Of course!. Certain sensory things (smells, sounds, sights, tastes) remind me of specific things!.

For example:
- The song "Build Me Up Buttercup" always reminds me of my mom baking/cooking, singing along to the radio, and energetically dancing around the kitchen with a wooden spoon in her hand!.
- The smell of lilacs always reminds me of a walkway I used to take every day!. It was lined on both sides with 10 ft tall, light purple lilac trees!. When they were in bloom, they smelled and looked beautiful!. (I don't know if they're still there!.)Www@QuestionHome@Com

Smell or Olfaction is the sense that triggers the most memories!. Happens to me all the time!.

There is tons of information all of the Internet about it !. It's really quite interesting!.

Here's a couple sites!.
