I'll read the dry sciencey stuff too (already have a little) but it would really help if you guys could share some anectdotal experiences of what it's like; medical literature can only take you so far...
I met someone earlier who experiences it constantly, and having never experienced it myself, I'd really like to understand what it's like...

So my story was extreme 
It has also laced to a spiritual awakening where i founded the really true being in essence.
It has been a long process now 4-5 months and i am recovering and getting slowly into consciousness.
You feel all day tired , just in thoughts . I took it to the point where i wasnt anymore in my body, mind. My mind was moving my body and everything else . I was catched in babylon. I have auffered a lot of pain men. It is a very hard experience . It can lead to psychosis if you have very negative thinking patterns , anxiety , stress just makes it worse . I came to the last point of life. Now i am turning the coin and just living consciouss with a higher state.
it just desintegrates your whole personality and maybe you find a new one better one or you are lost with no feet , no head a big mouth and remembering the lost things in hand.
It is pretty hard
Hope that explained it

You also feel numb , very low emotions , you cant see any light. Cant relate to things , feel unreal sometimes , see everything unreal. You have a veil upon you that doesnt let you see your reality. I have it now since 4-5 months . It has taken over me . Now i am just accepting it and living with it hoping this veil fades and live normal again. It is not a nice feeling and having it such long is a thing to carry. I wouldnt wish it to anyone

I think the trip is that you're always you.
I seem to think I have 2 separate experiences, one is the feelings and physical sensations I experience and the other is the thoughts and ideas I experience.
I try not to be attached to my feelings because they're often not based in reality. E.g. Feeling anxious in mundane social situations.
On the other hand I act analytically towards my thoughts in order to determine truth.
I don't know if it's depersonalization or not but I have distinguished experiences of feelings and thoughts.

This sounds similar although in my experience I'd simplify it down to hypomania. Magic mushrooms taught me how to deal with and handle hypomania pretty well, you've just got to be aware of your super-ego to ignore your fears and try to be mindful of the difference between your feelings and thoughts.
Feelings are physical sensations while thoughts are mental perceptions.

I have quitted weed . It only worsen my dp.
Have you used shrooms with dp ? how is it like?
Do you have the same feeling of having a glass wall before you and having a pretty serious look going on looking lost in the front.
How do you live with it in public ? I wear glasses when i am around .

For hypomania shrooms are a godsend, it doesn't matter what I'm doing I'm always in cognitive ease on them as they induce mental balance and a state of of norm.

I look through people when I'm walking in public and I don't think about what random people might be thinking of me; how I look, walk, move my hands etc. Instead I focus on me, my thoughts, my feelings and my goals/destination/music.
I prefer earphones in public over glasses.

A few years back I noticed that in my mind I would refer to myself as "we." This was pretty startling, but not surprising. If something sad happened (or otherwise emotional) I would notice the emotion but I couldn't participate in it. The "I" doesn't get emotional because they became separate. I thought I might be a sociopath until I googled what was going on.
Knowing what was going on didn't help. I started to get panic attacks about the extremes of logic (example: either I'm going to die or be around for eternity). Next I began to worry about having to be on anti-depressants or something because fight/flight was always triggered. Then it just stopped.
