I've been pondering how my memory works.
For some things like basic educational learning and skills, it's like my mind records it in step by step instruction. In algebra I use to get in trouble for not being able to prove my work. I just knew the answer but didn't know how I knew. My teacher would give me "extra tests" to prove I wasn't cheating. I would have to stay after class for a few minutes and answer 2-4 algebra equations he wrote up just for me. I couldn't possibly cheat on it. And they would be long and complicated. I would just write x=52 within seconds. I couldn't tell you how or why though.
With memories of events, they are all encoded in a metaphor. I have to solve the metaphors.
If I ask in my head about where I got my dog for example, I get images of long rooms with portals openning. A dark figure comes in and places a box on the floor and vanishes. I have to figure out that my father brought the dog home. Then I get the real memory back. That I was sitting on the living room floor, watching tv, and he came in the front door with a dog under his arms and set it on the floor.
My brain doesn't hold memories like other people.
That really sucks.
