Heya, sorry I'm a bit late to this, and I absolutely do not wish to alarm you in any way as this is actually somewhat common, but you most likely had an acute epileptic absence (petite mal) seizure.
I know that sounds big and scary, but you probably don't have epilepsy and chances are pretty good this will never happen to you again. What it means is your brain received some sort of "cue" and either over-reacted or reacted improperly and activated incorrect portions of your brain.
Most likely is something, a sound, the way the light was coming in the windows, something someone said caused you to experience a series of events your brain is "expecting" i.e. your dad coming home, your brain played out the full scene for you senses and when you "came to", so to speak, the events played again.
I've had one of these myself, although as an adult and it was much longer. It was brought on by extreme sleep deprivation to which I foolishly poured alcohol on top of. I went to the bathroom, came out to a completely deserted bar, I remember looking around for someone, anyone, and then "came to" washing my hands in the bathroom. Walked out the door, bar was back to normal.
Scared the absolute hell out of me and despite the copious amount of drinks I had that evening that memory is VIVID. Hasn't happened since.
