DAE feel a little vertigo when you suddenly snap out of absent-minded mode?

I will occasionally enter an absent -minded state, particularly when walking a few blocks on the sidewalk. It feels like being on autopilot, with just enough brain activity to keep my feet moving without tripping.

When I inevitably snap out of it, I get a mild feeling of vertigo. In fact, it feels a bit like the "Hitchcock shot" from the movie Vertigo, where the emphasis of foreground and background swaps jarringly.

Is this a normal human quirk? Os there a name for it?
