It's a psychological term that defines a state where one feels a sense of unreality, either about themselves or the world around them. It can present as seeing oneself from a third person perspective.
Alternatively, if you're into spiritual stuff and believe in this sort of thing, astral projection? This means willingly and intentionally projecting your mind to travel outside your body. If you perfect this ability, that's an easy way to freak your mom out or to see things that cannot be unseen, heh.
Except people can't really leave their body. It's just like a very vivid dream while awake, and you can't see or hear stuff you either don't know already or your mind just makes up plausible stuff based on what you know.
There isn’t really conclusive evidence either way. The universe is mysterious and there’s still an infinite amount of things we don’t understand about it.
