Associations

It's wierd how different things/events/objects/songs, etc. become associated with other things/events/objects/songs, etc., so that when one is seen/experienced, we have a "flashback" to an event in the past. In my case (and probably for many others), emotional flashbacks of this type tend to be prompted by songs.

For instance, listening to Ozzy Osbourne's "Mama I'm Comin' Home" triggers a strong "emotional memory" of eating those pizza pocket things on weekends at Jason's home in high school.

Wierd.
