Most of the time it feels like I'm in a dream and it doesn't help that my actual dreams revolve around mundane things and scenarios that feel very realistic and familiar.
How do I tell the difference between a "normal" state and a dissociative state? I honestly can't figure it out on my own.

Have you been taking any new meds or drugs? Have you had a physical lately? There can be lots of causes for how you say you feel, especially for a long one.
When I dissociate, my mind goes blank and I feel myself pull into my head, my eyes go out of focus and it's like I'm in a fog cloud. Then an other jumps in and takes over and we are good to go again....unless it was a system wide whopper for a trigger.
Can you say you feel detached?
