A dissociative fugue is characterized by generally short-termed amnesia of one's own personal identity, such as their personality traits. The period of fugue, however, is generally forgotten (as amnesia for the period of time, versus voluntarily) once one recovers from such an episode.

It's in the form of a FUGUE.
The Four-Hour Fugue was created in 1975.
The opening section of a fugue is called the "exposition." In the exposition, all the voices of the fugue enter in turn with the subject (or answer).

A dissociative fugue is an episode where a person flees their current life and has no memory of their past. This is usually associated with an extreme emotional stressor and is most likely a protective mechanism to avoid the stressor. It is usually self-limited and the person often begins to remember their former life gradually. If it lasts long enough, however, a person may actually create a new identity for him- or herself and begin a new life elsewhere. I would imagine the main consequences would be loss of income, loss of the individual's support system (although people who suffer from dissociative disorders frequently do not have very good support systems in the first place), and anything else that might go along with being in a strange place with no memory of who you are.
