So, what would be the basic case of a character getting hit on the head and losing a bunch of memories? EasyAmnesia or LaserGuidedAmnesia? --DocumentN

Does this trope exist: a character gets a lot of memories (after amnesia, previous lives, someone else), in a short time, often with a kaleidoscopic effect? Examples: [[spoiler:Duncan]] in ''[[{{Dune}} Heretics of Dune]]'', [[spoiler:the end of Light's MemoryGambit]] in ''DeathNote'', [[spoiler:Jackson Lake]] in a recent ''DoctorWho''. —Cigaes
