When reminded of this later, you realize that you were aware of the movie to the exclusion of everything else. This could be termed a mild dissociative experience.

This could be termed a mild dissociative experience.
It means that you are either mildly or greatly detached from your surroundings. In the case above, you are just so absorbed in the movie that you are not paying attention to anything else but Casablanca. Still, you are detached, or dissociated from your environment, although not to a great extent.
