I have very vivid and clear childhood memories that, according to my family and friends, have never happened. Normal?
I have a whole set of memories from between the ages of 3 - 5 that, according to my mom, never happened.
I remember living at an apartment complex and being allowed to wander around/hang out with other kids. I was friends with a set of twins - a boy and a girl - and their babysitter. I played barbies with the girl. One time the babysitter was giving us a tour of the apartments and we found a dead baby bird. I wanted to touch it but the babysitter stopped me. Another time, we stood beneath one of our neighbor's windows and listened to her sing opera until my mom called us in for lunch. We ate cheese and watched Speedy Gonzales.
I remember all of this vividly but my mom says none of it ever happened.
On a related note, I remember using the sewing machine to help my mom make pillows for my niece and nephew but she insists that that never happened and she sewed them by hand.
I wonder which one of us has the false memories? If my memories are false, I wonder what other things my mind has fabricated?
I have a memory from when I was very young (in a crib) that my mother swears never happened. If it did, it would mean she was cheating on my dad. hum?
Pretty normal I think. I have a memory about getting run over by a car and seeing my entire arm full of blood. I even remember telling my friends and family about it.
i have some of them. one is where i was lying on grassland full of flowers...remember that someone put me there. And i asked that someone if that happened, and she said indeed that happened but there was no grassland or flowers. And the other time i remember standing on a hill full of grass watching rainbow, but everyone say that never happened. That is so frustrating!
