Time is relative. You've just proved Einstein's point.
You might consider meditating at a time of day when you don't have to go somewhere, too. If you're doing well enough that time is slipping away and you want to continue and go deeper, you should allow yourself the opportunity to do that, if you can.

You may be developing some sort of clairvoyance or remote viewing ability, or you may be seeing into the Astral or similar. Why is it confusing? You don't necessarily have to give any weight or consideration to these flashes of scenery and so on. You can just let them pass by the same way you would thoughts.
For what it's worth, I get random flashes of other places, times, lives, all sorts of thigns. For the most part, I don't worry about it or investigate them. If they're important, they'll keep coming back until they make sense. If not, they're just random bits of collective memory, psychic impressions, thoughts, etc., and don't need any attention.
The dizziness will pass as you become more used to these little events. I used to get really awful problems with dizziness, and there was no apparent medical reason for it. Once I adjusted to the new sensations and patterns, it settled down.

You seem to have a lot of pre-conditioned ideas about what is or is not "spiritual" and what a so-called "spiritual life" is like. Let go of those. You'll be less concerned and a lot freer to just be and experience, without needing to weigh up the whole "spiritual or not spiritual" thing. (Personally, I have evolved to where I see everything as spiritual, but I lead the most mundane, ordinary, unremarkable life you can imagine.)

It is what it is. It's happening. Who can say what is "supposed" to be or not be?
The short answer is, don't worry about it, and see where it leads. It doesn't sound like there's any sort of problem, though.

Meditation does have many documented medical benefits, and many other anecdotal emotional/psychic/spiritual benefits. You sound as if you've already developed an excellent ability to slip into meditative trance, which is great. Now you may (or may not) be seeing some of the potential psychic/spiritual benefits that people sometimes experience.
Sounds to me like you're doing extremely well. I'd certainly encourage you to continue, and even give yourself more meditation time and see how that goes.
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
