This may not be what you're experiencing, but for some years some time ago, I would sometimes be, for example, just walking down a street in my neighborhood that I had walked down gazillions of times, and suddenly get this eery feeling that it was all new, that I had never been there before, everything looked different. It was a very uncomfortable feeling, like feeling outside of myself and suddenly feeling kind of lost.
My therapist of that time gave it a term (I think actually the opposite of deja vu) and said it was a form of dissociation. Whatever you want to call it though, I never really understood it, it was just very uncomfortable/eery.
