not always flashbacks can come without feelings. I think of flashbacks good and bad as reliving the experience. its hard to tell that the situation that I am seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, smellig isn't relly happening in the present. Where as a non flashback memoy I can think about it like doing my dishes this morning. I know I did the dishes and I can think about how I did them but Im not reliving as if it was happening right at this moment.
