Bran parece ser incapaz de lembrar os eventos antes da queda.
Tyrion perguntou a ele sobre isso em suas viagens de volta da parede.
(Tyrion) "Tell me, how is it you happened to fall that day?"
"I never," Bran insisted. He never fell, never, never never.
"The child does not remember anything of the fall, or the climb that came before it," said Maester Luwin gently. - A Game of Thrones: Chapter 24, Bran IV
Durante seu coma ele se lembra de algumas coisas, mas o Corvo de Três Olhos diz a ele que não é importante:
Bran was staring at his arms, his legs. He was so skinny, just skin stretched taut over bones. Had he always been so thin? He tried to remember. A face swam up at him out of the grey mist, shining with light, golden. "The things I do for love," it said. Bran screamed.
The crow took to the air, cawing, Not that, it shrieked at him. Forget that, you do not need it now, put it aside, put it away. It landed on Bran's shoulder, and pecked at him, and the shining golden face was gone. - A Game of Thrones: Chapter 17, Bran III
Além disso, pouco depois, Bran sonha em escalar;
... He forced himself to climb faster. The gargoyles watched him ascend. Their eyes glowed red as hot as coals in a brazier. Perhaps they had once been lions, but now they were twisted and grotesque. Bran could hear whispering to each other in soft stone voices terrible to hear. He must not listen, he told himself, he must not hear, so long as he did not hear them he was safe. But when the gargoyles pulled themselves loose from the stone and padded down the side of the tower to where Bran clung, he knew he was not safe after all. - A Game of Thrones: Chapter 17, Bran III
Esta tendência continua enquanto Bran tenta lidar com suas novas restrições,
Bran did not remember falling, yet they said he has, so he supposed it must be true. He had almost died. When he saw the weather-worn gargoyles atop the First Keep, where it had happened, he got a queer tight feeling in his belly.- A Clash of Kings, Chapter 4
A memória aparece novamente em seus sonhos com o corvo de três olhos; embora Bran não lembre quem ou o que é:
A golden man appeared in the sky above him and pulled him up. "The things I do for love," he murmured softly as he tossed him out kicking into empty air. - A Clash of Kings, Chapter 16
Os incidentes com o Corvo de Três Olhos nos mostram que Bran reprimiu a memória ou o Corvo de Três Olhos a removeu por mágica. Os sonhos mostram que provavelmente ainda há uma semente da memória, embora Bran não consiga relembrá-la completamente. Dado que estes capítulos são do ponto de vista de Bran, se ele fez lembrar, ele poderia ter nos dito como leitores, mas não as palavras faladas para qualquer um no universo.
Embora essas passagens sejam dos livros, eu sinto que elas são relevantes porque as séries 1 e 2 do programa de TV Game of Thrones foram muito fiéis ao material original. Como é mais difícil transmitir o funcionamento interno de uma mente humana na tela do que no papel, o fato deve confirmar um caminho diferente.A cena em Winterfell é quase tão exata quanto nos livros.
No entanto, há uma cena no show que não está nos livros onde Robb pergunta a Bran sobre a queda. Isso dá o ângulo nunca e também reforça que Brann não se lembra de nada.
