I have no idea why I remember this. Its literally my second memory in life and it happened before I was put in foster home, so I can’t have been older than 5 most likely 4.
I was in my grandmother’s living room. And on a table I see a candle. But instead of a flame on top theres a tiny wax figure of some fruit. Curious I decide to touch it, but when I do it falls over, and the living room starts burning! And theres where I woke up, I think.
I got a feeling this was more than just a dream. Regret I wasn’t able to confirm that before my biological grandmother and mother died. I had time but I never did ask.
I got a few other non-dream memories from back then too. Three of those I’ve confirmed later that was true. So I know its possible to form permanent memories at that age.
Yeah, some of my most vivid and detailed memories are from when I was 4. It’s interesting to see that there’s such variance in when peoples brains seem to start recording memories

It’s definitely possible. I have been able to accurately describe a few things from about age 3 or 4 onward.

It is interesting! I know someone who can’t remember anything until age 8. The brain must have been recording but she is unable to access it.
