the moment your brain buffers while reality keeps streaming.
means Stunned, disoriented, or unable to think clearly, usually after a shock, blow, or overwhelming experience.
from From Middle English *dasen*, meaning to stun or bewilder, with roots in Old Norse — compare Icelandic *dasask*, to become weary or exhausted. The same Norse strand also gives us 'daze' and likely 'dazzle,' that cousin where it's an excess of light rather than a blow to the head that scrambles you.
