I've had this problem off an on but I'm noticing it happening a lot more frequently lately.

A thought will pop in my head and suddenly I'm lost in my thoughts, reliving moments related to that thought. My eyes open wide, my eyebrows raise, my expression is generally blank and my vision goes out of focus. After a couple minutes I come back and start wondering what the heck I'm doing? It happens while I'm driving and then I come back and panic a little wondering if I ran a stop sign or something.

I'm like reenacting the events in my head but they aren't visual it's more like my thoughts and memories are at the forefront while real life is playing on a tv in the background.

Just wondering if this sounds more like dissociation than flashbacks or if ya'll can relate?
