If you're able to access memories from when someone else is in control of the body you share, do they tend to include a feeling of 'the general sensation of being person X'? If so, how does it influence your use of the memories?

On those occasions that there is a single self in primary/sole posession of the body, the memories from that time don't transfer cleanly. If that self has a particular mindset or approach to things, that's missing when someone else is driving, and that makes things make less sense sometimes.

A specific thing: Stormy is extremely intense and emotion-driven. If she's not involved in the current gestalt running the body, then memories from when she was primary are extremely washed out -- nobody can process the intensity stuff, so it just gets elided.
