Were you dreams very vivid as a child?: Yes, and they still are.
What is the strangest memory you have from early childhood?: The night I started to become terrified of spiders. Giant spider on my wall, so my mom comes and kills it. Ten minutes later, a spider nearly identical to the last one appears in the same spot. I thought it came back.
Were you a child prodigy or did you display any gifts at a young age?: I started playing guitar at 6 years old. According to my father, I was freakishly good at that age. I dunno.
