Dissociation occurs when our brain creates parts out of experience such as when driving on a highway, arriving at our exit but realizing we cannot remember driving for the last 5 minutes. We did not crash because a part was driving while another part of us engaged a daydream. Our brain will create parts for emotionally painful or dangerous experiences and keep them from us so we can carry on with life.
