It doesn't interfere with my life in the most part, but as I said sometimes I feel I dissociate and become unaware of my surrounding fully, which could potentially be dangerous.

Same here,i dont realize when i get into it,cause it became a habbit.One way to destroy bad habbits is make new better ones.Instead of unconsciously sliding into it,try to start it yourself by choosing the "theme of the fantasy".
What i do is try to keep my brain always focused on controlling myself and on being selfconscious.So even though i son't realize how i get into it,when i do realize it I try to tell my brain:"Hey,next time try to realize it faster or be aware when it happens",and it actually works , next time i realize it faster or even realize when im sliding into it. And i do have a lot of embarassing/bad memories but hey,the past is the past,there's nothing you can do to change it.Just accept it and own it,everything that matters is the present because it will shape your future.Basically the thoughts you have now, in the present, will build the you in the future.The power is in your hands,and if you don't believe it,your brain will not believe it aswell. But then again i'm not a professional at this stuff,i'm taking all of this from books i've read or videos i've seen,and they worked for me.Maybe you should see a therapist or a psychologist to help you figure out what are the roots of the problem and to help you overcome it.
Cheers!
