idk what to call it/what to name the thread..

but, have you ever heard a noise or done something that trigger you remembering a memory from your past you forgot about? not necessarily a bad memory, just a random one you forgot about/havent thought about in a while.. Its usually noises/songs that do it for me..

anyone know what imean ?

smoking high grade marijuana used to unlock parts of my memory that I forgot existed. First time I got really high I was able

to vividly recall details of the house I grew up in. that I wasn't able to previously.

Music reminds me of Exes and places I've been too.

yeah this just happened to me i smelled cinnamon today and recalled some obscure memory that i had when i was like 7 where my neighbors mom made us bread with cinnamon and butter and sugar

i have the weirdest memory i can remember so many things... but i guess it's just what triggers the memory

i think my psych teacher told us about this study where drunk people were taught things and best recalled the information when they were drunk again... and several different scenarios but i think the point of the study was to show that you can recall things better when you are in the same state of mind

memory is crazy how it works

Every time I hear a lawn mower from a far distance it always takes me back to this beautiful day if not the best day I've ever seen or had when I was about 15. The entire neighborhood came out to play basketball and football. We were out from 10am to midnight playing. While we were playing football on this big field , it was the sound of this lawn mower, somebody cutting grass on that perfect day. It was like 80 degrees with a breeze without a cloud in the sky. I hate that I ever grew up every time I go back to this day. If I could chose my heaven, that would be it. That entire day, the setting, the sounds..... it was perfect.

Bought a pack of gum once and gave it away, said it "tasted like bad times" but couldn't figure why. Hit me later that it tasted just like jail toothpaste.
