Continuing the subject of dreams, I have a good one.
My earliest memory is of a dream, I kid you not. I know because it takes place in a room of a house that I have no other memories of, that my family moved out of when I was like 2. I revisited the house when I was older and recognized the room from the dream.
Anyways, it's night-time and I'm sitting up in my crib (I clearly see the bars). There was this big rug in the shape of a teddy bear, or a panda bear, black and white. The rug hung on the wall. In my dream it got down from the wall, walked over, glancing at me, then passed to my left, maybe out the window that was there. That's all it was, but the memory is burned into my mind really clearly.
To this day I am creeped out by giant teddy bears, seriously.
Chelsea told me a crazy dream, anyone else got one?
That's really interesting, I've never known of anyone else who identified a dream as an earliest memory. The only dream I even remember from childhood is one in which the world was like a giant 3-D Candyland (do you remember the game from childhood?) board. I was pretty excited to be in that world as an eight-year-old! Candy everywhere, a child's delight.
