> my roomate keeps saying he dissociates. No idea what he means
I've never fully understood what dissociation means either. People say they lose time and compare it to highway hypnosis.
Dissociative Identity Disorder has, I think, been taken out of the DSM. It referred to people losing time because they were split into different personalities which were not integrated in one sense of self - also known as multiple personality disorder. Most mental health practitioners now believe that this disorder doesn't exist and that the few publicized cases (like Sybil) were essentially made up by the treating doctors.
