If you're a soul in the early Age of Mortals (~29 SC), and you die, then you're brought back to life (say, by a powerful Mystic), would you recall how you (as a soul) were unable to reach the afterlife and how there was some sort of barrier in existence? Even more interesting, what if this resurrection occurred during the years of Waning Magic. Wouldn't this realization tip the recently resurrected individual off as to the causes for the drain on magic and perhaps lead him to the realization that someone or something is binding the dead to Krynn?

Probably not. The dead never retain their post morte memories when resurrected. BUT since Ressurection is such an uncommon, possibly impossible, thing in the novels we really don't know.
The Player's Handbook spell descriptions for Raise Dead, Resurrection, and True Resurrection are silent on the matter of post-mortrem retained memories. No help there.

In vol. 1 of the Kingpriest trilogy, Cathan is raised/resurrected and has no memory of what happened while he was dead.
In the War of Souls trilogy, both Dalamar and Palin were slain, and both seemed to remember what occurred post-mortem after being brought back. In fact, they spent most of the last novel dead and while dead kept right on adventuring.
I'm of the mind that absent a specific passage stating memory loss, a dead person brought back to life would recall just what happened while he was dead.
I think that memory loss is more likely to occur when characters are ressurected because of the precedent set in the Kingpriest novels. The other resurections were done by Gods and so not truly bound by the limitations of mortals ;)
