Sounds a bit like depersonalization or derealization. I have the former but I found an really silly and simple way to stop the "episodes" when they happen.

As soon as I start feeling myself "floating away" I reach for the nearest solid thing. A book, the desk, a staples, it doesn't matter what it is as long as its solid. And then I squeeze it hard ... very very hard, to the point where the muscles hurt and / or the pointy parts of the object start to dig into the skin. This pain sort of forces me to "stay there" and usually puts an end to the episode. It sorts of keeps me grounded without having to resort to things which cause permanent damage.
