At first I think about it as maybe like when you wake up and your eyes are all filmy, you can't see and you keep rubbing and rubbing them, and finally they clear. But it's not like that at all. It's more like hypnagogic thought--where you're not sure if you're awake or asleep, if what you are experiencing is real or a dream, and both are happening at once, the real and the dream at the same time. And then you do wake up, and the dream part vanishes, and you don't remember it, just have the residual feeling of it.
Except Transient Global Amnesia inverts that.
Instead of the dream feeling real, the real feels like a dream.
Then you wake up and the real vanishes.
This is how I understand it at least, from when it happened to my dad last week, and it scares me marrow-deep.
