Have you guys ever had something happen to you that it flashes back now and then? For example, I broke my arm when I was 11 and everytime someone is injured before my eyes it comes back to me and I can sorta remember the pain. It just happened yesterday when my friend was skateboarding and broke his wrist. I just want to know if these kind of things happen to everyone, not just me.
-
I get flashbacks all the time. Heck, somehow when I think of something due to being in a situation, I end up thinking the exact same thing next time I get into that situation.
-
I mean like something shocking. When you remember the pain from seeing something like it. Or watching people scream on a roller coaster, and you remember the feeling.
-
I'm not sure if I've experienced anything shocking enough.
-
M'kay. Well, I'm sure there are people here who have. I remember the time I was almost run over by a speeding car "hiding" behind a bus, so whenever I see a speeding car, I think of that moment.
-
Well... A lot of my memory(s) are based on scents; it's like, Adventureland in Disneyland has this uique smell, and I'm reminded of the whole place every time I catch of whiff of something similar. And old cigarette stench on upholstry (or something) instantly brings to mind hotel rooms and used cars.
-
I don't really get flashbacks per se, but deja vu does occur quite often.
For some reason this also reminds me of another thing that happens a lot: Ever watch someone eat a Warhead, or you're about to eat one yourself, and as you're thinking about that warhead being in your mouth, your tongue suddenly explodes with a soury taste, even though there is nothing in your mouth (world's longest sentence)? I love that. It happens every time I'm about to eat some ice cream or sour stuff, without fail.
-
Yeah, I can taste something even when I haven't eaten it in a while if it the taste is strong enough.

Smell is the sense most closely tied to memory.

Yeah, the smell of old Band-aids or capho makes me think of my grandfather.
-
I remember most things in pretty good detail, it is a talent of mine if something happens around me at all, it doesn't have to be significant or anything.

That can't be true as my sense of smell in nonexistent. Dead serious about this, though. I suppose you could say I'm deaf in the nose.
-
I hear the sense of smell and the sense of taste are closely connected as well...
-
My sense of smell has been slightly dulled, along with my vision. To make up for it, I have sharp-as-a-whistle hearing!
-
Uh, The Chef, it might not be true for YOU, but since you can't smell anything you aren't part of the statement.
If I said that smell was the sense most closely tied to smelling stuff, and then you said that can't be true, you would be using pretty much the same reasoning, which is horribly flawed.
-
I have a bad sense of sight and hearing, but my taste is great! :D

They are; my uncle fell off a hill when he was a kid and lost both. He's a terrific cook, despite that, and a couple of years ago they've begun to come back to him.
Having no sense of smell would suck for me... how could I tell when garlic was somewhere nearby? I also can tell the difference between sodas before anyone takes a sip, which may have saved a gulp of Dr Pepper for me tonight. Losing my sense of taste, oooohhh.... that's a nightmarish idea.
I can't really say anything interesting about my senses... I'm average and boring. I think I'm left-ear-dominant, though, while in everything else I am right-dominant.
