My oldest son and his father

Ah. Linda Gert.

I'm curious though. How do you experience memories/knowledge of visual things? For example if you remember that someone has long black hair I assume this is more similar to reading about a character with long black hair in a book rather than seeing someone with your own eyes? Or is it completely different from both?

EDIT: Sorry, I just saw you already talked about things like that elsewhere in this thread.
