I'm not 100% sure what dissociating is. This is the best analogy I have come up with that people seem to understand in general. When you read a book and you start at the top of the page, and then all of the sudden you're at the bottom but you don't really remember reading it, but obviously you must have because you have gotten to the bottom. Is that dissociating? I get that feeling a lot recently and I don't even know how long it really lasts. With a book obviously it's one page, and that's that, but this happens when I'm doing anything. I just sort of all of the sudden "come to" not really remembering what has happened, but it seems like I have "gone through the motions" of whatever task I was doing because it was actually completed, though I don't remember doing it. Would that be it? I'm not sure.. I don't think I have DID or anything, but this happening to me all of the time is starting to be worrying. I'd hate to have it happen while doing something like driving, etc., and get into an accident and not even really remember it.
