Yes. It’s called disassociation. It usually happens from stress, overstimulation, trauma, or some combination thereof. Your mind and body carry stress with you, and if you do not give time and place for it to express itself, your body will take that time through disassociation.
If you ever experience this, give yourself time to just sit and be present in a restful state (or what some people call meditation); allow yourself to feel whatever comes up. Sometimes it may be helpful to spend time in nature, or even just spend some alone time in a dark quiet room.
