Every moment of your life is recorded in your mind with full perceptions and a time tag and is /potentially/ accessible.
Dianetics posits it's pain and unconsciousness that obscures memories, and if you contact and discharge them, memories return (http://www.dianetics.org).
Personally, I found this to be true. It's very interesting (and pleasurable) to recover a "forgotten" experience in a Dianetics session, which you can do by twinning up with another person that's read Dianetics, or by getting a free intro session at a local Scientology organization.
