Please excuse me if this is not expressed particularly clearly,as I
am remembering something I have heard and read about a long, long
way back, but (?)neuropsychologists have it pretty much concrete
that *all* our memories are stored not as if we were looking at them
through our eyes, but rather as if we were watching a film with
ourselves as the central star.

That was a great post, so thank you very much.

It makes me wonder what Harry would see if he put one of his own memories in a Pensieve and then fell into the Pensieve.  So far, we have only seen Harry experience the memories of others (Snape and Dumbledore).  Naturally, he sees these memories through his own eyes.

But his dreams are different, aren't they?  In GoF, Harry sees himself flying around on a broom.  And when he is confronted with a dementor, he seems to see things through his own eyes.  I wonder what that all means?
