I think you're right about their Narnian memories becoming dreamlike (just as they're Earth/English/real life memories are forgotten after just a decade or so in Narnia)--that must've been how I explained it to myself when I was reading the books.
So sad to be told you're too old! I don't remember the books very well at all.
I do love the way that very opening scene gave us sympathy for Edmund. I also liked the fact that Peter was hard on Edmund, which did garner the latter a little more sympathy. I felt as though the author really favored Peter over the others in the book, but didn't feel that way in the movie--he had his own faults, just like each of the other children.
And you're completely right about how this would've made perfect sense to a kid. I read the books in high school, and quite liked them, but I knew I would've enjoyed them more when I was little. I felt the same way about the movie.
