I believe that in the past memory gaps temporary or permanent were for the purpose of achieving goals, experiencing as much as possible and learning as much as possible across a broad spectrum.
Many discussions of many personal life issues from simple to complex, making agreements, making codes of conduct, personal rules and morals, aligning beliefs took years and we still disagree on religion generally. So much research and a dream aligned religion eventually but there's still not 100% agreement or even 10% agreement. It's agree to disagree and not put ourselves in religious environments - nearly caused an elderly lady to loose her faith due to our so many questions and it was decided that was against our moral code of conduct.
Anyway aligning selves, agreeing on goals, having general procedures to follow in possible situations definitely helps to quell memory gaps and makes accessing memory a much more open experience because everyone is, to use your phrase, on the same page.
Very occasionally someone will go off the reservation though. Eg I was supposed to do something that no one wanted to do and when I woke up on the Sunday morning after going out on the Friday locked in a jail cell due in court the next day all I thought was "thank God I haven't got to do what I was supposed to do tomorrow" Then it was just a case of damage limitation, taking responsibility for my actions and accepting the consequences - which btw was completely worth it. Had to work out a future better solution of course.
If your system has always somehow worked in your best interests without hurting others to the best of your ability, even if the methods were sometimes unconventional then a dialogue and alignment will, fingers crossed, be possible - not necessarily easy or smooth, but definitely possible.
