The fact that our brains can recall fantasy as reality is a form of "misattribution". It's only one of many ways that our memories are inaccurate, to speak nothing of the various biases and inaccuracies that are incorporated even in the most faithful attempts at recording or reporting factual stories. To paraphrase a common aphorism - all stories are false, but some are useful.
