Is it normal to get overwhelming strange feelings when i think of a memory?

This doesn't happen on a regular basis, but at random times. Today, it happened when I first awoke. It's difficult to explain but when I think about a specific detail of a certain time in my past, I get a overwhelming weird/strange/excited/nervous/anxious/relaxing trance-like feeling. And it's only when I think about myself in first person in the memory. Example being this morning, I remembered the off-white colored shower walls of my old best friend/neighbor's new home. This was 10-15 years ago and I just get this warm, weird feeling when I think of standing there and looking at the shower walls. I don't remember any people, nor any further details. Just the shower walls. But it gives me a positive sense of being in my past and I get such a strange feeling, though I try to continue thinking about it because the feeling is pleasant. Anyone else experience this?

    I get this. I can only describe it as a childlike euphoric feeling.

    Absolutely normal!!! The same thing happens to me...
    these are just memories that your are fond of..in other word you miss your youth or you wish you could just go back and relive all the things you did in the past!!
