Good morning. ⚓⚓⚓
5 September 2024
Memory is a strange thing; I think that sometimes we can remember things that didn’t actually happen or happen differently than we recall. There are not any specific examples that I can conjure up at this moment, but sometimes my wife and I remember events of the past completely differently. It makes sense though because there are things that do happen that we do not remember. There are also things that we do remember but conveniently claim not to remember or at least wish we didn’t remember. I wonder sometimes if our memories are influence by our dreams, can we have memories that were actually dreams?

I believe one can most definitely have memories that were actually dreams.@Swede1952@universeodon.com Get the book “Invisible Gorilla.” People can, and DO, remember things that didn’t happen.

I looked the book up, it sounds like it could be and interesting read.
@Swede1952@universeodon.com I connected it b/c of the original “gorilla” research but … there are other examples in there that are just astounding.
