The following things (most already mentioned in this thread) seem to be at different points on a single scale, a scale of magnitude of disassociated parts of oneself:
Rubber duck debugging
Hypnosis, when the subject carries out the hypnotist's suggestions without a subjective feeling of acting, as in the floating arm test.
"Self talk".
A felt presence of God.
Some authors' experience of their characters having a degree of independence.
Likewise for actors and their roles.
Channelling of spirits.
The voices that people who "hear voices" hear.
Tulpas.
Multiple personality disorder.
From descriptions of lucid dreamers discussing issues with independent identities during dreams, I would add lucid dreaming to this list.
There are probably more relevant effects in hypnosis. Parts negotiation comes to mind.
That depends a lot what you mean with "felt". I think people who talks to god and perceive to get answer are a better example as people who feel transcendence.
