If so, how would you describe it? What are the triggers?

Everybody does I'm pretty sure, because dissociation is how your brain protects itself in extremely stressful situations

Sometimes, usually it just happens when my friends are arguing and I’m tired of trying to keep the peace

I'm not sure if this counts as disassociation, but I have paracosms (although instead of one really detailed paracosm, I have about a dozen smaller ones, each with their own storyline)

Only if I start getting a trippy migraine. I don't know how explain it. It's kinda like deja-vu mixed with feeling like reality isn't real, but knowing that it is...If you know, you know.

I used to. Colors would fade and it would feel like I was watching a movie, like Nothing but myself was real.
Anything that would cause fear could trigger it. I became aware of it after going to a Halloween haunted event night. It was the most uncomfortable sensation of trapped in a movie and I struggled to get out.
2 years of intense trauma therapy and for the most part I no longer disassociate. At most my skin crawls and gets itchy when something happens were I typically would have and didn't.

Colors start to bleed, or super saturate on brightly colored things. Then it transitions to where everything looks like a distant highway mirage made by the heat. At the same time I get the "wah wahs", a heavy pressure on my ears with a low thrumming sound. Then I blink and sometimes I'm in a different location or chunks of time has passed. It used to seem random, but therapy has helped identify and diffuse some triggers. I might lose 5-15 minutes sporadically when stress is low and up to a couple days in times of severe duress.
