i used to do that a lot a couple of months ago. it was really bad b/c i could remember having a conversation with a person, that actually didn't happen....sometimes i would reference these conversations and the other person would have no idea what i was talking about.

a key to overcoming this is to be more mindful, and takes lots of notes. i practically document most of the conversations i have (especially at work). i just jot down a couple notes in my journal. over time, this has made it easier to separate both worlds, and not ask if someone got fired, when they actually didn't.
