False memories

Does anyone get them?

What are they like?

Do they align with real memories?

Thanks in advance.

Sometimes my dreams feel so real that I mistake them for real memories

I see.

I mean real memories from years ago that you didn’t remember until recently. By real I mean they might be false memories but they’ve answered a lot of my questions about a dark period in my life years before I had symptoms.

My voices b4 meds made me think I had done something I didn’t really do and almost admitted to doing it because it felt so real and I couldn’t remember. It was horrible

How did it feel real if you didn’t remember turtle?

I have a light guiding me through what are supposedly suppressed memories.

I was having delusions have you ever felt like deja vue some where? it felt like I had been there and done it possibly. But the voices were tricking me.

And nothing bad ever happened there

I don’t know if they’re real or false honestly.

But it would explain a lot for me too if they were real

Not deja vu but i know what you mean.

My fathers spirit in a visitation dream did tell me something untrue once and it did create a false memory. I knew it was false because it contained images of two people I dreamt of once who claimed to be my guardian angels.

But these new memories I have are different. They are the only logical explanation I’ve ever got for a night years ago that explains why it was allowed to occur.

But I find it unbelievable

Such as Human? I dont get you.

I’m confused why you’re confused.

If you’re asking me to go into detail of the false or not memory, I will not.

I mean are they realistic memories or unbelievable ones Human?

Yes. Both. When I was 25 I began to have flashbacks and was seeing a therapist who never made sense of them. They are detailed as all hell. Very few names but conversation, sensations, sound feeling, drug effects everything. Incredibly dark stuff. Had a normal childhood but they start at about age 12. I now remember it all and it’s scary. I don’t know how much is real and what is not. I began to talk about them as if they are my normal life at times. Dark. Scary. I don’t want it. There’s a word I forget. It means that when you experience trauma false memories can occur.

I don’t know.

@Quehead sound feeling? Are you saying they are sense memories and not visual memories?

At the start of last year I started gaining ‘suppressed’ memories as I set out on the path of resolving my trauma.

Before this for years I created false narrative’s and some tactile/visual memories of none existent crimes I remembered committing.

As soon as I started feeling better in myself I was in a position ( with the aid of hallucinations I either harnessed or interacted positively with ) to examine these ‘memories’ of wrongs objectively.

They made absolutely no logical sense either in terms of my getting away with said ‘crimes’, the behaviour of ‘people’ who witnessed them or the rest of my true life narrative.

As soon as I resolved these ‘memories’ as irrational I started to gain ‘new’ memories from the year’s in question that were way more detailed, fit the rest of the true events perfectly, contradicted nothing and explained peoples true life behaviour which confused me at the time perfectly. They also did not alter memories of events that objectively happened at all. I know those events happened because I had to live with the consequences of them in my local community for years.

Every angle I look at them from they seem to be genuine suppressed memories.

Yet I can’t believe them. The false narratives I had created earlier are more believable as true events even though they are entirely illogical, irrational and impossible.

I don’t get it…
