I have memories of when I was very young (say 2 or 3 years old). But I
now believe that they are not real memories.  They are either memories
of memories, or memories that were created based on what others who
observed me at that age have said.  And to me, being an abstract person,
memories are simply mental fabrications of events as I observed them
anyway.

So I'm dubious of any memories brought back using hypnosis or other
techniques.  I heard once of a man who plead guilty to a murder, and
even claimed to remember doing it.  It was later shown that he was
innocent.  Yet somehow memories of this crime were created during the
interrogation, incarceration, and trial process.  Was a very interesting
story.  I wish I could find the details on that one again.
