like there's something you know,you should know, but you don't. It happens to me every time I come across the subject of aliens and ufos. I just feel like there's something, something in my head maybe, something I know but can't remember, and I search constantly for it but I never find it and it drives me insane. I don't know if it makes sense, I can't describe it. It's sort of how the main character in close encounters has this image in his head that he can't figure out, he knows he should know it but he can't and he becomes obsessed with it.

I feel I don't remember what I know that I'm not supposed to if it's any coorolation or however you spell it.

I get that feeling all of the time. I find myself always trying to think of something because I always feel like I'm forgetting something. Sometimes I'll tune people out when they are talking to me because my mind starts its thinking process but in the end I'm always drawing a blank.

That's not really what I mean. It's really hard to explain. It's not that I forget something, it feels like something is missing, like something should be there but it's not and I don't know what it is. It's not just in my memories,too, if I read or watch anything about ufos I find myself searching for something that I don't know what it is, and no matter how much I read or watch I never find it. It's driving me insane.

Like its right on the tip of your tongue kind of feeling. Know it well. Relax, one day it will come to the front, and, maybe you dont want to know what it is. A self defense mechanism for a reason.

Yes,exactly! Right now I don't care how bad it is, I need to know or I will literally go insane.

I get the same feeling too.

Sometimes i do...

i cant remember !

Is this like the feeling, that you have locked memories or knowledge in your head, that you feel is there and seems almost to reveal itself to you but never really does?

yes

Yeah, that's sort of like how I momentary forget how to spell simple words like "the".

except with me it lasts for a long time, and I don't even know what I've forgotten.

I do not feel it to be a dumb topic.
Sorry, but I feel your response here MOST DISTASTEFUL.

I have had those feelings for all my life.
It may be nothing but a false sense of something that is there, but is not.
I have certainly had many many experiences where I could have been given knowledge in a most extraordinary way, that remains inside my head.
But until I get some sort of proof that this is what it is, I have always brushed it off.

I think you may have misinterpreted my remark. I was just commenting on how I experience something similar to that. If it's the emoticon that bothered you, he was rolling his eyes at me, not the original poster. Sorry if I caused any unintentional reactions.

Then I must appologize too.
Sorry.
The rolling eyes and when you used the simple word "the", I interpreted it to be a negative response..
