Some of the symptoms you mention can be symptoms of dissociation, but they can also be symptoms of physiological problems as well.
I would suggest speaking with your primary physician about this. Sometimes people can have seizures that can cause this type of behavior, among other things. It's best to get the medical/physiological things ruled out and if things look good, then you can seek guidance from a mental health practitioner.
When my T and I first realized that I was dissociating, she told me to talk with my MD. My Doc did an EEG and a CT scan of my brain, and some labs to make sure there was nothing out of the ordinary. Once I got cleared medically, we were able to start exploring things.
I hope this helps. I've had experiences like that before myself. The scariest was when I was putting gas in my car, at the gas station directly across the street from my apartment. I finished, got in my car, drove across the intersection and drove right passed my apartment complex to the next light. I did not recognize my own home....and when I got to the next light, I didn't know where I was...but I knew I was supposed to. It took me a few minutes of driving around before I came back to myself and I don't now who was out and who was in....but it was really scary.
