Looping can also be confusin, here is a different story:

I once played in a neat quiet italian restauran for background.

at some point I realized I had inconsciously drifted into some very 
strange sound layering, some deep cavern meditation stuff, and I 
thought: lets get out of this, you cannot do such stuff here.

at the end of the night, somebody told me about a girl that had been 
carried out with some attack of crying. Although it happened at a 
table pretty close to where I played, I had not noticed anything!
I am sure I was in that sound cavern then. Maybe it was her cavern, really.
It may have hurt or helped her, I dont know.
But certainly it was a strange place for such "work" !
