Am I the only one who remembers the "black void"? Before my first visual memory I was feeling something and nothing at the same time, it was like a black void that lasted a moment.
My ex-girlfriend told a similar story. Her mum had chosen a "natural" home birth without anaesthetic.
Years later, soon after learning to speak, the baby girl (my ex) kept talking about going back into the warm, dark, safe room.
By the time she and I were in a relationship, it was unclear whether it was her own memory, or just what her mother had repeated back to her over the years. But the story has stuck, and it does make me think deeply about life.
I don't know what you refer to. But I have some kind of memory that I think may be from the womb. It is very hard to put into words, but something similar to waking up from sleep. Just a memory of consciousness.
Even if this memory may not be real, just "remembering" it makes me dizzy, because it feels like it is a memory from when the light was turned on inside me, so to say. A very strange feeling.
