If you were real young you might not have "memories" like adults do because you didn't have enough words to think of it/remember it in that way. Everything in our head is "words" so young children mostly have feelings for memories, sometimes even those are "vague" since you'd have to know what "fear" felt like to put that connection to it. So one's body gets in there for children, how your body "felt" when you woke to your parents loud voices. You know how babies "startle" at a loud noise? Kind of like that but a little less diffuse since you had some words.

I have weird TV reactions (and subsequently change the channel and %#@&#! off anyone "watching" with me because I change it right at the main emotional points of a drama or whatever, LOL :-) I use to skip paragraphs or even pages in a book rather than read them! How dumb is that?
