Not too much different from people coming down from intense psychedelics or mystical experiences.
Among the spiritual seekers for these kinds of mindblowing experiences, there is a seeking for greater and more intense experiences. What follows is a sort of emptiness or depression. It's touching on dukkha, that is, existential anguish.
The key, as it has always been, to be present in the present moment, whether that means being present during the VR experience, or being present in meatspace. Being present to that emptiness will allow it to bleed out and dissolve.
I'm personally glad to hear about these reports. There is a good possibility that VR and AR is the gateway towards mainstream exploration of consciousness. Up until then, honest discussion about existential anguish has been buried and suppressed, and I don't think that has served our civilization well. Here's a shoutout to all the explorers to come.
