Re: Why does the brain remember?
I think everything is buried in the subconscious. I was told by my mother that when I was about 2 years old I fell into a weir in Walkern in Hertfordshire. My grandfather had to jump in up to his waist fully clothed to rescue me. I had no memory of this but in 2008 during our trip to UK, I visited Walkern and asked around if their was a weir somewhere. Most of the people were relatively new to the area but eventually we met an old fellow mowing a church lawn. He pointed me at some thick bushes across the road and I grabbed a camera and pushed my way about 50 metres through until suddenly I saw a green encrusted stone weir! My reaction was fear! I have swum all over the world. Never been afraid of water but my instant reaction was to pull back in alarm. It made me wonder how far back the subconscious memory goes.Re: Why does the brain remember?

His tonsils were like a pink conker on a long fleshy string.Re: Why does the brain remember?

When my husband lost his arm in an industrial accident back in 1987 he says he has no recollection of the accident happening. I think his brain must have shut down so it could work on his survival perhaps?Re: Why does the brain remember?
