Yeah I get a lot dreams of persecution too. Not ever from family but mostly people from my past in school.
I wonder what would happen if we really could take a drug or get an operation to delete painful memories. Ever saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? I don't think it would be that straightforward though. It might be like deleting important files with the operating system still up. Weird unpredictable dangerous stuff could happen. Like it or not our memories define who we are - they are inextricably tied to our core logic. Remember Star Trek 5? Our pain makes us who we are, or so Kirk said. I wonder.
