Re: Memories
Fri, January 25, 2008 - 11:10 AMI don’t remember how old I was, but I must have been a baby. I couldn’t walk yet. I fell off the bed and got lost under it. I recognized my fathers boots at the edge of the bed and that’s how I was able to find my way out. I was half asleep too.

Re: Memories
Fri, January 25, 2008 - 4:41 PMMost of my memories start at age 6.
But I have one memory from age 2. I was knocked over by a wave at the beach and went under water. I didn't know I should close my eyes and saw white swirling water. I thought that this was it. I didn't know the concept of death yet, but I thought it was the end, almost an instinctual knowing of death. I saw long legs running out to me just before I went under, and was promptly picked up by my father, so it was not actually a life threatening moment. But I remembered it as if it were.

Sun, January 27, 2008 - 11:42 PMAbout 2 years of age. We lived in apartments behind my grandmother's house. My Grandma and Grandpa owned them and I remember a fig tree that I loved to climb and a fish pond my Grandpa built. I love to think about watching the little water wheel turned by a small water fall in that pond. These are my earliest memories and I was so happy.

Tue, April 1, 2008 - 10:43 AMnobody will belive this, but i remember being born, the first memory after that is looking up out of my crib and seeing the sunbeams and yawning and sort of watching my body do things on its own, then around 1 1/2 i was learning to walk, i remember my fathers hands wrapping all the way around my chest when he picked me up and setting me in his boots which hurt but made me laugh and i tried to take a step but the foot wouldnt work right and the boot was so big i could walk inside it sort of, lol. -

Re: Memories
Tue, April 1, 2008 - 10:44 AMdoes anybody have memories like being inside the holodeck, like being able to literally RE live the experience of something, like being there again with full color, sound, smell, tactile sensation? some of my earlier memories are like that.

Re: Memories
Fri, April 11, 2008 - 1:15 AMMaybe 18 months? My (single) mom and I lived in a cavelike basement apartment in Crockett a few blocks from the C&H sugar factory. I can remember her feeding me in a high chair with the TV on in the background. I also recall playing in a tiny plastic pool in the backyard on a separate occasion around that time.
My next memory is from about 2, maybe 2.5 years. We stayed with my Grandma for a couple months before moving to Oregon. It's not a real-time memory, but a dream I had. I dreamt I was lying in my crib with the Sesame Street characters (notably Big Bird) standing around it. My mom came into the room to sing to me, and she climed into the crib to hold me. She next climbed out of the crib on to the window sill, and jumped out, flying up to the sky to turn into a star. I do recall waking up from the dream crying for my mom.
