I have no expert knowledge in this field, but I have a theory.

This may be caused by 'your' personal experiences and how the context/content/atmosphere/vibe/word choice might remind you of certain events and memories.

Once you're recalling an experience it's sometimes difficult to "stop remembering something" and regain focus on what you were/are doing.

Some text may be written in such a way that they can trigger this response in many people, but most likely it differs from person to person if or when it happens.

I would guess the most common examples could be surrounding childhood or other memories that are distant to most people, but still accessible in certain situations - with the 'right' stimuli.
