What's your earliest memory?

[reeay]

I love reading these first memories, they all have a dream like quality that is soothing in a way (except Monica being locked out the potty room). They sound surreal.

They are a dream of sorts. Consider that memory may be edited throughout your life based on your changing world views (e.g., our beliefs, generalized beliefs about self, our values) and emotional state, and that our brains only become capable of encoding memories around age 2-3 years old (we're not physically capable of remembering younger than 2-3 because the brain is not sufficiently developed for our memory capabilities to work). It is possible that these events did happen and did not happen.

So the utility of early memories may be in the archetypal information that you may elicit from them, and that may be used to deepen your understanding about self in this current moment. Kinda like a chapter in your self- mythology
