Create memories of crap that didn't happen that randomly pop into your head, making you focus on absolutely nothing else not even realizing you're sitting on the grass in the park anymore, when there is no fking way that happened because you were at your grandma's house and there is no way she would've let that happen, and the idea of that possibly happening being in your head means you despise someone who visited and get angry thinking about them for absolutely no reason?

The Mandela Effect? Or someone implanted (inception) a thought into your brain? Or drugs? 😛 The brain is an insane thing, isn’t it?

The answer is surprising to so many people. Now people think that technology rules the day and we know everything regarding whatever subject is brought up. The simple truth is we have yet to determine that. There are many theories as to the memory system or processes of the human brain. Scientists and neurological specialists are digging into it. The human brain is one of the most spectacular things we have ever encountered. Yet, it is not a Newman-based computer sitting on top of the desk that often will give error codes when malfunctioning. I get amused as I take a medication called Xanax, which was discovered back in 1970. If you read the patient leaflet, the last line is always, "The mechanism of action of this medication is poorly understood." It is the most prescribed psychiatric drug in the world, and we know it elevates a neurotransmitter in the brain called GABA. Other than that, who knows? It is just effective; yes, we cannot fully explain why.

Wow, where did that come from? Well, obviously it came from you. I read the OP and my first thought was "Okay... The Mandela Effect, but i am too cautious to talk about stuff like that here". Pleased to see you have more bravery than what i have

That's the "monkey mind" at play. The constant train of thoughts passing, rising and falling etc., through the mind. It's a big part of it. But remember just thoughts at that point.

This is why I like to replay a DVD or re-read a book. I'll find that I've mis-remembered certain details. But if it's from a DVD of a TV series that I've watched, I'll insist that plot on the DVD was altered. In fact, that was true for the movie "Brazil," where the made-for-TV version was missing the last 15 minutes, entirely changing the movie's impact.
But "Create memories of crap that didn't happen" comes naturally to me, except I don't consider them memories. I start out distinguishing my inner fantasy life from real life pretty well. But I suppose as time goes by, how can I be sure to remember what was the fantasy? __________________ Major Depressive Disorder; Sleep Apnea; possibly on the spectrum Nuvigil 50mg; Effexor 37.5mg Wellbutrin 150mg; meds for blood pressure & cholesterol Last edited by SquarePegGuy; Aug 08, 2024 at 08:31 PM..
