I dunno, I think I've experienced a milder version of this. In my last apartment, the laundry room was one building over. You had to walk a fair distance down an alley to get to it. One night I was playing some Red Orchestra while the laundry was running. When I went down to put everything in the dryer, I suddenly realized that I was unconsciously checking the corners in the alley as I walked past, looking for enemy solders hiding in the shadows. It's like once your brain gets used to certain patterns, it wants to hang on to those patterns for a while, even after the situation changes.
