visualising places from your distant past
recently, i realised that i spent a large part of my mental time visualising my friend's house from when i was a kid, namely the hall and landing. Not seen the guy since i was about 7, but this image of me moving through this 10 metre path, just going backwards and forwards around this tiny area. And the weird thing is, i didn't even notice i was doing it until one day i thought "crikey, how long have i been doing this?" I couldn't remember a time when i hadn't spent long periods of each day visualising his house.
As i became more aware that i was doing it i stopped. Or at least i thought i'd stopped. But no, i just replaced the image with another image, these steps leading down to a beach from when i went on holiday aged about 13. Don't remember anything else about it, it wasn't an epiphanical moment in my life, it was just some place i walked through for a 2 week period 10 years ago. And same thing, i didn't realise i was visualising it until i'd been doing it for a long time.
As far as i know, these are the only two places where this sort of thing has happened. But why these, what is so special about these two places?
so yeah, this thread has no point. Except to highlight my faulty brain
