Dream- It is overwhelming but great that you are able to access some memories now. But how can it not be real? Do you mean in the sense that they were fuzzy to you? I have had flashbacks and they are very powerful and I feel as if I am there. Some csa memories I have seem a little fuzzy. I asked my t once about that fuzziness and I said it seems as if it could be my imagination. But I know for sure that it is real and not my imagination. She said to me, "
Could it be your imagination?" I felt like she didnt believe me and that partiucular memory/incident I never brought up again.
