Just thinking…
If I say ‘I am reminded of [something]’ this is different from saying ‘I have been reminded of [the thing]’.
In the latter expression, someone else did the reminding. In the former, it’s an internal reminding, inside me but not me.
It feels like a leftover phrase from an earlier time when the I wasn’t necessarily centred in (or controlling all of) the brain, and things could occur (happen) to you in your head without them being thought (done) by you.
