It sounds like you might have some form of Topographical Disorientation: https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25578-mindscapes-the-...

Every once in awhile (maybe a couple times a month) I'll have this sort of experience (though not as dramatic) where everything is a mirror image. I expect a store to be on the opposite side of the street for example, and it's momentarily disorienting. I've learned to not rely on my intuition when navigating.




Interesting, it might be related. I only have it while driving or walking in unfamiliar places, but it does sound very similar.

The article notes that the researcher who diagnosed her lives in the same city I do.
