I've lost the visual memories, but I remember having memories from an early time, short glimpses. Things like trying to repeat words and the grownups not being patient enough and moving onto the next word before I could attempt to speak. Faint memories of my first steps, walking from my father to my mother, being proud, stuff like that. I remember a particular new year's eve, the grownups were dancing and I was in a crib alone, feeling left out. I remember not liking to wake up in the dark, being scared and crying for mom to get in, or the sensation of having a soiled diaper. People don't believe that I remember. My brother is the same, we still hold onto some distinct memories from really early on, although the specifics are getting muddled and eroded.

Wow, I always thought I had abnormally early memories, but nothing like this. Do you have these memories only from being very young? Or are the glimpses there from infant up to now?

  Unfortunately, I'd forgotten a lot from my school years. There are of course moments, some more vivid than others, but I can't really remember my classmates, teachers, school activities and such anymore. I don't really reminisce a lot, maybe I could dig up the memories if I had someone else from that period to talk to.

During a psychedelic trip, I had similar memories of how difficult speaking was in early childhood. It made me quite proud afterwards that I had finally managed to master speaking. During the same trip, I also heard my mother as if my mental dictionary of sounds was made of her voice.

I remember being carried around, having diapers changed on some table in a bathroom. "Oh back here again", I started to think. I am not kidding, of course I did not think that in words, but just the familiarity of it happening over and over. I believe those are true memories.
