Daydreams replacing memories

[greyartist]

I heard a dicussion on the radio about how memory is subjective and not set in stone. Memories can change over time. I was wondering if those of us with MD could possibliy repeat the same DD enough that our minds may see it as a memory some where in the future. I know I feel I "remember" my characters from some where but am sure they are just completely made up in my head. Maybe it also ties in with deja vu.

I often start nearly telling someone about 'something that happened the other day' but before I start talking, I remember something in what happened was actually physically impossible and I realize it's a daydream.

It's so annoying!

I hope so Emily! It's comforting to know other people feel like that sometimes too.

It's strange you should bring this up because something has been bothering me for a while.

I've noticed that sometimes someone will do or say something to me and I'll answer with "Oh, I did that too the other day, I can't remember who I was with..." then realise that it didn't happen and it actually happened in my DD. This has been happening more and more, where I start to think that past DDs are actually memories of things that happened and also the period of time it takes me to realise that it didn't happen is getting longer and longer.

 

I worry that there might be something wrong with me. The thing about us MDers is that we always know what is real and what isn't, which makes the condition so unique. Anyway, I feel like lately this line is blurring because when I try to recall things it's sometimes hazy for me to decide whether it was a memory or whether it was dreamed up.
