It went away pretty quickly, and I only practiced a few more switches after that. I'll try the exercises some more later today and see if I experience it again.
Cool, my only suggestion in the first exercise would be to not worry about anything other than how you're seeing the object. See the object as part of a dream without worrying about implications or where you are or whether or not you're sleeping. Just see it as a dream. Then see the next thing as real. If you're mind is busy thinking and getting confused, it's pulling you away from seeing the object. Let it do it's thing, then return to alternating how you see the object.
