Its some sort of deja-vu.

I'm often surprised that I find my memory triggered by the most subtle things. Like the smell in the air. Like seeing an old car.

Most times though, I'm not able to trace where the memories were triggered from. I'm glad that you were able to do this, it makes the experience more powerful.

Here's a tip that I try to do after each time I find myself thinking about the past - I think about how far I have come since then. Think about your furniture then, your clothes, outlook, etc. I think you will find that you will trigger alot of other different memories.
