    Generic memory. He lifted it straight from Dune specifically, though it’s a common enough trope.

    In Dune some have access to their parents’ memories up to the point of conception. At one point Paul is talking to his mother in real life and has his mother in his head at the same time.

      up to the point of conception

      So it cuts off right as your dad ejaculates? Or the fusion of the gametes to give rise to a zygote?

      Either way, too much erect dad penis in your memory, if you ask me 😬😆

        Presumably it cuts off at the moment your daddy’s balls manufacture the sperm cell, which would be a bit beforehand. But you still get all the memories of him at 13, furiously hogging the jergens in the bathroom while thinking about his cousin’s nip slip at Easter dinner or whatever.
