Highly specific shared false memory, or a glitch? This just happened..

.. and it gets weirder by the minute. Last month I purchased a 2-pack of Wilton Cinnamon Oil in order to make Christmas candy. I was especially looking forward to it because as I child, I ate anise hard candy every Christmas, but I wanted to have cinnamon oil as a backup in case nobody liked the anise. This year I had enough time off that I thought I would tackle the project since I have not had tasted either in many years.

Not one hour ago I tore every cupboard, closet, and over/under/inside/behind each drawer in my entire house looking for this oil that I distinctly remember ordering and opening. It came on a hanging yellow and purple cardboard pack which was, as I said, Wilton brand. When it came in the mail last month, I held up that package and showed my family what it was and asked that nobody, ya know, "mess with it," until after I've made the candy. After ripping the house apart, I asked my husband if he remembered the cinnamon oil. "Yes, of course," he replied, "I was looking forward to trying the candy." I asked him if he remembered what it looked like. "Yeah, purple and yellow package, 2 tiny bottles." I tell him I can't find it, anywhere. I've destroyed the house over a half ounce of cinnamon oil. He helps me look.

No one has been in my kitchen at all November or December, other than myself (edit: my son, who is 6), my husband, and I. We keep the doors locked when we're not here. Absolutely no one could have moved it. Now I'm kind of bugging out. There's no where this stuff could be hiding in my house. No one was here. We don't have pets or ghosts or anything at all that would remotely explain it not being where I remember putting it. WHERE IS IT. I've had an emotional holiday season, and day today, and I just want to make some candy, and this is making me feel a little crazy. I start questioning whether or not I even really bought it, which of course doesn't help. It dawns on me- the purchase history! At least I can see that I did order it and then I won't feel crazy. I just want to see proof that I had it and I feel like I can trust what the screen says. Can't I?

It's not there. It isn't in the purchase history for Walmart, where I order groceries online and sometimes things get shipped to the house. I checked the individual orders because it will display when an item was ordered but out of stock. Not there. I bounce over to Amazon. Nope. I'm kind of laughing at this point because this is just silly, right? I mean, I

Emdr and false memories

What is the likelihood that emdr can bring up false memories? I’ve been doing it for a few months to deal with a single trauma teenaged sexual assault. But I’ve always had this lingering feeling that something happened when I was really young β€” as those feelings of shame and secrecy and anxiety that I felt from my actual assault just felt so familiar and almost triggering in a sense? I’ve never talked about this suspicion with anyone, bc it just seemed unrealistic and I couldn’t even imagine who could have been responsible even if something had happened. My mom was molested as a kid, so she’s always been very protective and cautious about that kind of thing.

That being said, my entire life, I’ve had extreme anxiety about physical affection, hugging and kissing relatives, even partaking in peace be with you at church. I always felt this intense shame and violation when I was expected to touch someone, and it became a big area of contention in my family. People touching me just made me cringe. Even my parents. My reactions to it were just seen as rude and weird.

Anyway, I was reprocessing during emdr while connecting to some of those feelings of anxiety and shame related to my assault, and an image of my aunt and her ex bf popped into my head. Now keep in mind, the only thing I remember about this guy was from home movies and a vague memory that he existed, his name and what he looked like. I have no conscious recollection of ever being alone with him or even speaking to him. I must have only been 3-5 when he was around. Suddenly I had this image of him showing me is his penis and I was overcome with this intense feeling of panic/shaking/fear/ and this awful tingling (almost like involuntarily arousal/ orgasm). It was one of the most intense things I’ve ever felt, and I just want to know what’s the likelihood that what I experienced was an actual memory or just my brain doing a weird thing. The feelings in my body felt so visceral and real, but the scenario just seems so unlikely? my aunt is severely bipolar, and while she was around when I was very young, and we were close, she would disappear for big chunks of time and then resurface. I went like 5 years without seeing her, and then she just showed back up, moved in around the block and started nannying for a girl I went to school with when I was like 11. I remember the girl teasing me saying that my aunt told her a secret about me (something about me sleep walking naked) which I always thought was w

False memories

Two years ago I suffered a traumatic brain injury so bad the doctors put me in a medically induced coma to relive the swelling on my brain. I have not been the same since. It’s totally fucked with my memory. There are big chunks of my life that are totally missing but the worst part is the false memories. I have memories of events, places and even people who never existed. It’s so fucked up. I even remember childhood friends whose houses I visited. I asked my Mom about a friend named Lucy who I visited Thanksgiving 1999 and she insisted I spent it at home. I swear I even had a friendship bracelet I made with one of these friends that I kept in a box under my bed. I checked the box and it’s gone! I even remember celebrities and movies that seem to not exist. I swear I saw a movie at the Theatre back in 2008 set during The Mexican Revolution either called La Adelita or Mexican Girls. From what I remember it was really good even though I don’t remember much about it. It was about a love story between a guy named Charlie and a woman named Catalina. It starred an actress named Lola Rendon as Catalina. She looked like Gina Rodriguez with curly hair and fuller lips. I ask my family about the movie and the lead actress but they don’t recall any of that. If you made it this far thanks for tolerating my rant.

False memories?

Does anybody else experience remembering things that fuel your delusions that may not have happened? I experience suddenly β€˜remembering’ things people said or did to me that they later completely deny. The remembering is usually triggered by seeing something related to it. It feels like the future influences my past. Just want to know if people have extremely real feeling false memories often.

Is this a false memory? I swear this happened

Hey so me and some mates were discussing weird shit over a few bevvys and I brought up something I remember "clear as day".

I can't recall the finer details like month or even year, I'm terrible with that stuff. But I remember there was a massive boom over Adelaide during the night, the middle of the night it turned to day. Not lighting lit up but actual blue sky daylight for about a solid 30 seconds or so.

Everyone I speak into says they dont recall that but I remember clearly it being the only thing anyone talked about the next day at work. The then wife also said it was the only thing talked about. I remember it being odd as after 2 or 3 days it was pretty well forgotten about. I think I remember on the news them saying it was just lightning or a small earthquake and everyone that made no sense.

Is this a false memory or does anyone else recall this?

What is a false memory like?

I’m believing that I have false memories of being a serial killer with my now girlfriend. These memories have no basis to them at all and are mostly vague. Except for one out of the ten β€œvictims” whom I for some reason remember to be named Elijah. I don’t know anyone named that. In addition, I don’t remember how we did it, I don’t remember when, and I don’t remember who. Obviously neither of us live very secretly and also seeing as we’re 14 I find it almost impossible that we did kill someone. But nonetheless it still feels so real.

How to tell between real and false CSA memories?

How can you tell the difference between real memories of abuse and false ones? Is it normal to remember certain details like emotions, physical sensations, how the walls looked, the abusers' shoes, and some of what the abuser said during the abuse, but not remember many other things like what you or the abuser were wearing, everything the abuser said, or what the exact layout of everything in the room was? I know false memories usually lack detail, but with memories from decades ago in early childhood (think elementary school age,) how much detail is normal to not remember?

Also, is it normal to remember feeling like everything slowed down during the abuse, and for some reason, physical sensations, although they were definitely still there, were somehow, somewhat numbed? Wouldn't the memories be of excruciating pain if they were real?

False-Memory Syndrome

TW: CSA mention, incest mention

So, Jeffrey Epstein's wife is on trial, and for the defenses argument, they brought in a "professional in memory" to make the harrowing claim that the women accusing Epstein had false memories implanted in them. There are really good articles dissecting it, but it makes me fear for my own memories.

No one really believes me when I say I've been sexually abused. I barely believe myself sometimes. It's hard to work around memories that feel implanted or fake. I worry constantly that I am bleeding my memories of being assaulted later in my life to memories of my childhood. I have a lot of doubts about my trauma.

There's a lot of evidence that begs the contrary though. I just worry that everything that happened to me could have been me making it up. It sounds implausible but I still fear for the idea that I have all these memories that are inherently false. I don't want to accuse an innocent man.

I'm doing EMDR, which is where the memories are coming from, but they feel fake. Like I am just bullshitting my way through therapy. But it also feels so real.

I just wanted to get this off my chest. I recommend reading into the trial if you can stomach it. There are a lot of good arguments against the idea of false memory syndrome, but there are a few for it. In my opinion you can't just make up trauma, but a part of me fears that I did. It's so confusing.

BPSO Still believes false memories

Skip down to second paragraph if you want to get to false memories...I gotta give some background for all my armchair therapists.. I've been married to BPSO for 22 years. She has always been a highly emotional narcissist since we met 25 years ago. Two years ago I found out she had an affair 16 years ago This affected me severely and I went into a depression (it was more the details...she was with him in our home while I was at work). I was prescribed antidepressants but couldn't take how they made me feel. So I started smoking weed to get my mind under control (self medicating isn't the wisest thing to do). She also started smoking with me. About two months later, my wife started having bladder pain - none of her doctors or specialists could find anything wrong. I worked nights, and had to leave around 1x per week to go home and take her to the doctor. Eventually the bladder pain just went away but she began to act differently. She had already stopped cooking or cleaning, now she stopped taking care of our 5 kids. She became combative with everything and everyone. She got banned from 3 stores and had the police called on her multiple times for her behavior in our neighborhood. She would stay out longer with her friends and not answer calls. A couple of days of the week she would just come in the house, by pass the kids, smoke a little, then go to bed. We had sex every night, sometimes multiple times. Then a couple of months later, she woke me up with a panic attack. I took her to the emergency room, and they wanted me to admit her to behavior health. I told them no, but probably should have. She blamed me for her being kept there for so long and said that I tried to have her admitted. Then goes the roller coaster of nice, then mean TOTAL BEE-ACH...I must have gotten divorced in my head 127 times. Fast forward a few more months and she goes into full manic. She thought I was some voodoo priest and I had a spell on her. She was having whole conversations with herself while staring out of the window. She called the police to get me thrown out, she told them I had touched my daughter "spiritually- not physically". She also told them 16 years ago, the chief of police held her down so I could rape her (same time as her affair). They told me to get a court order to get her some help. I didn't have to...she woke the kids up at 2 am and just started walking to who knows where. My oldest ran back and woke me up, so we left back out to go find them. I called 911 and

Yeah had this trippy thought tonight as I've been playing Diablo 2 Ressurected. I feel like my last decade I've been just trying to recapture the lighthearted fun I used to have before everything got so damn heavy and gloomy.

I think I loaded up D2 to try and get that feeling of just grinding all night without a care, having a blast, finding cool loot.

But... what if those memories are false. What if we've always lived in a state of this dissatisfaction and it's just an illusion that there's some better, happier state of being that we're nostalgic for???

False Memory (5th stage spoilers)

For some reason, I remember when I first watched episode three, when Takumi races Omiya, that when his GT wing broke on one side, that he intentionally banged the other side at the next corner [on a sign or branch?] so it would break it off completely. I even remember the sidewinder guys witnessing it and commenting that he must be trying to restore the car's balance since the wobbly wing made his cornering unstable. Obviously that doesn't happen in the episode... once the wing breaks on the left side, he just tries to keep driving and spins otu right away.. I have read the manga and it doesn't happen there either. Wonder why I have that memory so vivid?

False memory and coincidences?

Can someone please respond to this?

So, a few years ago I developed a worry that I had harmed someone and repressed the memory. I went through harm ocd in 2015, so it would’ve had to have been then. I kept having β€œmemories” of it happening and it kept getting more real as time went on, so I went to therapy and received help for it.

Well, last year I felt like I had to prove once and for all that nothing happened so I googled crimes/deaths that have taken place in my town. Lo and behold, there was a suspicious death that occurred in my town in December 2015 - the exact time I was going through harm ocd. I live in a small town and things like this don’t happen a lot, so what are the chances.

Not only that, but my YouTube activity is weird right around that time. (The Saturday before the man was found dead my YouTube activity stops at 7pm and starts again at 4am. My activity has never looked like that before, and why is it only then? Does that mean I left my house late at night?)

Kylo and Rey's vision/memories of Rey's parents in The Last Jedi were manipulated by Palpatine to be false

^(TL;DR at the bottom)
In The Last Jedi, Kylo and Rey discuss Rey's parentage:

>Kylo: You want to know the truth about your parents or have you always known? You've just hidden it away. You know the truth. Say it.
>
>Rey: They were nobody.
>
>Kylo: They were filthy junk traders. Sold you off for drinking money. They're dead, in a pauper's grave in a Jakku desert. You had no place in this story. You come from nothing. You're nothing...

This implies Rey knew her parents were no one.

In The Rise of Skywalker, Kylo meets Palpatine, and they have this exchange

>Palpatine: Kill the girl, [...] But beware. She is not who you think she is.
>
>Kylo**:** Who is she?

This means Kylo genuinely believed what he said to Rey on the Supremecy.

Later, Kylo and Rey have a few exchanges over her newly revealed true parentage:

>Kylo: You remember more than you say. I've been in your head.
Rey: You're lying.
>
>Kylo: I never lied to you. Your parents were no one. They chose to be. To keep you safe.
>
>Rey: Why did the Emperor come for me? Why did he want to kill a child? Tell me.
Kylo: Because he saw what you would become. You don't just have power. You have his power. You're his granddaughter. You are a Palpatine. My mother was the daughter of Vader. Your father was the son of the Emperor. What Palpatine doesn't know is we're a dyad in the Force [...]

From the point of view of Rey, this revelation makes sense. Rey thought her parents were no one, they were... but. However, from the perspective of Kylo, this makes no sense. Why did Kylo believe Rey's parents were "filthy junk traders", who "sold [her] off for drinking money", and that Rey "[came] from nothing."? All of those things are untrue.

So what does this all mean? That Kylo's information on Rey was somehow manipulated to be false.

(TL;DR)
Kylo's visions/knowledge of Rey's parents being no one was a manipulation, probably a vision implanted by Palpatine, possibly of the 'truth' but cut up, leaving out key details, to force a certain (and false) conclusion.

Did I create a false memory of Meadow walking into the restaurant in the final episode?

Hello, I just finished watching the Sopranos about 2 weeks ago for the first time, and there is something that is really bothering me.

>!In the very last scene when Meadow is about to walk into the restaurant, and you hear the bell ring, and Tony looks up, I have a very vivid memory of the next shot being Meadow opening the door to the restaurant when everything goes black. But every time I have re-watched the scene, the last shot is Tony looking up and we never see Meadow come into the restaurant. I found a little information that other people have experienced this, but not much. Did this happen to anyone on here? What the heck is going on? The memory of that happening was so solid in my head that I couldn't stop thinking about it. Then when I went to rewatch it and it wasn't there I was completely confused. Where was the shot of Meadow walking through the door? Did that shot ever exist in reality, or was there something about the scene that made my brain create that image? It's just so bizarre to me and I was just curious how many others experienced this.!<

Implicit flashback or false memory - please help

Reposting in the hopes that someone will give this a read and maybe respond.

So, I have what I hope to be a false memory. But I recently looked up different types of flashbacks and there is one called β€œimplicit” where you feel like the present moment is causing the flashback/is the flashback.

While going through these β€œflashbacks” I remember thinking that it felt like it took part of the present moment to make it feel so real. Like something in the present triggered it. No actual recall except for these flashbacks coming on by me ruminating about the memory.

Does this mean I was actually having flashbacks of harming someone or could this still be a false memory? I’m so confused and scared, please reply if you can/want.

I’m sorry for posting so much in here but I’m honestly so close to just turning myself in because I can’t take this anymore and nobody relates at all.

"False" memories of life in India

I was born and raised in Chicago. I have, since early childhood, what I can only refer to as "false" memories of very hot, dry evenings with a very dusty, dark sunset over a river. There are also elephants. I somehow equate having this "memory" while standing in my old back yard which had trains running behind it, and I believe we'd been to Brookfield zoo that day, so the elephants may have been a trigger for this memory?

I would not have been able to identify this location as a small child, but as I grew older and more worldly, it became clear this was a sunset along the river Ganges, Yamuna, or similar, in India.

Any thoughts?

False memories?

The past week I've had 2 very clear memories of things I did but didn't actually happen. First one I can remember taking dinner out of freezer and putting it in the fridge. I remember thinking if it was OK if it defrosted (cook from frozen type of thing) Got home from work and not only was it not in the fridge, it was buried in the freezer. Second one was tonight. I was sure I put the sour cream in the fridge, just found it on the table. I also have a clear "memory" of putting it away. This is so not fun.
Does this happen to anyone else?

Our childhood memories are gradually replaced by false memories as we grow older. Can we really put our trust in our childhood memories?
