I see memories as snapshots, with those the most emotionally powerful being the ones that are remembered the most vividly. My experience as a Rebirther seemed to support this. I observed many people who couldn't remember a lot of details about their past in general, but remembered very astute details about traumatic, or otherwise emotionally intense, events.
