I'm not sure if its the same but sometimes when I have a vivid memory, whatever emotions I had in the memory are prominent at real time. And they just appear out of the blue. if one is happy i tend to start to giggle where ever I maybe, so even at work...... I don't drive all the time but I have noticed sometimes I get rather spacey and yeah there was one time I hit the accelerator when I had an angry memory, but then told myself to calm down due to it wasn't in real time, and I need to keep no points goal for this year.
I'm not sure if that's the same. Or if any help
