Is it normal to have memories that aren't mine?

I had a brief flashback that there was a little girl sitting on the ground, playing with her toys. It looked stormy outside like a big storm was coming, maybe a hurricane. Then it just disappeared. Another time, I saw lots of fields and it felt like I was a tiger and running really fast. I have actually had many of these strange memories, none them I remember experiencing.

    Wow! Are you sure that you don't have it confused with a dream or fantasy?

    I have memories that aren't mine, but they can often be explained by dreams or insanity.

        Now I am hearing Rick continually mispronouncing his sons name as a drawn out two syllable word in my head... "Caaaroll" So thanks for that.

    Just part of your imagination. Probably memories of a dream you had, or something you saw on TV.

    I'm going to go ahead and assume that you know that this isn't "normal" - but that doesn't mean it's not something that hasn't been experienced and described by a lot of really notable people. Sensing from the faith in your posts that these are sincerely not "your" memories (but not completely foreign to you either), you might be truly be asking a whole different question. A certain question that I'm not exactly fond of and that no one person can let you know.

    If you're ready to understand this and do a little "research" for shits 'n giggles - I'll post a couple of links. Anything posted is for conjecture and conjecture only - I am not posing to actually believe in any of this, I just am very interested in topics of this nature and get a kick out of reading about different ideas. Sometimes it's nice to know that other people experience this as well, with a grain of salt of course.

    Exact same thing happens to me. I think it's just a very active imagination. One of my "memories" is me as a busty young blonde woman wearing a revealing red and white dress waving out the window with my handkerchief to a man or maybe men leaving the town. I think it was early in the century like from 1910+.

    Sometimes I talk to people about conversations we never had. Mostly it stems from my vivid dreaming, and me having memories of that dream.

    Have you been close to an alien technology that is known as a Reaper? Because that happens.

    In all seriousness, you can have very seemingly realistic dreams that are strange. I'm curious as to know how you KNOW that those dreams aren't yours. Did you hear them described by someone and then they just manifested one day?
