Out of curiosity, how do you know you’re remembering things that actually happened? Keep in mind the “felt sensation” of remembering is itself also generated in your head, and we know people can have that sensation while “remembering” things that never happened.
- 58x14 4y agoI suppose it's impossible for me to "prove" whether these memories were/are more-or-less accurate. However they're self-consistent: since this phenomena emerged I've been recording my experiences and the referenced details within the dreams have remained unchanged. The circumstances also map correctly to knowable context: in one of these dreams, I was traveling for work and staying at a hotel. I have the email confirmation from that hotel, and a note from the same day with a simple remark about that lucid dream. Beyond this, I feel a deep, unshakeable confidence that this experience of recollection is unmistakably true. Who knows?
