The part about "a distinct overlay of nearly hidden but discernable memory of a different time, a different place, and different conditions" rings true to me to some extent.
As a child even I would sort of feel out of place. In my early 20's I realized that the world seemed to me like a holodeck. When I spoke to others about that, they disagreed, so I thought no more on it till the last 5 months or so.
But I get glimpses, certain thoughs and feelings that are so brief, when I find myself around certain stimuli. I recall somewhat having a larger view of the Universe than my experience here would lend me. But at least I know I'm headed in the right direction.
