Cohabitation

Does anyone else sometimes have strange daydream-like sensations in which they see their body in their mind’s eye, from a kind of out-of-body perspective, and some part of their brain asks “who the hell is this?” It’s not always quite that extreme, often there’s a sense of familiarity with the person in view (me), but certainly not the kind of intimate familiarity that ought to stem from being the person in question. Sometimes it feels like this phenomenon is accompanied by a heavy dose of disorientation and a sharp change in disposition, as well as a desire to get away from wherever I am at the time.
Sometimes this happens immediately after parting ways with someone, and sometimes it happens right in the middle of conversations, where I’ll start to see myself talking to the other person, and starting thinking something like “listen to this fool…” about myself. It’s kind of like having a roaming free camera on a video game level, except it’s real-time real life and I’m a character and nothing interesting is happening.
These things don’t happen very often, and the don’t worry me, but I’m a little curious to hear if anyone else ever experiences something similar.
