i'm unsure of how best to gloss this but i think this mix-and-match approach is potentially confusing.

sense 1 is written as if the person remembering as the subject, and sense 2 is written as if the thing remembered is the subject.  because this entry doesn't start with に, i think sense 1 has the better perspective for the entry, but i don't like the gloss used
