Alex,
Yes, you're right about it being "unexplained", so that my feeling is confused, angry frustration, and my response scattershot. I’ll try New History Generator in the manner you describe. I have a lot of childhood amnesia and the paraliminals may indeed be tapping into a bottled memory. Or not. ("Ah-ha" moments are welcome; even when they're painful at first, they’re rewarding in the end.)
Either way, I'll bear in mind that I ain't broke! Like a lot of people, I’ve labored under the false belief that gremlins within are out to get me. Thanks for reminding me and everyone who reads this that the unconscious mind is on the side of the angels.
Danielle
