Dreams V Memories

[Orionaut]

Is this unusual?

I have a ****-load of memories that I cannot place.

They may be dreams, but they may also possibly be memories of actual distant long forgotten events.

Some of these "Memories" go back a very long way (Pre-teens)

Some of them are nevertheless very vivid.

(I should point out that I am in my mid-50's, I would not expect somebody in their 20's/30-'s to have similar concerns)

There is nothing particularly nasty here, It is just that I am troubled that I don't seem to be able to trace these memories to other events in my life!

The discontinuity is actually very disturbing.

Does anybody else experience this or is it really just me?

Go home you're drunk

That is the easy explanation.

It doesn't work however!

(On the occasions,When to my shame, I was in the habit of drinking myself into oblivion (20 years ago) I could still nevertheless do a pretty good rendition of Eratosthenes sieve (Prime numbers). It was the way my boozing buddy's kept me conscious! (How far up the sieve can you go?)

(Most of them didn't know what I was talking about but it did the job anyway)

I know when I am Drunk!

These memories are not the same!

They are real memories! Whether they are memories of actual events or whether they are memories of dreams I do not know.

THAT is the problem!
