I'm beginning to tease out what sensory overload is. I've lumped the type of experience under "dissociation" but it's not a definite internal logic to it. What happens is, the things come in (sound, vision, proprioception, etc) and they don't get connected to meaning or to each other. So I'll hear a voice but the sounds don't have meaning and I don't really understand that the words are connected to the other experiences happening to me, or I'll experience walking through a space as a series of still pictures much the same as if you were given a set of random images on a computer screen.
Maybe with home I have a sense of how everything fits into everything else already, so my mind doesn't need to do the work so hard to make connections happen?
