The earliest memory I possess is when I was a baby, crawling around on the floor when it was night time. Found a flash light and got freaked out by the light on the ceiling because I thought it was a giant skull. Plus, Winnie the Pooh in the dark was pretty terrifying. My parents opened the door and put me back in my crib, but I crawled out and started crying again. They thought I was just being a baby and left me alone. I related the experience later, and they were shocked to know that I remembered in such detail this particular experience. Infants are much more intelligent than people give them credit for. I would not really say that the experience has anything to do with comfort or insecurity; it was just a multitude of fears that seemed rational through infant eyes. Even though I personally can't see it, do you think an experience like this would have a psychological impact on who I became over time?
