Re: Memory
My earliest clear memory would have been from when I was about 18 months. My mother had taken me ion my pram for a walk around Christchurch Priory, where I unscrewed one of the good holding nuts and threw it in the river much to my mother's chagrin.Less sure, I have a vague memory of amorphous floating in a peach coloured nothingness which I wonder whether to not it is a prenatal memory.

It probably sticks in my memory because it was also the first time I was ever smacked. The street was cobbled and I scuffed my new shoes so mother slapped my legs.

Re: Memory
I'm not sure how old I was, but I remember being left outside in a shady spot in the garden. I was laid in my pram under an overhanging bush. It was years later that I realised that the bush was a Lilac, I can still see the bush and the location quite clearly. I believe that most fine days I was put in the same spot so it became very familiar to me.15-11-2020, 12:22 AM

Re: Memory
Although some people claim they can remember being born, it is impossible to do so. The infant brain is not capable of processing enough information to enable ongoing memory of the event. There are a lot of theories about this subject. You could look into infantile amnesia and other theories.Here is a useful link to get you started.

Re: Memory
I remember vividly from about two and a half. I didn't realise it was unusual until I grew up. I don't remember being born but I used to remember my feelings from before consciousness when I was little. An intensely wonderful place, I can't describe it, a lightness & vibrance. Life here is so difficult, we don't realise because we are in it. I also have a phobia of constricted spaces, perhaps a memory of the trauma of birth. Nothing serious but I sometimes used to dream of it. Not recently but it was not a fun dream.|
