    I also get popping images/thoughts of people from my very far past (30 years ago, acquaintances at the most, ) i don't even remember their names (which sometimes freaks me out although everyone tells me it's normal), and , as you said, it's very disturbing. When this happens, I try to ground myself (focus on what i see, hear, smell, touch, etc) and it helps me somehow. This usually happens when I am alone (home, car), so i also have music on, which again helps. On a funny side, one day I listened to this online Miami based radio for several hours which helped keeping my obsessive thoughts away,, but when i went to sleep, all i could hear in my head was rumba, salsa songs, and I am not even a big fun of these genres. I like to listen to all kind of music, so that night I was thankful to have these music genres popping in my head instead of the obsessive thoughts.
