Hidden mental image picture in mind (reactive mind or out-of-sight mind) containing pain and unconsciousness
An incident containing pain and unconsciousness.
A mental image picture of an experience containing pain, unconsciousness, and a real or fancied threat to survival; it is a recording in the Reactive Mind of something which actually happened to an individual in the past and which contained pain and unconsciousness, both of which are recorded in the mental image picture called an engram.
a recording made by the reactive mind when a person is "unconscious." An engram is not a memory – it is a particular type of mental image picture which is a complete recording, down to the last accurate detail, of every perception present in a moment of partial or full "unconsciousness."
The chemical intraneuronal representation of a memory.
Engrams are a hypothetical means by which memory traces are stored as physical or biochemical change in the brain (and other neural tissue) in response to external stimuli.
In Dianetics and Scientology, an engram is defined as an unconscious, painful memory. It is stored in the stimulus-response unconsciousness (the reactive mind) rather than as a normal memory.
