The sun beating on my brow, in my stroller, scuttling down the sidewalk with my chauffeur. It was one of those dreams within a dream trances as I gazed upon the Chesapeake, the sun dispersed among the infinite ripples of the bay. I sat quietly, experiencing samadhi in all its bliss. Nothingness in all its glory! I was 2

That was beautiful man. I wish I could re-experience the beauty and the wonder of childhood again; feeling what it's like to just pop into existence. That's how LSD makes me feel; like I'm alive for the very first time, having just been born, taking nothing for granted, and in awe and amazement of life itself.

I can remember fragments of my childhood, some dating back to when I was in kindergarten (so I'd say about three or four-ish). They were weird memories, not bad, but not good either.

As a kid I didn't have a memory that I paid attention to, I remembered details about things but never about myself. It's a little bit the same these days, but now that I have a history/past I can remember things about myself, usually mistakes I have made, but when I get feelings of nostalgia, they're always good memories and are weirdly psychedelic.

When the experience ended, (revivification is not memory, it is reliving an event), it had been so psychotic a break from ordinary reality, that I couldn't understand upon opening my eyes why I was seeing a 19 year, 360 day old guy and not an infant. Stan Grof would understand, most people would not believe this. It was pre-verbal, crushingly suffocating, primally terrifying, and yet powerfully polymorphously sexual. The Eros balanced the Thanatos, Life outweighed Death.

After that: Being held by one of my parents as a baby and receiving my first injection, probably polio vaccine. I screamed, and my mother said "Oh, the doctor accidentally stuck you with his pen." I knew that old glass syringe with the needle was no pen. :nono:

My first memory... I think... is of when I must have been two years old and I'm looking into my baby sister's cradle/crib and seeing her for the first time with one, maybe two of our pet dogs leaning over the railing and looking at her too, next to me.

From what I recall my earliest memory was of my climbing up my attic ladder when I was 4 or 5 and my mom telling me to climb down. I started to climb down slipped, fell and slammed my head into a marble table. Then I remember having a bloody green dishcloth on the back of my head in an old ford Taurus on the way to get staples in my head. For years I always thought my mom pushed me. But does anyone have their memory triggered by smell?

This is how magic is done. By hurling yourself into the abyss and discovering its a feather bed.”

Think wayyy back as far as you can remember. What's the earliest memory that you have? How old were you, approximately? Was it a good memory or was it a bad memory? (I'll tell you mine later.) Have you noticed a difference in your memories as you got older; I mean do you tend to remember the bad stuff more than the good, nowadays?

I was sitting in my blue, corduroy umbrella stroller at an ice cream shop with my grandparents.  I spilled vanilla ice cream on my doll's head.  I thought it would stain forever.  I had to be maybe three years old at most.

I was around 3 probably.  I remember a vivid image of looking up at windows covered by blinds while the sun was streaming in, creating a dappled contrast between the light and shadow.

My next earliest memory is probably when I was 4, running around in a playground at a park.  The sudden realization that "I" existed, or that I was a thinking, aware being with self-consciousness struck me abruptly and for the first time.  :eek:

My earliest memory is of a time I was a toddler, standing in my crib, holding onto the top rail and wondering.  I don't know how old I was but I'm sure it was around a year.

I recall, very vividly, how I was just idly speculating about life-force; specifically the life-force that powered my own existence, and wondering how many existences it had powered before mine, and how many more it would go on to power.

I'm pretty sure that I couldn't speak or understand the spoken language yet; and yet I was having this speculation and very matter-of-factly so.  It didn't seem at all special to me, yet this memory has surfaced out of the blue many times, seemingly every year or so and then fades and I forget about it until the next time.

The next earliest memory I have is a bit more traumatic.  I was 3-1/2 and my sister had just been born.  This was in '42 and America was now at war.  My dad, a professional army officer, was home on leave for the event; but I was living in Minneapolis, MN with my paternal grandparents due to marital problems between my parents.

My dad wanted me to join them (in Augusta, GA)  but my grand-dad could not travel.  So, they compromised:  They bought one ticket, tied it to my suit, and took me down to the train station.  In those days, every train station in the country was filled with soldiers on the move.  They looked around, found a young NCO who was headed south, and put me in his care before saying adios.

You're damn right, I was terrified!  I clung to that NCO until midway, when he turned me over to another who was going closer to my destination, and I clung to the new guy until we did it again for the last time.

I probably had a good time, but the dominant memory I have is terror at being abandoned and having no idea how to contact my family. 

Somehow, I survived intact.  Well, relatively...

Thinking back on my childhood its a wonder how clear and direct a lot of my early contemplations were, throughout the years I basically took the same approach to examining life as I do now. Its a wonder that this species is capable of reflection on its own existence and anything pertaining to it, yet consistently fucks up everything as a whole.

Had a psychology of children class in the early 80s. The professor said that our earliest memories are often based on smell.

When I was a little kid, like around the age of 4, my mom used to go grocery shopping at this store that was down the street. The area where you grab your cart from had a very unique smell to it. A decade and a half later, I went to an indoor skatepark which was formerly a grocery store. The back room near the bathrooms had a very unique smell to it. It had the exact same smell that the store my mom used to go to. It's crazy how your brain remembers scents so well. I've had a lot of memory flashbacks caused by scents.
