part of his everyday routine).  Or course a person
could have some acute head injury or something else that may make him
forget the directions, but that is not my case.  My case is that I am
pretty good at directions (granted I get lost on some occasions in
unfamiliar territory--like most other people).  So for clarification,
lets just call this "normal" POV (the one I use most often in locating
places and also where I am geographically)--POV1.  Well suppose a
person had a second POV (POV2) in that as soon as his mind "switches"
to this second POV, he becomes disorientated.  And lets say that as
soon as his mind switches back to POV1, he becomes reorientated.  Lets
say that he can control this at will however at random times (primarily
when he is consciously thinking about his ability to have two POVs, his
mind switches to the other POV) thus either getting him lost or
familiar with his surroundings again.  Herein lies my problem and
fustration.  The difficult part here is explaining to you exactly what
is seen in POV2.  According to Gestalt Theory and the Gestalt Laws of
Organization, my vision is exactly the same as when I'm in POV1 mode.
The crux of this issue is that there is no visual issue, just an issue
of perspective.  The closest example I can think of is when you spin
yourself around until you are dizzy--then try to drive or walk
somewhere familiar.  This is still a bada analogy because I am not
dizzy in POV2, just disorientated.  I can see if I had a shock or
something to disorientate me but thats not the case.  Even odder is the
fact that I can control this at will (although it fluctuates from my
control sometimes).  What I mean is 90% of the time I'm in POV1 and
perhaps 10% in POV2.  I usually "snap-out" of the disorientating POV2
by either closing my eyes or staring hard at a fixed spot which also
does the trick.  Perhaps a significant piece of this puzzle is in
regards to being disorientated is what I'm doing in each mode.  For
instance if I learn directions (driving; walking outside/inside, etc.)
in one POV, I cannot remember in the other POV--instead I must "switch"
gain to remember the way from the original orientation.  This can
become a time-consuming, if not a hazard ordeal while driving.  I take
no medication for anything, consider myself very healthy, active and
intelligent with no disabilities (perhaps a little ADHD).  I have had
two head injuries in my life both when I was very young, however I have
not noticed nor have been disagnosted with any mental or physical
altercations since then.  My questions are:

1) Is there a name for this "disorder"?

2) If not, how else could this be explained?

3) Is there any tests I could take or specialists I could speak with to
get to the bottom of this issue?
