Odd feeling episodes?

I sometimes find myself just drifting off and I start thinking about me, and that I'm existing and keep telling myself that over and over... it's hard to explain. I guess I can relate it to when you say a word so many times it just sounds weird, and you're in that state of befuddlement. It's that befuddlement feeling but to a much more extreme degree.

Anyways, does anyone remotely understand what I'm trying to explain and know if it's "normal"?

Update:

No Eel, you're on the right track. It's just hard to accept that you're (me) actually existing ... I just think I put it in wrong context.

    I do not think I entirely know what you are saying, but I also find it hard to accept sometimes that I am "existing". just thinking about that sometimes is extremely confusing. and I also think about certain words and pick them apart and realize how strange they sound and look and do get that befuddlement you say. I do not really have that same feeling when I am thinking about existence, though.
