Once I got on the metro, started reading (I think it was Proust). At one point the metro stopped a bit longer in a station, and there was an announcement, but I barely raised my head. In fact that station was the terminus, where I was supposed to get off. I stayed on the train as it started again in the opposite direction, and got back to reality only a few stations from my starting point. I did this a couple of times last year.
