Only 80 known cases of highly superior autobiographical memory (HSAM) exist. What's it like to remember almost everything that’s ever happened to you? Rebecca Sharrock shares her experience—and how her dreams revealed an incredible feature of HSAM. 

A few curiosities you’ll uncover in this episode:

  • How she uses scent to relive positive memories
  • Rebecca’s first memory…at just 12 days old
  • What her dreams helped reveal about her memory

Did You Know?

To help her quiet the memories in her mind, Rebecca goes to Harry Potter for help. At night, she quietly recites passages to herself, distracting her brain long enough to fall asleep.
