Not moreso of a thought, morelike a question. But it still is in relation.

What was your first memory?

I see this as a scientific thought because it ties in with my other question (which I'll post soon) about memories. Some people live for years and they never remember or even realize being a baby. Then, one day, it's just like you woke up from a sleep, and you begin to realize and remember things.

When you think about it, if someone never could remember anything, their life would be much like that... You would never realize what your life is... Kindof scary, actually...

That seem to be the situation I'm in I guess because I have no memories of babyhood hmm.

I remember being born.... I remember most of my entire life sometimes I forget things when im trying to get like 200 things done at one time hmmm well honestly I can say I didnt realy forget I just couldnt remember on time. heheheheh given enough time I can remember the names of every person I have ever met and alot of other weird information I just have to stop and think alot smile.gif I dont think people ever forget things I think they just tend to loose hmmmm coherency with them by that I mean its like there are roads in your mind and you have a nice map but your mind is the size of new york city so some people have a hard time connecting to everything unsure.gif

You remember being BORN?I thought that was impossible.

My brother has an excellent memory (he knows SO much about history) and he claims he can remember being born... quite frankly, I'm skeptical.

Heheheh no its true quite odd and very traumatic I tell you probably the reason most people do not odd that your brother knows his history quite well becouse we share another commonality then hehehehe I passed a history test in American history after being sick for two weeks I came in didnt know there was a test and I scored an 98% on the test smile.gif although I have to say I have a bad habbit of reading most text books in the first week of class....

Well, scientists say *most* people cannot remember before age 2

I can remember the layout of every house/mobile home/apartment we've ever owned (New York(1), North Carolina(1), Texas(2) ) as well as the roads, places around them. Its as if I were still there.

@M$ Agent #2: It's incredibly difficult for me to retain information on things I'm not interested in, which is a fairly long list.

I can remember many dreams I have for years. I can remember most dreams so well that I can dream about the same thing again, play out the dream KNOWING what's going to happen next, and change it around a bit.

I actually have control in my dreams, almost as if I was really there. It's not a sub-conscience "What would I do", more of a "What I CHOOSE to do"... if you know what I mean.

That's good, you're a lucid dreamer, I can't do that. I very rarely have a dream and remember it. When I do have a dream it's more complex than I could ever begin to explain.

I ocassionally have Lucid dreams, they're fun.
