I've never felt anything like the OP described, even at depths that are considerably deeper. I have seen one person, kinda go into a stupor and sit there and do nothing for a period - like he described himself doing. Scared the heck out of me, but we were much deeper.
If this happened at a depth that greatly exceeded recreational depths, I would not be too surprised, but for it to be so severe at 112 feet, that your buddy has to come and "get you and rouse you from a stupor" is pretty concerning.
I would take this incident as a strong warning. Some people do not do well with narcosis. I would stay above 100 feet or something for a long time.
People can be weird and have sudden panic attacks while driving to work in the morning, so I am not so surprised when someone says they had a dark narc and started to feel scared, nervous or uncomfortable, however going into a stupor and having "an out of body experience and going into an immobile state" seems a lot more serious to me.
