each person has their own triggers of what makes them dissociate and what doesnt. for some people yes dissociation happens more in certain situations and for others they do not...
example storms make me have dissociation problems where as my wife enjoys storms, my wife has problems with spiders I do not.
my point only you and your treatment providers can say what is typical for your dissociation problems and what isnt.
my suggestion if this continues to bother you contact your treatment provider, they will be able to help you figure out what makes you dissociate and what doesnt and if something is typical for you or not.
