I noticed the staring thing when driving, if I stared at someone in front of me quite often they would turn around and look straight back at me. I've since read that this is actually quite a common phenomenon experienced by many people which leads credence to it being true. Also in martial arts they practice this like a skill - the whole sensing your enemy from behind thing not to mention there's other things in martial arts like energy practice for example qi gong and tai chi and did you know that all the pressure points in the body are the same points used in acupuncture?
I've been practicing meditation for many years now and can tell you there are multiple ways to meditate. From visualisation to using sounds or incense and a plethora of techniques such as mindfulness, chakra meditations, guided meditations, breathing techniques or simply using no technique at all. To me it sounds like you're going into deep delta brainwave states that can give you that blackout effect where basically time is passing but you're in such a deep state your mind isn't really thinking its almost like a deep sleep but you are still awake.
This is the beauty about meditation, you can use it to go into lower brainwave states and go into trance or zone out. But you can also go into higher brainwave states and become more alert, more conscious and aware. A technique for doing this is mindfulness - to become aware of everything and just observe without passing judgement. Be a passive observer who's only task is to observe. When you are in this state your consciousness expands and you become more aware, you can take it a step further by becoming aware of the awareness. You are watching everything but who is watching you? who is watching the watcher that watches you? If you understand what I mean it's like placing an observer on an observer. I've had some epic experiences doing this, hope you give it a try and see if you do too!
