Not a definitive definition, but I take it to mean sort of "checking out" of reality to some degree. Often I associate it with consciously or unconsciously avoiding feeling feelings or thinking about life. It could be seen as sort of a maladaptive or reverse meditation where you process less input from your senses or become less aware of what you're feeling.
i've always took dissociation to mean a form of involuntary perspective shift where you no longer identify as yourself and you stop seeing meaning in the things around you, just looking at shapes. sort of a disconnect from the real world.
This has been my understanding of it, but I'm no longer sure that's how people mean it when they use it.
To me it sounds like depersonalization or derealization
Oh good point I always forget about those.
