Moving in and out of rooms you've created taps deeply into a very primitive part of human psychology, creating feelings of nostalgia and wonder and also in the case of minecraft--protection.

Another example is the "mind palace" method of recording information that humans used for centuries to record extensive oral histories.

You could think of the Doorway effect as a glitch from that same brain function.
