What were you like in the womb?

[FusionKnight]

Well?

 

[FF]

God, how should I know?

My mom says I was moving my hands and fingers up and down a lot. She made a joke and said I was going be a great piano player.

I'm no Mozart, but I do play piano quite excellently

I tried to claw myself out of my mother.

That's not nice.

Ummm Did you know we all access our memories of the Womb every time we fall asleep? It is a feature of the Hypnagogic Mental state (see Wiki). There was a fad a few decades back that involved "Womb" therapy, and I guess there was something of a revival of that therapy a few years back. There is a wide variety of 'experiences' available thru manipulation of the usually unconscious process of falling asleep (returning to Womb). Many of the Eastern philosophies are quite focused on re-capturing various and sundry infantile mental states, for example the NIDRA YOGA

Anyway, I just remember being weightless and comfortable, until those aliens in masks at the hospital abducted Me from my Mother's Womb...

This would indicate that our brain is developed sufficiently to allow the storing of memories when we are inside our mother's womb. Nice.

My previous post was eaten by the internet police. Try #2.

Here is my 3-D untrasound from 1974. Who knew they were that advanced back then?

His true home, I think.

Yes, but the 'experts' say that is impossible. We are not supposed to have that capacity for long-term memory until the age of 3-4 years old. Yet my memories extend all the way back. So, like, piss on the experts...

Although that does raise an interesting metaphysical dilemma. Should it ever be proven that memory can not exist until certain brain parts mature, where are those memories being stored, if not In the brain...?

Someone could argue that you have fabricated memories to take the place of those which are absent.

That is true. And of course, I can not prove my case. However, I have always had these memories. Of course after 50 years they are spotty. For example, I remember, how at the age of 14 months, I figured out how to steal my little sister's bottle and not get caught..

EDIT: actually, eventually I did get caught. My parents began to suspect me, so they started giving my little sister a different color of baby bottle. So one day they found me with a full pink-colored bottle in my mouth and an empty blue-colored bottle in my sister's crib...

I kicked my mom a lot, I think. I can't say that I remember it, but I can't say that I remember this morning too accurately. I was probably spending too much time daydreaming and making up fantasies about what my life would be like after I was born to take much stock of my surroundings, knowing me.

Is your recollection of the age accurate? Plus, is it possible that someone shared this story of when you were very young and you formed realistic visual images of it via your imagination?

Hmmmmmm

I guess it would be the great state of "fuck you".

 

[Anthile]

As a robot, I never was in a womb or something like that - just iron ore in the heart of a mountain. And if I am allowed to point that out, it would have been better for humanity if I would still slumber there.

 

[Artifice Orisit]

I remember being compiled, lots of beeping and whirring.

Of course that was my second birth.

 

[Kidege]

Lol. I'm told I moved too much and kicked real hard.

 

[FusionKnight]

Okay, every time that other thread makes it to the top of the list, I have to bump this one... (snicker)...
