I was born in former Yugoslavia. I knew there was war and I remember some things from it. We left to another country when I was 5.
Yesterday we watched a documentary with my parents and suddenly they mentioned there was a military airport near our home. They said military jets used to take off from there and sometimes it was very loud. I absolutely didn't remember that. I asked was I there too? And they said yes, you were.
They spoke about other things but I wasn't able to focus it was like they were talking far away and I heard their voices but didn't get the words.
Then I didn't get any memories but like shivers and electricity between my shoulder blades. And all my muscles tensed and I felt like a wooden puppet on strings.

Thanks for sharing this experience. Although you aren't able to remember these experiences, I would suspect they may be stored somewhere in non-conscious areas of your brain... which is, perhaps, why you had the reaction you did? I don't really know of course. But that would be my guess.

I was an only child. And as I grew into my teens, my parents would tell me about things that happened when I was too young to remember. So now, with some of the memories I have, I don't know if I actually remember them myself or if what I remember is what my parents told me years later.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
