My first post.
So, I have this early memory of being in the car with my mom and dad. I'm in the back seat and I'm leaning towards the middle of the front seat. We are going down a big hill towards a large body of water. The water is the result of a flood & it has eclipsed the road. I become very anxious & quite frightened as we get closer.
Here's where it gets strange - I was telling a cousin about this "memory" a couple of years ago & my mom overhears. She presses for details & I give what I can.
She tells me that it is her memory. Never happened to me.
So, did I just hear my mother tell this story once, or were one or some of her memories passed to me in the womb?
I think the first explanation is the truer, but dammit if it doesn't seem like my own memory. I mean, I can see the sights and experience the emotions of that moment.
Funny how the mind can become convinced of things given time.
